how much is tinting just the back window and the passenger window on the 1 series in la county? vs tinting even the front driver and front passenger window???

jibaholic101 · 09-19-2009, 11:09 PM

too many factors here....type of film, shop, brand, etc.

are you looking at metallic? ceramic? what brand of tint? quality of work?

dragon1761 · 09-19-2009, 11:28 PM

just normal dark tint for sgm color car. Was thinking 30 % tint. Nothing fancy. Something that is good enough to keep some heat out of the car. Since it is illegal to tint front i was thinkin just doing the back. How much would that run?

call California Tint on Rosemead Blvd tomorrow.

jibaholic101 · 09-19-2009, 11:41 PM

do you have comfort access?

if so i would recommend doing ceramic

for the back windows and rear window in ceramic i am going to say $150-200 at least

dragon1761 · 09-20-2009, 12:36 AM

thanks for everyone's response. 1 last question, what percent tint is best, so that i can also see the rear when i drive at night as well as protective function during the day from the sun?

That guy will give you the advice you need and is the very best in the SGV.

the quote at the SGV is 120 but u get lifetime warranty. If you ask pro tint, basically 1 street up, you get it for 100 but only 5 yr warranty. That is just for basic dark tint.

what does the type of tint have to do with comfort access???

dragon1761 · 10-12-2009, 10:12 PM

ceramic tint blocks the wireless signals for people with comfort access making it useless

mrgoochio · 10-13-2009, 10:12 AM

i thought that was metallic

ghjkser · 10-14-2009, 05:49 PM

really... ceramic tent blocks the comfort access antennas that are not even in the windows. the antennas that are in the rear windows are for the remotes when physically push the button on the remote... your useless

mattssi · 10-14-2009, 09:00 PM

I paid about $200/225 for my IS350, I would hope you can get it for $150. I went to Window Tints, etc in Hollywood. I know it's really up to the installer - but the guy I had took his time and did the best job I've had as far as tinting goes. Perfect, even spacing at the top of windows, no bubbles, etc.

you mean METALLIC tint blocks the wireless signals, dont spread false info. ceramic has no metal in the film thus it does not block signals such as radar detectors, radio reception, and radar detector range or comfort access...

ghjkser · 10-15-2009, 10:52 AM

tint will not affect your comfort access not matter what type of tint it is

Jettafanatic · 10-15-2009, 12:31 PM

Nik's window tinting in Santa Monica on Lincoln Blvd ( don't let the small shop fool you). Great work, lifetime warranty ( my 8 year old tint on my car is still flawless), very reasonable rates ( tell him the "Blue Ferrari guy" sent you ) with good quality tint in multiple shades.
I had 99% UV, 80 % IR tint placed. I would stick with lighter tint as the film will block UV and 80% of infrared keeping the car cooler... always nice to keep 360 degree visibility...
