Tinted my windows today
 
Summer is approaching and I decided to tint my windows to block some sun and to add some additional privacy. This is the first car that I've had tinted, and I'm pretty happy with the results. I think the darker windows go with the paint well. I had all windows (except the windshield) tinted at 35% with Llumar tint which carries a lifetime warranty. What do you guys think? :shade:

Also, the tint shop removed my AT-PZEV sticker from the rear window, does anyone know if it's possible to get another one?? Not a big deal, but I kind of liked it :).

Awesome looking, and great pics !!!!

By the way, where the heck is the snow?? You folks have it too easy, LOL :P



The Canadian models do not have the AT-PZEV window stickers either but you can more than make up for that by adding the side badges !!! ;)

My wife's 2007 HCH with the side hybrid badges.

I paid $250, which included lifetime warranty. I am really happy with the quality of work, for example they applied the rear window film in one piece instead of strips cut between the defroster lines. I'm hoping this tint will last me a looooong time.

Awesone Tint! Your car looks great! Is it true that the 08 already comes with a light tint?

Looks really great. Anyone here apply tint themselves? I helped a friend do it 10 years ago and it wasn't up to my standards. I wish it was easier because the cost savings is substantial.

I am going to have mine done in early June, actually the appt. is 6/4...I am going with the 3M solar bead tint which is claimed to reflect 80some % of the suns heat....I will let you all know what I think in July or so :-).
Damian, I understand all 06,07 & 08's come with "solar glass" don't know about earlier models....it is presumably, like low-e glass in your home.

Nice looking tint job. Didn't think folks up in the Great White North bothered with tinting. Down here it's pretty much a necessity. Even with tinting, shady parking spaces are the most prized real estate in these parts every summer.
