Cool Brand new Tint!

Just like to thank Brian from Shaded Industries for an outstanding job! Did not break bank <<$200!

5% all rear side and back windows and 25% front sides. I didn't go with the strip on the front windshield, but now i'm thinking I should've.... oh well

Starting the back


Getting the front done


Done

Looks clean! Looking forward to tinting my NBSP in the coming months.

Did you end up tinting both panes of rear glass, or just the large rear window?

I love the look and very nicely done, looks great on the white car, too


Just wondering how the visibility is out the rear, especially at night with the 5%? Or even out the sides with the 25%? I am thinking the darkest I can go would be better to protect my interior from the sun once I get to FL.


Thanks for sharing!

Be honest with you, have no idea, but he comes to this little town and Tints for the Car shops here, and he used whatever he uses for them. He assured me its no cheap stuff, and got warranty on it. Be honest with you, as long as it looks good, doesn't peel n stuff i'm a happy camper.

Cops don't bug you with that level tint on the front sides?

I just got mine tinted. I have a NBP. I got 5% in the back and 20% in the front. At first I couldn't see anything out the back. Now I am used to it and love it.

The next step is to tint the tail lights.

I think that all colors of the CRZ look good with tints. The dude that did mine did a great job. He is in Queens if anyone wants to hit him up.

I need to take some pics. This weekend.

don't know yet, yet to drive it out the Garage (minus up n down street). I'm tired seeing to many dang other cars with Tints in the front and none on mines. (accord) Granted this car will probably attract cops a bit more. Time will tell! remember no drinking n driving

Was any "shaping" needed? Did you see him using a heat gun to shrink the film anywhere, or was it a more straight-forward install with no shaping needed?
