Does anyone have window tint pics of their Vibe? Could also let us know what % your tint is too?Thanks,Brian

it was a while ago but i think it was 15% front windows 35% back.

here's mine. specs are in my sig...

Here's mine. I have 35% up front and 5% on all the other windows except the front windshield.and here's another.Inder

I have plenty, I kinda have this obsession of taking pics of my car. The link is in my sig, any of the albums starting with, and after the '20040714' one are after the tint job... Feel free to have a look around!35% all the way around, and a small stip of 35 at the top of the windshield, ending evenly at the bottom of the dot-matrix stuff around the mirror. I could have gone darker, but I'm more than happy with what I've got.That's been the best investment in this car so far!

How dark do you plan on having it. I think that 35% up front is way too light now. I hate the fact that it's too light for my taste. But I'll get it done again next time.Inder

I was originally thinking 35% all around. But I may go 35% front and 20% rear. I just want to be able to see out the rear at night when backing up.Brian

yeah, at first, it was kinda hard to see at nite, but now i'm used to it. I dunno though. What kind of pricea are places giving you so far?Inder

I got a price of $189 from a bunch of stoner's at a hole in the wall shop and a price of $200 from a very nice performance shop called "Hyper-Tek's Area 51". That's for the whole car at any tint % and color.Brian

you guys got a place called autoameristar by ur house or no? wonderin cuz they do a very good job and they have a lifetime warranty.Inder

From what I can tell AutoAmeristar is in Michigan only. I'm in Minnesota.

Actually, to narrow it down, from what I see on their site, it's metropolitan detroit pretty much that has em.Inder

Here is mine. I have 50% front and 35% rear. I should have done 20% all the way around and that would have been perfect. But hind sight is 20/20 I guess, and I don't want to lay down another $250 to get it redone.

yeah, urs actually looked pretty fresh though. mine is like, dark as hell in the back and light up front. should went 20% on the front 2. O well. It's coo.Inder

Wow Wicked, your car is coming along nicely. Looks real good. Inder

I have 5% on the rear windows and 35% on the fronts. Here is a couple pics of mine:

Stupid question perhaps, buuuut...Lower the %, darker the tint? ie, 5% is much darker than 35%?Thanks, hjwii

Yes After seeing these pics I want tint now really bad lol...maybe I will wait until the spring.

oh man, tint is the first thing you get!! you'll get a lot less "thats a girly car" comments after you tint it!! do it now man!!

Quote, originally posted by hjwii »Stupid question perhaps, buuuut...Lower the %, darker the tint? ie, 5% is much darker than 35%?Thanks, hjwiiI think it has to do with how much light is allowed in so the darker the tint the less light comes in.. Really dark tint only allows 5% of light to come in. Something like that.

It's the amount of UV rays that can get into the car. That's exactly what it means actually.Inder

I just finally had my windows tinted on my Vibe. Ohio's tint law was 50% all around max until last year it was FINALLY modified to 50% max front windows (driver/pass) and ANY for the rest (excluding windshield).I opted for the legal limit on the front, 50% and 20% on the all the rears so I can still see out back decently at night. The 50% in front isn't too dark but not too bad compared to no tint at all. Enjoy the pics.

Looks really nice. Thats a good size garage you have. What other three cars do you own?

15% on the front doors and 5% on the rest

35% on the front passenger and driver windows and 20% on the rest.

here's one of mine, I think it's 20 in the back and 35 in the front

35% all around

DAMN YOU JERSEY!I wish I could tint.

You should ask Blue Crush where he went--he lives up in the Cities and his car looks SO awesome!

Looks like i can only go 50% for the front and 35% for rear in Wisconsin. Anyone here with that setup?? Now if there were some tint shops on this side of town... Who ever has been in charge of city development here in the greater "MADTOWN" area needs to get their heads examined!!! Guess I'll have to head over to the east side maybe elsewhere to get some quotes. So LLUMAR and 3M are the brands to look for??

Well i just got 2 quotes and they are the same $250and the legal amount sux..... I may have to go a tad darker....

zionzr2 - i think MN is 50% as well...its sorta ok looking from the pics here but not what you think of when you think "tinted" its too light. my windstar had stock tint and it was nice looking, so i wouldnt mind doing my vibe. has anyone installed their own tint, there was a online store that had precut tint for the vibe, they also make home window tint etc. ill try to find the link when i get home.
