I want to tint my black 01 mustang...im in nj...I just wanted to ask the professionals here what kind of tint should I get...I really have no familiarity with any tinting lingo...I'm thinking 30% all around should be fine...is that fine? too light? too dark?...also is there like a certain brand name of tint that I should go after...I read something about huber optik but those looked super expensive just from their website...im in bergen county and was also wondering if any of you guys know a good shop in that area...wow I guess thats a lot of questions im asking...any help is greatly appreciated!! thank you.

nj dosen't allow tint on the fronts or visor

we all use different brands

the right installer is more important than brand names

Thanks a lot for the response guys!!

zolar: you mentioned a tinter from "the registry". since a person is a member of the registry, does that mean they are usually better than your average joe? also is there any way I can look through this registry?

tigerstripe: I totally agree. I do not want any hassles with the cops. one of my friend's has I think 5% or something simialr all around on his pontiac grand prix...he sometimes gets hassled but since the car is leased he at least does not have to worry about inspection!

midcoast: I definitely plan to keep this car a while. are metallized tint the best a person can get for his vehicle? and how much are they compared to just normal tint?

btw, how much do u think the cost will be of tinting a stang coupe?

On a black Mustang, I would go with a black Film. The metal films just wouldn't do it. Try www.formulaone.com. You can locate a dealer in your area through this site. Formula One Pinnacle is a Ceramic based film actually made for cars, it is true black, excellent heat rejection, and no electronic interference (like radar detectors, GPS, and satellite radio.) It may be a little more expensive, but it carries a Nationwide Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty. Ask the dealer if they participate in the no fault program. This means if you scratch it, or someone breaks a window. They will retint that window at nop charge. This is in addition to the lifetime warranty. It is the best way to protect your investment. Good Luck. Pinnacle is available in 50% / 35% / 15%. If you have a light interior, the 35% will be almost invisible through the back window. The 15% will make the front windows look tinted as well. NJ law allows anything behind the driver (nothing on the front two R/Us), but the cops may pull you over cause they can.

Good Luck!

there is a section dedicated to

consumer concerns on the TD main page

the link is on the top left of the page :krazy

it also has Tint laws, and care instructions

as well as the link to the TD registry of tinters,

who are typically better than your average Joe :ditto

      Cracked glass

      The crack indicates thermal stress, however, the edge of the glass may have an imperfection (bur or clam shell chip). The crack does run 90 degrees out from the edge and curves as it follows any weaknesses in the pane itself. I have attached a pictured of what tempered glass looks like when it breaks and alongside it what a plate (or float) and heat-strengthened glass looks like when it breaks. The outer panel my be tempered should indicate so by a stamp etched on the glass surface in one corner. It should indicate tempered. Plate glass has no indicators, however, heat-strengthened glass will crack in the same manner as plate glass. I'm an unsure whether heat-strengthened glass requires a stamp. Tempered glass is 4 times stronger than plate and heat-strengthened is 2 times stronger than plate. 1 in 24 is indicative of edge imperfection. I could not find the solar absorption rate of DN 50, but if it is similar to competitive films, there should be no issue with that installation setting (including a straight line shadow). This, too, points back to edge imperfection as the cause. And finally, I spy drapes in a close position, correct? If so, it would be helpful to crack open during sun exposure; this to assist in allowing trapped heat between the glass and drapes to dissipate.

      Cracked glass

      Hello. I recently installed Johnson Daylight Natural DN 50 on a couple of windows. Solar energy rejection is 39%. The windows are double pane and the glass is supposed to be tempered 4mm + tempered 6mm. The roof overhang shades the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the windows. However, a few days after installation I noticed that one of the glass has cracked, presumably due to thermal stress. Should I remove the film from the rest of the windows? I installed the film on 24 of these windows (6 tiny houses) so now 1 out of 24 is broken. Or is it more likely that I just got unlucky and the glass had a defect? Is shading from the roof overhang such a big factor? The glass cracked. Is it really tempered? I thought tempered glass would shatter, but not crack. Thanks!

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.
