Hey guys just thought i'd post this in case anyone is trying to decide what they may want. Front two are tinted with Wincos 30% and quarters and rear with Wincos 20%. The windshield is LLumar air 80. I'm really impressed. Everything cost me $540 but its an investment... I only want to tint this car once. Lifetime warranty for everything nationwide. My main goal was just to keep the car cool, i live in san antonio tx where the temp can be well into the 100's. i believe the heat rejection for wincos is 92% so i hope this will do the trick. Almost went with 3M color stable but i believe the wincos was a better choice.

 

Looks really nice! Amazing how much a little tint can change the appearance of a vehicle!

 

Looks great

 

Great minds think alike.


Did mine on Monday morning with 3M FX (15%). Going back in two weeks to have the windshield done in 3M Crystaline 40%.

 

Looks nice! I moved out of SA because of the heat. I feel ya.

 

Always liked how tint looks on white cars. Looks great!

 

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Xedes, i think it's the windshield tint that helps the most, your car looks great btw.

 

Nice Steed, the tint looks good.

 

Looking great and sounds like you got a fair price there.

Lmao, very nice sir

 

Nice!

 

My favorite white car Next to sturdy. Love it glen.

 

There are collateral consequence to excessive tinting. If you travel to another state, like NC, and a trooper cannot see you distinctly through your glass, you will get pulled. They will worry about the optics testing later. All he needs is probable cause and you have given it to him based upon his percecption of the window optics. The trooper will then look you, your car and your passengers over very carefully for any violations. A typical example may be just an open container of an alcoholoc beverage being in the passenger compartment. Now some people will say thay do not care, but in truth, most do not really want to be pulled over and examined in this way.

 

I have a "prescription" for my window tint lol, haven't had any issues!

Also, OP, did you have moleskin installed to prevent scratches? I recommend it for 05-09s...idk about 2010+

Thanks alot man!!

No i didnt get the moleskin installed im not very familiar with it..

 

Glen looks great. I still have a soft spot for white cars.

 

Nice!! I get mine done tomorrow morning

 

Looks good.


As for the Wincos, I've had it on my 2012 since just after I bought it. 30% on sides, 20% on rear and quarters.

The Wincos definitely delivers. If you park your car in the sun it's still going to get hot, but with the AC running it will cool down faster and get significantly colder than withou the Wincos. It's a difference you can feel as soon as the sun shines directly in a window on to your arm. You can feel your arm baking without the tint, and with the tint you can't even tell the sun is shining on it.

In my car I'm cycling the AC rather than leaving it on all of the time. I'll run it for 2-3 minutes and then drive for 5-10 minutes before the car interior heats up enough to need it again. It's **** but it saves gas.

I live just north of Dallas so I'm experiencing the same conditions as you. Trust me, the Wincos works as advertized.

 

Man im so glad you chimed in on this! I havent gotten a chance to test it out yet. Hopefully my ac wont have to work as hard to cool my interior. Glad to hear i picked the right stuff! I almost went with huper optik but didnt really care for the reflective finish
