Pics of Tint done by Ralph in McKinney TX

I had my windows tinted last Tuesday. Finally got to taking some pictures. Front windows are 35% and the back and side are 10% Also, this tint is a lot darker than what you've gotten done at the dealer where they charge you about $300.









If you like to have yours done he operates in his own garage in McKinney. He's his contact info. 972.333.3079

Cost less than $150. Sorry he told me not to disclose exact cost as I got a neighborhood discount since I live a few blocks from his house.

Me No Get It

Okay, bear with me boys, perhaps tinted windows for guys is like shoes for women (gross generalization, I realize), but why? So you can look like a junior thug? Maybe because I am in So Cal all I think of is the dealers and other unsavories with their dark windows**enlightenment, please (any reason other than sun relief?)

No, if you lived in the Texas summer sun you would tint your car too

be careful. it's actually illegal to have any tint on the driver and passenger windows in the state of CA. i still do it, i just go with a really light tint. blackout in CA will get you a ticket crazy fast.

Nah, I don't think I could do it. Not my style. But thanks for the warning, bmx43. My mom was pulled over in her POS Saturn a few years ago. The officer told her she had more than 15% tint. They were stock windows! And while he shook my mom down about her windows, somewhere in the distance, a donut shop was being held up at gunpoint

Yeah it gets quite hot in Texas during the summer time. When I lived in Seattle I've never had any of my cars tinted. But here is sorta a must especially when the car is parked outside for the entire day.
