Hey everyone, i'm thinking about tinting my windows...whats the CA law about tint? side windows okay? any good places in the east bay (livermore)?

 

Side window tinting is illegal in CA, but I have it. I had the sides tinted to 50% visibility, so it's really light that it doesn't seem to be tinited.

Best place in the East Bay:
Omega Tintwerks, Pleasanton (MY350Z Forums Club Discounts) 925.227.1322 (Vince)

 

Cool, thanks....also anyone care to post some pics??? preferably a DB???

 

Yup... OMEGA is the place to be... and you gett free consultation too... whether it be in LIFE or CA. DRIVING LAWS or RACISM... Vince @ OMEGA TINTWERKS has all the answers...

 

Boy...can Vincent talk..but great guy and excellent work.

CA Law allows:
4" strip on windshield (any %)
Front side windows...70% and cannot increase reflectivity
Back sides and rear can be any %

 

Bill, the chick in your avitar reminds me of the scary chick in The Grudge(something about the way her hair is like that). I'm having flash backs.

 

This is 35% Titanium tint all around (sides and rear)

 

Bill, whoever she is... she is HOTTTTTTTT

 

Can't say since I never saw the movie. And here I thought you were a tough chick

 

Get it right Bill, she's not a tough chick, she's a tough BIOTCHHH!! J/K Anna Banana !!

 

You're safe living down there where she can't get to you easily

 

 

Henry, her name is Yu Kizaki. I'd post a larger pic but I'd get kick off the forum

 

So is the titanium ish tint mirror like or is it dark?

Can this tint effect aftermarket alarms/radar etc?

Off late its getting really annoying having people look at you while driving.

My tint has a mirror quality to it. On cloudy days, they only look darker, but on sunny days, it is more reflective.

 

I went 50 sides and 5 on the back three

The 5 is a bit too dark though, my tip, when you are at the shop looking through the samples, put on your sunglasses and look through it. My main issues is it is hard to tell what cars have light bars on top

I have 50 on the sides & 35 on the rears. Mine is similar to Moodie's but mine is a darker gray metallic (gunmetal like tone) which matches perfectly with the SS. I wanted my rears to be darker but I also wanted it to just be slightly darker than the fronts so it'll be a subtle transition. I'm real happy with it & I think it's a perfect setup. It's hard to capture in pictures since it depends on the lighting. It is something you definitely have to see in person to really appreciate.

 

Is there a place comparable to omegatintwerks in the south bay? I live in redwood city and it'll be quite a trek for me up to pleasanton.. Installation time is loonng too

 

I got 5% on the 3 rears and 20% on the sides....Which the tint peeps said was the absolut lowest you can go.

I've been pulled over 3 times (2 for no reason at all, 1 for a ticket) and nothing was said about my tint.

My tint was done in San Bruno which isn't to far from you. I'm at work though so I don't have the info. PM me and I can get it to you....

 

I've never been pulled for my 50% in front and 5% in back 3. Personally I just don't want to deal with getting pulled over for no reason at all.
