Hi guys, just got all my windows tinted with 3m Crystalline 70. For those that don't know, it's a window film that has all the heat rejection qualities of darker tints without being dark! Only place that I couldn't do it was the front windshield, for which I got a top 5" strip of 3m Color Stable (VLT 20). I wanted to stay 50 state legal (for the most part), so that's why I wanted something that would not black out the windows. It is a WEENSY bit darker than before of course, but I only notice because it's my car and I knew how it was before.
I've never had window tint before! It's amazing! On the way back from the tinting place, the FL heat sun was shining directly on my arm (which I would have felt a LOT before, believe me) and it was like..not even a warm sensation. $400 well spent in my book!
What does everyone else have for tint?? Anyone try the Llumars Air Blue??
Now to completely cocoon my car from the sun, I need to get a sun shade for when I park since my car is always outside..and yes, I hand wax my car, so the exterior is protected as well.
I hope to take some pics of it for everyone to see, but it's a tiny bit dirty right now. Had planned to wash it after the tint job, but FL spring/summer weather makes it such that it rains everyday at this time usually. Will take pics hopefully next week after a good car wash, weather permitting of course.
