Pro Auto Sound Miami did a good job for a fair price.

Don't remember my percentage but I do know they're not legal.

Cops staking these forums ....

I advise everyone to stay away from this thread.. some bad juju here.. Lol.

I got my car tinted 2 days after I got in almost 2 years ago.. been riding around with 16% tint this whole time with no issues.. 1 day after posting on this thread I get pulled over for illegal tint.. Lol. The cop was nice tho and he let me off then proceeded to leave quickly at a high rate of speed which leads me to believe the tint was just an excuse.. he did bring out the tester tho and said in the state of Florida 28% is the limit, mine read 17%.. supposed to be 16%

Honestly doesn't seem that dark at all, I actually wanted it darker.. not anymore.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Me I am just an international spy not interested in local issues. ;)

Formula 1 Pinnacle is awesome. Lifetime warranty and they use select tint dealers that are considered the better ones out there (out of Llumar retailers). I've had it on 4 vehicles now. Never bubbles, never fades, and has the highest heat rejection. The clarity is also like glass.

I have 20% all around and it's not overly dark in appearance from the outside that it warrants attention from the cops. I also did Llumar Air80 on the entire windshield. Even for a clear film, it's noticeable how much sun/heat is rejected off my legs. Being a fair skinned Irish kid, I need that extra protection. I never have to do the lean to one side to avoid direct sunlight or feeling like I'm getting burned.

Between the 20% F1 and Air80 Llumar the a/c doesn't work as hard to cool the car down, and in conjunction with a windshield screen it helps to keep it cooler when parked. At least, as much as a dark car can be cool in 100 degree heat.

I'll give a shout out for an excellent tint shop: Flying Window Tinters of Longwood. Some of the best work I've seen and I use them exclusively now. They have a YouTube channel where you can check out some of their stuff.

3M Crystaline the winner !

I went with the 3M Crystalline, it had the best protection while not being to dark. I got 40% on the side and rear windows and 70 on the windshield (you can't even tell anything is there). However the downside was cost, $750 for everything.
Going the same route, tomorrow is the day for my appointment. I believe its the best balance for protection / visibility and well the price is high but I am going pamper my baby. :D

:cheers:

:ford:

750? Was this on a Mustang? That's the highest I've ever seen for legal tint, even on an SUV.

I believe it was $450 for regular windows and an extra $250 for windshield. With tax came out to just under $750.

Might be worth the drive to Longwood next time... I was at 420 all in with 15% and then Air80 on the windshield with Formula 1 Pinnacle.

I did a carbon setup, 50% for the entire front windshield, 35% on the sides, and 18% for the back and quarter windows. Worked out well. was 400 for all. A little more, but lifetime warranty.
