tinted windows

Music city window Tinting did an awesome job on my windows. in and out in 15 minutes:




this is the car they were doing after mine:

Even though my tt has tint, i would prefer that it didn't. Although Dark tint will save the interior if the car sits in the sun often. I will eventually take it off the side windows.

In California, you are very limited to how dark the driver and passenger windows can be. Must allow at least 70% transmission

Basically, a cop need to be able to see inside the car

Since our Box is only taken out on days we can put the top down, (and so far the car has not seen rain since we bought it) we decided to skip the tinting process.

(although I have ALWAYS tinted every other car I owned)

My '07 Cayman S was dark green with very dark tint and looked GREAT!!

same here in TN. actually have a certificate from the shop that says it is legal.

this film is a new carbon fiber nano tek film. legal amount of light, but blocks more heat.

this is my daily car and no covered parking at my work, so it helps with the heat on these 90+ days. with the tinted windows and the sunshade in the windshield, it is not hot at all in the car, even after sitting for hours in the sun.

This windows look really dark, maybe its just the pic

yeah, it looks really dark in the pic, not very dark at all from the inside or from the outside in the daylight.

my certificate may be worthless as well, but supposedly all their film is legal. Music City Window Tint is a high end shop, if you buy a Porsche from the nearby dealer and ask for the window to be tinted, that is where they take it.... for a nice little markup on the price i'm sure.
So I fell pretty confident it is legal. besides, if I am driving, 90% of the time the top is down.

cool

Top down is the only way to go
Easy for me as in San Diego it almost never rains :dance:

I had tint on my windows when I got my car. Looks kinda goofy to me with the top down and windows up on the freeway to keep the wind blowing in the cockpit, so I removed it.

I don't have to park in the sun every day though. That would be different!
