Post pictures, sounds, and VIDEOS of your 3800 or Northstar powered Bonnie/Grand Prix(H & W Body ),Buick( H & C Body ) or Oldsmobile( H,C,G & W Body ) here. We want to see 'em! (Any picture or video files must be posted on a server somewhere to be linked here). Also post pics of Regional or National meets. THERE IS A 25-PIC LIMIT PER PAGE IN THIS FORUM. ADDITIONAL PICS MUST BE LINKS TO AN ALBUM OR TO INDIVIDUAL PICS. Meets are exempt from this restriction.
went with 50%, the max limit in MN. I got it done at sun control of MN, they did a great job and got me a competitive price. Only took them a couple hours, and there are still some bubbles and hazyness, but it should go away. Overall i'm impressed.
I have mixed feelings about the percentage though. It looks dark from a high angle, or only looking through one window at the interior (because my interior is dark) but from some angles it looks pretty light.
fairly dark looking:
(was trying to compare it to the windshield)
lightish

I would have been happier with 35 as far as looks go, but i didnt want to hassle with cops.
no, their regular prices don't include the sunroof. I think i might remove it and try throwing on a sheet of cheap stuff myself.
you guys are SO lucky to have even a tint percentage that is permissable by law. I wish we wisened up down here in Illinois to do the same. NO tint is allowed down here (on drivers and front passeneger side windows only). The rear passeneger and back windows can go as dark as you want. (last time I checked).
Our laws say 50% on the fronts and 35% on the rears are the limit. I don't like two-tone tint look. So 50% is the darkest I would go if I did it. But I'm unsure if it's worth it for just 50%.
Looks decent enough though. The car is lookin good as always though.
Looks good: Haro just generated revenue for the cops...that's why they targeted him lol
I've run 35% tint on my Bonneville before and been pulled over twice for other reasons and they didn't mention anything about the tint. (tint laws is the same as Booze)
Looks great Ryan!! I can't wait till I get my car tinted.

It's very strange in MN. If you have a van, truck or SUV, the rear can be painted black if you want, but the front is still 50%. My Tahoe had something like 20% factory rear. I never did the fronts, but it would have looked great with 35 or 50.
I think my Bonnie has 35% in the rear and the fronts arent done at all. I need to get it redone though because theres a cut in the rer drivers side and a scratch in the back. I might do 35 all around and deal with the attention. I think what most people are missing is that the cops are attracted to bad driving habits as well as "youthful" addons like pnp hid kits, stickers all over and whatever else. I don't think many people get targeted based solely on the tint on the windows. I might just do 50 in front to avoid the hassle, it looks quite good.

A lot of cops in my area give tint tickets, and even slash tint, so it has to be removed. I don't want the hassle in any case, so I'm going w/ 50% tint. That way, if a cop wants to be a jerk, I can show him what's up.

Sorry to burst your bubble ed, but 50% will meter out illegal, more like 45-49. There is a small amount of factory Tint. I am just not worried about being stopped with 50 because it looks pretty light.
Oh, lol. I agree, that light of tint won't attract attention, vs 35% or darker.
