Windows tinted

Well I finally had the windows on the SVX tinted. They ended up costing $300. I went with a 28% film.

I wonder how much of a pain in the ass it is to tint the SVX opposed to other cars.

That looks lighter than 28%.

I also have 28% on my car and it looks darker.

A big one

considering I had to take mine to about 4 places before I found one who would do it. Only charged me $200, they didn't know what they were in for though...

It's 28 but the sun was shining on it and it looks lighter. It normally looks darker but I think the sun shining through makes it look lighter. The guy that tinted it has done a few before and it still took him about 3.5 hours. He said his first one took him over 5 hours. He also said it was tough because of the compound curves in the windows.

the color of the interior makes a huge difference in how dark the tint looks, i have beige interior and have 5% in the back and 15% in the front, i judged this off a car with black interior which was a mistake on my part, i am going to get 5% put on the front asap, the svx really is not that big of a pain just more windows the only hard part in the tint process is removing the old stuff (if applicable) i got charged 180 for removing all my old tint (6 hr process, checked in multiple times to make sure they were working) and about 2-3 hours to put the new tint on

6 hours to remove tint!?!

I've seen it done in 5 minutes...residue and all.
