Wanting to get rear windows tinted

[22ssingh]

I want to get the rear windows tinted, but can't see how anyone will be able to tint the plastic bit where the door opens, anyone got it done?

I havent had mine done yet, but will so soon. I read some where on here that you just use that vinyl wrap stuff, which is the only way

wouldn't that give you a different finish to the tints?

 

[paul7619]

I guess so. But from what i read, as i havent done this yet that seems to be the only way. maybe someone knows a better way. How much darker are you thinking of going?

Really? I'm looking for the darkest , like a limo tint

So you be alright if you going for limo tint with black vinyl. I recon you would'nt tell any difference between the two as your going for that. Should look fantastic. Have you had other cars tinted before, as they are quite dangous for you and other road going users, as it lets no light in and you dont know they are behind you, in daytime and night time. I know you got your side mirrors to look at but i found it was like driving a van with no back window, takes a bit of getting used too. Im still going to do it cause it looks awersome

HIDS and now very dark tints ey? Your cars slowly becoming a police magnet

IMO i think the darkest tint legally allowed is actually ok and looks good enough.

My old leon was factory tinted, and wasn't a problem at all, this is my 2nd car so I've not had any experience with after market tints, but I don't think it should be much of a problem mate

I have hids in projectors so the police shouldn't come near me the only problem will be when it's mot time, but then il switch the hids out

U can notice the difference, bit it's acceptable I guess, looking nice. How much did you pay for you rear limo tints? I got a quote of £160 for a mobile tint which would be performed on my driveway

If you put the vinyl behind the window rather than over it will look a lot closer to the tints. You'll get the shine of the glass (plastic) that way.

Very good idea, but probably would be difficult doing the vinyl whilst inside the car

Fair enough mate. It says £120 for medium, so I guess £160 is a bot much, but I'm in Kent so it will be too far to travel

 

[22ssingh]

Just got a good quote for tinting near me, guy said he will do limo tints on the rears and anything I want on the quarter, so needed a bit of advice really, should I get him to put Matt black vinyl on the outside so it shows, or on the inside so it just looks black, what will suit my car more?

Standard window tints on the back plastic come out a purple colour and doesn't match the windows at all. Vynl wrap on the other hand is a very clever idea

so true,you will certainly increase the chance of being stopped & remember pass and driver windows have to be lighter otherwise the plod could issue a MOT retest relating to the visability

i am thinking of tinting, any pics of completed projects ?
