madcat6183 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Who's taller, your tint guy or MT?MT, and I am 100% serious. This guy is 5 ft 1in, not kidding. It's awesome, especially when he was doing my truck, he had to have a step ladder.Laws didn't change, 50% is LEGAL, but that's not what I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 still 50%Actually just got a call back from some local shop in Cbus, as I want to explore quotes anyways for SandG, and he stated that March 21st, ALL shops in OH can ONLY put 50% on the fronts, or it's a misdemeanour and possible shop closure.Not kidding.Quotes 140-299 right now.

Check page 5 here. They get a 4th degree misdemeanor and a 180 day shop closure, however, the wording is such that those do not go into effect until the 2nd offense. The person who got the ticket can sue for "damages" as well. Looks like I need to get my tint done on or before 3-21-13.Madcat, I forgot to mention that my wrx is a 5-door as and I am not going to want to go as dark as 20%. I don't know if that would hurt the discount or what Edited February 27, 2013 by imprez55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Roger that Imprez, he has everything, he did wifes in 30% and its nice, he usually just goes with that unless someone wants darker. Hard to tell from 50% FYI. And yes OH is the worst and basically blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I am going to do my truck' date=' myself. The rear/kingcab windows are factory tint. I just want to match those on the door windows.[/quote']I have done my own before too, i found it easier just to remove the door windows and just do it on a bench.

madcat6183 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yeah I helped to do my 250 windows and it was cake, we don't remove glass but do remove all trim and door panels, it was so easy, and we even had to remove the old shitty film.Update on pricing, so far I've heard NOTHING below 190 in Cbus, except The Tint Dude. I'm getting impatient, but did just spend some coin last night so may just wait until I come up. I am calling my guy this weekend and will tell him about you others in the area who are interested too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaposer Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Had the wifes new car done yesterday. 65 drivers/passengers, 85 on the rest. I guess when we get the new jeep, we'll have to get it done out of state to get the 65. Great idea Ohio, lets kill off even more jobs.

madcat6183 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Uh what? 68/85? that means it would be barely tinted. The lower the number the darker the tint, I.E. 5% is considered Limo black. The % is in relation to the amount of light let in.That looks sick for sure though, I'm guessing you mean 15% and 35%, which looks right.

Limo tint on my work van was 95%. But yeah, the slight difference from the rears to the front doors must be enough that I've never been harassed for them being too dark.

madcat6183 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 LOL yeah, they are wrong. But that looks really nice man. My wife's suv we did 30 up front and the rear was already about 15 from the factory, and like you sauid the difference is just enough not to get harrassed.

shittygsxr Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I have gotten one ticket for tint in 8 year so I just paid the $$. Looking good comes at a cost, one that I am ok with paying.I need someone to black out some of the silver. A tone suggest a vinyl guy?

jporter12 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I need to find someone that can remove tint without damaging the rear defroster and re-tint my rear. It was tinted when I bought it, and it must be cheap tint, because 12 years later it's bubbling pretty badly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
