Likwid Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 2010 VW Tiguan... trying to figure out if VW Credit (lease) allows after-market tinting... because this obviously needs a nice tint job. I decided to lease because I get bored quickly and this suits me well 2.0 TSI engine (turbocharged 200 hp) 6 speed automatic, it's not the fastest thing on the road for sure but it's fun as hell to drive.

Likwid Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yay! I checked the VW lease terms, no "poor quality window tint" so it looks like I can get a nice black tint and not be screwed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you can get your hands on accessories or other random shwag for cheap So far I'm loving everything about the Tiguan except the windows being clear! I took her down River Rd this morning on the way to work, I think she handles better than my Kawi, but what more would you expect from a noob on a cruiser?

So you're implying that Nazi's actually bettered your life? Their politics allowed for the sustainability of the companies that produce such goods and services of which you enjoy today.:drink:OMG, I've heard it all now - I need a drink.

I got some advice (ty DTM et al) so I wanted to shoot for 50% but not at the risk of tickets... so I may end up getting 70% (I have an optometrist appointment tomorrow, so I may be able to get darker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are pretty safe around these parts going 30%. My G35 is 20% all around and haven't been stopped once for it and you know the areas I'm in are all very picky to say the least. Not to mention it being an SUV, you could do limo on the rears and not ever be questioned. Marco should definitely hook you up, I've never seen anything he has done and been disappointed.

RSVDon Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Go 35%. You won't get hassled and it will still look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 lol, while I certainly understand the "do 35% or darker or don't do anything at all" I do want to remain legal for a couple reasons.1.) Lease, so turning it in I need to make sure my bases are covered2.) CCW, I don't need to give an officer any more reason to hassle me3.) My goal isn't for a "look" it's simply I want a little darker than clear, 50% more than accomplishes my goals. 4.) My interior is black, so even at 50% it should APPEAR darker:-D But yes, looking at Marco's pictures, he seems to do great work, I'm sure I won't be disappointed!

Bad324 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Based on parts 1-3 I see your point and cant disagree too much but on #4 part of me says that lil fact is mostly bullshit lol. My buddy in Indy had tan interior on his black G and had the same % as me and there was no difference at all between the 2 cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some pictures of Marco's shop, looks like he's got some samples taped up to the wall ready (and I've been told any good tinter will have samples)So we'll play it by eye, if he holds 50% to the window and you can't tell any difference then I can go darker, I've seen cars with 50% that look dark as shit, and also horror stories of getting 50% and it being clear.... so we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
