I wasn't directing it to you personally  :lol2

just the flock of new guys on here lately

keeping dark papa in the limelight

I just say no, no to 5% on cars, no to suicide strips, no to full windshields

It offends some of them, most will go legal if that is their only choice

the easiest way to not install 5%

is to not buy any  :lol2

Z, I am among outlaw team. And not because I am :lol6 - simply I think this law is not legitim, it's not argumented. I told it many times. I understand that it's not right place for such discussions, but who invented this lawZ? Of course 5% is too dark, but allowed VLT = nothing. And when sun shine in driverZ eye - somebody think it's good???? Somebody think it's safe to drive with one eye closed because sun kicking other eye??? :gay Not sure....

I think if we are to be leaders in this industry we will recognise that the laws are unfair

but we can still have integrity and not promote tinted windshields and blacked out cars

the laws would not be as strict if so many people would at least

not put 5% all the way around so many cars

and.... it is not any more legal to put 20% instead of 5%

but I think credible shops draw a line somewhere

because of that credibility, they can turn away that sale, and liability

.......and wait for a better car, and a better class of customer

If Dartz was to come out with legal film for the US market

I would buy it, and so would many others here

get together a line of 35% ....20% or less reflectivity

and you will sell so many containers here

:lol6

Companies like VKool used to control where their tint was applied using forms from the company. Should manufactures be responsible for where their products show up? That way legitimate shops don?t lose their customers to the hacks doing the 5 on fronts and windshields. Business is tough with the set up the manufactures have put us as installers and owners in for sure! I still have a question about double standard laws that allow auto manufactures to put a factory deep dip 20 on rear of SUV?S but owners of small cars who are trying to save gas can only have 50 or at most 35! What?s the difference? :lol6:lol2

I have the problem with customers wanting everything to match, especially trucks but in MO you are only allowed 35% so I lose alota of bussiness just off front roll downs.

MO law changed quite a bit in the last 2 years in favor of window tinting.

the other thing is Ford allows thier vehicle to go more than 100 mph. Why? so police can give tickets.

if nobody broke the law police would be outta of a job

Just my opinion, I am not siding with illegal tint , to me it is a safty issue on to dark, but there is alot more things dangerous in this world.

I am not promoting tintted windshields or something which can realy make problems for safe drive. Nonononono. But I am against laws which are taken from sky with no arguments. Yes, in areas like Jamaica people tint windshields - because very hard to drive safely without it. New tint laws which got Latvia after joining EU are no legitime, and I won't stop to tell it. I think same laws have You in America, but problem is that in case of any hurrusments people are active, but in case stupid lawZ - passive :lol2:lol2 I have more films with VLT 65, 70, 80 e.t.c. than You can imagine.....Yes, I am promoting items which look outlaw e.t.c - but it's marketing triX. I think I will better use such triX, than declare than my films save from cancer or dashboard damage. I am plain and ownest man. :gay I have completely legal in all areas stuff. From other side - I am against modern laws and regulations. Also I am against so-called "lines"....

May be I am an idiot....

So, all the "pro" legal guys on here have never pushed the envelope? You started out doing only legal tint? Even when times were tuff, no calls or walkins in days, kids are hungry, bills to pay and here comes the guy wanting to pay cash for some 20%. Would you turn him away or feed the family. I think most of us on here have been there and done that. I can see it if you are established and plenty of charge accounts like we have today where residule income is key, but even someone else on here had 15% on the front of his truck when he posted pics the other day. Just an observation of mine, but I,m just like Leo, crazy as hell or just an idiot.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
