is You cant DO LEgal Tint ANd Survive. Even if you Follow the LAw
Why the hell not? In WA. cops CAN'T ticket you until it's 23% or darker because they allow for factory glazing in the glass. That's pretty damn acceptable compared to your states laws.
SO wut is the Point.
The point is........I've apparently got a BAD? reputation because I follow the legal limits for our state. WTF?

dude dont flip out on me, but I dont Give a sh!t if you follow the law or not. This WHole stratagem of following the law is A COmpete BS to me. I have know ppl who got stopped with with 70% tint ALl around the the Tropper rolled the windows down and looked at the top edge and gave ticket for each window becuase of the tint just being aFter Market. This whole drama of following the law and staying leagle is all Bunch of Crap you dont Follow 55 MPH when you Drive you either Go 56, or 50 you are Still Breaking the LAw. STAY LEAGLE ABOUT TINTING TO ME IS JUST BUNCH A CRAP. :rollin Ask most of the tinters Here they have done some or Little or Wut not Illeagle Tint in thier career. EVEN YOU I AM SURE OF ThAT.

Been doin' it almost 18 years.....nuff said!

Not to me.....There's a written law here that I can get up to a $1500 fine and jail time for installing film that doesn't meet legal specs. I've been threatened by troopers for it. I'm not about to risk a $1500 fine for a $150 tintjob on some jackasses car I'll never see again.

you dont Follow 55 MPH when you Drive you either

That's for damn sure.......I drive an RX-8. :inot It can't go 55! :poop BTW.....it's not 55 here, it's 70, except for the last mile of my drive. :rollin

dude dont flip out on me

I'm not......it's all good. We're all different...

Now here is some ignorance. I know for a fact that the "federal Law" was inacted for the visibility of the drivers to see each other. Turns out that a two lane road is about the stupidest place you can do 70mph because the other guy is also doing 70mph and your closing speed is 140mph which, unless you are superman or Dale Earnhardt Jr means you got no reaction time. Or better yet, at intersections where incoming traffic can't see out the side window. So Blade, your idea about cops seeing in ain't got no balls. Its an urban legend some lazy minded people think sounds about right. Now the Federal boys got the money, which they give to states at a rate of about $8 federal to $1 state, when the state spends the money on the Eisenhower Interstate System. Now this system gets our military to the west coast if the Chinese invade us and the East coast if it is the Germans. So to get the money, which we all know is the real effort of every politician, the state has to be in line with the federal guidlines on tint. Now here is the question for the lazy minded among you. What if the idiot federal worker that came up with these restrictions (which is 32%) is wrong about its safety function? Maybe the government ain't been wrong before?

Last week I had a city cop and a state trooper in my shop in VA at the same time. Both went illegal. The city cop at 35 on the fronts for his baby and the trooper 15 on the rear of his firebird cause he travels home at night from NE VA every chance he gets and the glare from headlights was blinding him. Illegal is illegal, but it is so easy to justify many request. The biggest trouble we see here in SW VA and Piedmont NC is making sure the inspectors pass the tint with their meters. My meter will read 30 and the inspectors 32. Or vice versa. Wish all the states would leave tint legalities to the police. JMO

      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

      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!
