Windows tinted?

[SuperGLS]

This doesn't need explanation... I hope.

Windows tinted?

[03SilverBullet]

Yes.. 20% all around.. I cant own a car without tint.

[CTele02]

35% all around... should included % in the poll..

[Vampyrate]

not yet, but soon... so for now, my vote is no

[Raydee]

35% for me......next week.

[evan938]

i had to put "no" but they will be done by HITH. maybe next week...its just a matter of doing the ported/polished IM or tint to finish blacking out the car

[templedogg]

20% on everything I own!

[03SilverBullet]

Evan with the "black" setup you have I would go with 15 or 5% ALL around.

[Hyper_knight]

Yes Limo tint all around even though its illegal it makes my car look stealthy :)

[paki]

20% all around

[bdiggy]

tints are great. 20% back,35% back doors, 50% front, a little fade up job. They look good and help w/ cars bigger than yours at night. Nothin' worse than a truck's headlight's in the rearview!

[OPZ]

Yup, 35% all around, and every car I will ever own will have tinted windows.

[evan938]

theres no way im gonna do 15 or 5%. 25 at the VERY most, but im thinking 35% just to keep it kosher w/ the cops

[ashmc84]

30% and 20%on rear window.

[02_Elantra]

no for now ... but like i've said for the past 3 summers ... "it's gonna be done by the end of THIS summer" so we'll see if this year is any different.

[ninja]

not yet, but very soon..

[Seinster]

20% all around here. :D

I got it done the first week I had the car, one of my first mods. ;)
Here is a picture of the day I got it done:

[zx2uner]

2.5% on back rear doors and quarter windows, five percent on the hatch window.

like 03silverbullet said, "I can't have a car without tint." :tongue:

[blupupher]

It's too dang hot without it. The A/C just cant keep up in the summer without it.

[FinalBreath]

18% on my gls

[mbv2001]

20 % all around

[projectx515]

20% all the way around ...still debating on the strip up front.....

[Tyburn]

tinted from the dealer.... don't know how many % they are though

[metalfetish]

20% front windows and 5% on back. looking for somewhere who will do the visor stripe at 2x legal length like my old car....

[txdproject]

[j0hnh0lmes]

Haven't gotten around to purchasing tint as of yet

[Tx_boy]

http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4832 **** mine is 5% all the way around. **** the police!!!!!!!!!!!!! In Arizona your windows and seatbelts are secondary violations so they have to pull you over for something else and than give you a ticket for that. My girl got pulled over and they did the light test and it was 5% but the cop did not give her a ticket and actually asked where she got it done and how much. She said my boyfriend got it done at the swap meet and it was $135. I think he went and got his car done. It wont let me attach the pic of my car because it is in another thread!!!!!! How can I do it.

[Elantra_GT_chic]

Mine is 35% for all door windows, and 25% for the back window. It was one of my B-Day presents!!! :D

[hyunelan2]

Can't tint front windows in IL, will look stupid 1/2 tinted - so no tint.

[txdproject]

very true about the front window thing.... did mine lighter in the front make it less appealing to cops

[CornbreadXD]

40% in front 30% in rear had to keep it just below the legal limit in the front.

Bring up your other picture, then right click your mouse and do "copy image location". Then paste the address in between the IMG tag.

also in AZ if you refuse to let them check the tint, they have to get a warrant...which means no ticket. haha

[Tx_boy]

Thanks now how do you resize it?

[05xd]

I had 35 % on the xd.

[FinalBreath]

18% all the way around baby!!

[wagonofhell]

no tint yet but soon need a clutch first

[voodoochild457]

limo tint on the back and 25% up front and i live in ill

[waif69]

I hope to have it done on the back windows as dark as I can and if I can have some tint on the front side windows, then I'll get them done too.

[hyunelan2]

I had 25% all-around (except windshield) on my Camaro, and never had a problem (1998-2002). I bought the Elantra and my dad took-on the Camaro. About 2 weeks later, my mother was pulled over and ticketed for illegal tint in the Camaro. Just goes to show, you can be lucky for a while, but can get busted without warning.

[Kens GLS]

I want mine tinted but $200+ is hard to spend when theres other things I need done first.New cai, install struts & springs ect., someday soon I hope. All my other cars that was the 1st thing I did, but I also had many tickets along the way because of it.

[Nightcrawler]

15% with some sort of plazma crap tech that makes it look like 5%. they costed me $120 w/o installation :angryfire . But its all good, it looks hot i guess thats all that matters.

[Jlivan]

17% all around!

[Haiduc]

[carchick78]

I have 20% all around with a black car which even makes it look darker.

[02gt_in_bk]

35% all around

[carchick78]

35% all around
Wow, I thought they were darker then that. Glad to see you back on here again.

[ghrpdx]

35% sides, 20% rear, 10% visor with SunTek Infinity OP reflective. Good stuff!

Car looks good :)

Is it lowered?

[ghrpdx]

^^ Thanks for the compliment! Nope, not lowered ... just rolling on 17s. Too many speedbumps in town and a screwy switchback driveway on a hill to be able to lower it.

[beeman]

No tints at all for me, always think it's too dangerous to drive at night in them

[Mr. Dan]

My car came with bloody dark tint on everything but the windshield, and it took some getting used to. I'd never tint the windshield though, that seems about as smart as wearing your sunglasses at night. :)

Its also illegal to tint the windshield.

[03SilverBullet]

Its also illegal to tint the windshield.
Yea but so many people do it that the cops around here dont bust balls, unless its DARK.

[Jlivan]

The Tib looks good Haiduc! Nice white elantra ghr!

On my last car I had 7% which I had a few probs at night. I wish I would of did the back rear window maybe 7% b/c I don't think the 17% all around is dark enough for me. I think the dark in the back really made a difference in making the front windows look darker....as what I can see from your car GHR.

[biggiejerseys]

I will tint my windows in time...so for the moment no.

[swingy007]

Not yet, but soon, all windows

[dspeedy]

i got 5% in the rear 3 windows, which i guess are the darkest, and i got 25% on the front door ones, but soon about to conver them to 5% all around except for the windshield.

[nogo2.0]

my problem is those darn little dots around the edges. If I'm going to tint it better look good and having those dot in the way makes it a major &!^(# you ethier have to mask and paint or you have to scap them off. Why are they even on there? I said yes everything else I owned I tinted. I probably take the wind shield and rear window out to do it. Until I get off my lazy butt to do it everthing stay clear. Anybody else have a better solution for these pesky dots.

[acarzt]

5% on the back 3 windows, 35% on the driver and front passenger window.

[Ugzz]

im stock :P but i want them tinted.. im thinkin 20-back 30-rear 4 (most places around me charge full window price for the tiny ones 2) 35-front 2... or maybe 30 for the back4 and rear.. not sure which will look better..
regaurdless i had to poll it at stock :P

[Ugzz]

Can i change my poll choice??

Just got 35 up front and 20 rear and back!
(my first tinted vehicle, go me!)

I called over 20 places, couldnt find a single place in pittsburgh under 190. So i had a local place do it for 200 cause ill pay the extra 10 cause there close and do good work.. of course lifetime warranty - but man i wish i coulda found it for 150 or less like some of yall lucky peeps

[fifthgear]

I voted no because I don't currently have them, wanted them previously, but now unsure.

[Goldenguy]

[Munky]

20% + Reflection halfway up.
