I understand personal preference. I guess I'm more cautious as I wouldn;t want to risk a ticket or give a cop an easy excuse to pull me over. But looking at the other reasons, I agree with 2,3,4 but I think I might disagree with you on the other ones.AppleBonker wrote:Oh, and Bubba, my tint is dark purely for the appearance and privacy. I like the look, and I don't want people looking into my car while parked and examining what's inside worth stealing. That, and when I'm driving I don't want people seeing that I am:
1. Singing like a tard
2. Picking my nose
3. Fapping
4. Getting dome
5. Oggling womens
6. Swearing violently at crappy drivers
7. etc.
Purely personal preference, but I like it. Basically any level of tint will aid in environmental issues and reduce the need for A/C in the summer.
Keeps me honest. No drinking and driving allowed since I could easily be pulled over at any time. (not that there aren't other reasons to not drink and drive)Bubba1 wrote:give a cop an easy excuse to pull me over
But some of us look legit mental whilst doing so.Bubba1 wrote:1. I feel that has nothing to do with tint. I would think you just close the window if you sing badly. Personally, I probably should have soundproof glass installed for my singing.![]()
Ok, this will take a bit more explanation. How do you know they're hot at first? You don't. You have to look. So what happens when you're checking for hotness and she ends up being a complete uggo? Now, imagine during the time (albeit short) where you are determining that she's less than attractive she catches your glance. Now, the manatee is thinking you're hitting on her and wants to talk. I suppose I could then explain her flaws to her, but I'm too lazy. I'd rather look away quickly and throw up in my mouth.Bubba1 wrote:5. How can you ogle womenz if they can't see you thru the tint?
Yeah, I got nuthin.Bubba1 wrote:6. As a northern NJ native, I guess I'd prefer if the idiot that I'm flipping the NJ international symbol of welcome (the middle finger) can see me. But I suppose there might be those that want anonymity and are concerned about retaliation.

It depends on your viewpoint. If you can afford the absolute best then yes, everything less then that is cheap crap.AppleBonker wrote:PoorManQ45 wrote:If tinting your vehicle costs under ~$300 you're probably getting cheap crap.Ah, so things only fall into one of two polar opposite ends of the same spectrum.

Sure ya were.. I have never had any issues with my window tint. It keeps my interior a ton cooler looks nice and kills the glare. The film is thick and doesn't scratch or peel easily. Why in the hell would I need to spend a s*** ton more to get your supposed non crap tint. Greg lives in AZ, I could see why he would shell out the extra to get the best of the best. That makes since. Your thoughtless untrue posts don't. There are a ton of tint options that are very good quality and will last forever for way less than 300. Why do you insist on posting your s*** garbage in every thread you see? I want to kick your dad in the nuts and your mom in the box for spawning you.PoorManQ45 wrote:I was referring to extremely high quality tints like Pinnacle FormulaOne or Hüper Optik

Even then, most tinting isn't worth a damn. High quality tints will block alot of heat without being dark. If tinting your vehicle costs under ~$300 you're probably getting cheap crap.
That means nothing. 3M makes mediocre tint.FlatBlackIan wrote:Are you freaking retarded?PoorManQ45 wrote:

I got a deal because I know the guy, but I got 3m tint on 7 of the 8 windows on my Max for $150. The guy and and a assistant did it while I watched in under 2 hours. They were pros.
The tint AND the install hold a lifetime warranty.
3m is fine on a budget. I didn't say it wasn't.charlieo wrote: What would you say is the best budget tint, PMQ?

Relative to the high quality stuff it is still crap...
To block the same amount of heat you need a much darker tint with budget tint . This sucks as you quickly get in to illegal levels.
This. I'm still Illinois at heart, but as soon as I moved to Indiana I threw illegal tint back on my car. Been here a bit more than 6 months and the police have yet to look twice.Koshin wrote:I love Indiana becasue they literally dont care what you do to your car.
