CAT got windows tinted...
« on: 01 June 2011, 00:33:31 »
...well I do now... 35% all around, legal according to my states laws...
I never thought I would like something such as tints so much, they always looked cheezy to me but the guy did an outstanding job and it looks like it came this way from the factory...

I also notice lowered interior pictures and less heat felt on the skin when the sun shines through, comparing to what comes in through the front windshield...
99% UV Block too.
No metal particles in the tint to harm cell phone reception or GPS.

Dual layer also provides protection against shattered windows.


It even retains some of that green tint when sun light hits it...


Here is how dark the tint is looking through it...


But combine all windows together and here is the result...

Nice! Does look factory...

Legal in Illinois now?  My last car with tint was a Scirocco 16V and I got 2 tickets for tint...one in Chicago and one in Schaumburg :'(

Best,

Marvin

Yep law passed sometimes last year allowing all around tint including front windows at a maximum limit of 35%... however if you tint the rears more then 35% the fronts can be a maximum of 50%.

Also factory rear tints like minivans allows front windows to only be tinted 50%. 

I checked on the law before I went and got it.   And that is for IL not sure if on top of that say Chicago or Schamburg will have additional limitations but if you dont live in those cities I dont see a reason why you should follow their laws... you follow the laws of the area you live in.

So far no issues, and the more i look the more cars I see with the same tint levels.  Some look darker due to dark interiors.
