Default I need to get my car windows tinted.

I've installed clear bras before, so I think I can tackle a window tint. For those who've moved to AZ and gotten their windows tinted, what percentage tint did you use? What's legal here? I know it's kind of strict in VA and some other states, but assume it's all good in AZ. Every car I see has tinted windows. Any suggestions on the best kit or source out there?

I just had it done. Cost was $200. Suv and legal but you can do illegal and get away with it. They did 30 in the front and 20 all around the others. In AZ 20 in front is not legal, but they may be working on changing the law. Message me for the name of the place. I like it. Cooler already!!!

Since we are on the subject, I highly recommend getting the ceramic tint. It's expensive ($300-$400) but well worth the money in my opinion. Your car definitely stays cooler and you use less AC. It's healthy because it blocks out UVA and B. Most of drive for fairly long durations here which is my main reason for recommending it. My wifes' left shoulder was scarred from sun damage prior to getting the tint. Dannys Family Car Wash and some other guy in Tempe were the only people who did it at the time.

I desperately need to get my car tinted also. I have a Honda Accord 2 door coupe and was going to take it to Honda but they wanted $250. Sounds steep to me for a small car, the deal with Visual Effects seems much better.

Visual Effects' # is (480) 704-4041. Chris, the owner, came out to my place. If you talk to him, tell him the guy with the white Mini and BMW bike from Friday referred you. I was tempted to DIY this job, but after watching Chris do it, I'm glad I didn't. And my wife's Mini looks far easier than my other cars.
