branshew Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I never did get around to posting the pics of the tint job that I had done last year so here they are: 35% transmission all around with moderate reflectivity: Shot from the interior: I think it came out pretty good and I've been happy w/ the results. I did have to take it back a couple of times to have a few bubbles worked out around the defroster lines in the rear window, but they took care of me w/ no problems.

lexusk8 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I like the clean tint job. Not too dark and not too light, just around the medium, which is the way it should be ;) I also have 35% on all windows, and 20% on the rear. It goes very nicely with my black '01 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01es300 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Heh Bran, Did they have to take off the old tint and reapply to get the air bubbles out ? I just had mine done and the back window at the top could have been done better. It is not real tight where the defroster/micro dots are and I would like it to be better. They were done about two weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedshift Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 When you say all around, does that include the windshield? In Minnesota its illegal to have any tint on the windshield except at the very top. I've heard people do it in warmer states though..

The tech told me that the Lexus defroster lines are thicker than most cars and that they often have to touch it up several times before all of the bubbles are worked out. If your tint was just done, wait for a nice hot day, keep all of your windows rolled up to trap in the heat, turn on the rear defroster and drive over to the tint shop and get them to do it while the film is still warm and pliable.

Vandalism, I presume, would be something that they are not responsible for and i highly doubt that my tint guy warrants my tint for that.
