Tinted windows questions.........
 
Has anybody tinted thier A6? What was the cost and what are the laws? How about some pictures? Thinking of doing my A6. First quote I got was $250. Thanks

tinting laws depend on the state. It cost me 150 bucks to tint my car. 250 seems a little high.

$250.00 is too high, there is a local shop here ion NY that will do any sedan for $99

Only 2 places near me that tint windows.:( One charges $250.00 and the other $225.00. I could do it myself. Saw a kit on the Net for $79.95. The pieces are all cut out ready to install. But wanted some kind of warranty that the shops provide. My warranty kinda sucks.;)
Someone has to have pic or two. Let me see them. Please[8D]

I have tinted my windows, it is a fun time. I bought my tint at Walmart. Each state has different laws in different car/truck. In MN the law is you can have it dark as you if you have a Van or a SUV in the rear windows. But it you have a car or a truck it is 35% limit.

1. The best way to do it is to buy the pre-cut tint. That is half of the battle.

2. Mix a solition with water and dish soap. Lemon Joy works well.

-Spray generiously

3. Then smooth out (i like using a old credit card)

good tip.....

If you can leave the car in the same area/temp as you installed the tint. Like overnight before driving the tint will stick and look better.

Thanks for the picture, same color car I have.:)
Around the outside edge of the back windows are those black dots, does the film go over these? That's why
I think I will pay the $225, the extra will be like paying for a warranty and a piece of mind.
I'll post pics once I get it done.
Thanks for the input.

I still cannot help but feeling that, that price is too high, I would check around.

For the back window I used 6 inch strips that were pre-cut that way for the back window. Yes it did go over the black dots.

I paid $175 and got a lifetime guarantee against scratches and all that good stuff. I didn't get it too dark. Certain angles it looks dark...Here is a link.
