hello eveybody!

I am new to the fourm. I am not a Tinter, I am simply an over protective car maniac that has been doing a lot of research before I get my car tinted. I drive a 98 Acura CL and am looking to get it tinted with 20% tint here in Charlotte, NC. (Now, before anyone starts to yell at me for being illligal darkness.......I have read on here about how all of you are very aginst it, however, I am not trying to hide anything from the law, just simply protect the audio equipment in my car from would be window shopping theifs.) I have invested over a grand in my car audio, so keeping it from being seen is what im after.

The place with the best rep here in charlotte is called lightning mikes. I called them today, they quoted me 270 for a full tint and vinyal strip acorss the "dot matrix" on my back window. HOWEVER, they quit carrying 20%...........he said the only percentage below 35% that he carries now is 15 and 5. I am defently not doing 5, people have to be out of their mind to do that!! however, would 15 be bareable?

please give me all of your advice!!! good advice, bad advice, and anything that I should look out for. I am a total perfectionist and have done evey install on my car my self. Its really taking it out of me to let someone else work on my baby.

If you are THAT worried about your system, go to a shop that has experience in safety/security film and have either 4 or 6 mil PROPERLY applied, then tint. Also, turn off your stereo a mile or so before you get home. Most stolen stereos are taken by someone you know. The security film will not keep them out, but it will slow them down ALOT!!! No thief is gonna sit there bashing a window that won't just fall out. :thumb:drunk

The medical exemption thing would be a lot less of a price than a ticket, but I feel that I would be abusing the system if I did that.............

What is everyone elses take on it? and how do you go about doing it?

Help me understand this.......You want some one to illegally tint your vehicle, you want to operate said vehicle on the road knowing it's not in compliance with state law, and yet you are worried about abusing the system? :beer:beer WTF, dude? Asking asinine questions like this is an abuse of this/our system IMHO!!! :lol2 (Could be wrong tho... It's happened before.)

"I am a total perfectionist and have done evey install on my car my self. Its really taking it out of me to let someone else work on my baby." Dude, I hate to be the one who breaks this to ya, but your "baby" is almost 10 years old!!

"overprotective car maniac" translation = "Aynal retentive prick"

too dark looks cheesy, also ugly people drive behind 5%

That's exactly why I got the darker. I'm so ugly, it isn't even funny. But, ugly people need nice rides too. :twocents
