Window Tint
Window Tint
Hey guys I have a quick questions on window tine. I have an appointment at 1 to install some tine on my Starfire Pearl IS350. It has Nav, bluetooth, Xm,..
The tint is 3M, will this affect anything?
I asked and the tint shop said no, but I just want to make sure I wont lose any functions.. or get poor reception on anything

The one thing it will affect would be if you had a TV antenna installed on one of your windshields. Having tint will lose reception on the TV antenna. But, I dont think you have a TV so you're fine.

Go to Sunshield in Sherman Oaks (At the 101 and Sepulveda Blvd) I paid $160 last fall for my new IS350 and they did a GREAT job in 2 hours. (I had my last 3 cars done there too) I have NAV and there is no need to get the expensive ceramic tint (Some say plain tint interrupts the signal) unless your main reason to get tint is to keep the car cool because it is parked outside 24/7.
I got 3M tint, I forgot the % already though. I know its the darkest on all the rear windows (5%?) and I think 50% on the fronts. The fronts are the second to lightest tint. Dropped the car off at 1PM and got it at 5PM. The guy said IS' are hard to to tint. I paid $200 for everything. Lifetime warranty.
Here are some of everybody's favorites!.. Pictures!
I've held off washing my car today because its suppose to rain, but so far it hasn't.
But then its suppose to rain tomorrow too!

Since my car is black/black, I went 35% on the back and 50% around to make it look consistent.
Thanks, yours is looking good too. I was limited to what tint I could use on the fronts, but I still like it.
