I'm looking to tint my GTP's windows someday. Any suggestions on the best brand/type of tint for the money? I'm not looking to spend a whole lot, but then again I don't want to be cheap and get cruddy tint.

Get the metalized tint, don't bother wasting your money with the dyed tint.

If you're having it done professionally, they'll know.
Dyed tint has a blue/purple look to it.
Metalized gives off more of a reflection.

M3 tint is the best quality. The best tint job is gettin the tint one shade below legal. Cops will never know, and it looks great thumbsup .

Unless they use a testing device which some cops carry...

i think you have to remove the backseat to get it out. take the seat out and then take the speaker thing off. it's amazing how many times i've read about taking the backseat out and i can never remember!

Check your local laws for the level of darkness of the tint.

dont spend a lot on it if its illegal, here in michigan its illegal to have ANY tint on your front windows except 4inches down from the top (STUPID). and one of my friends got pulled over with 20% on, and the cop said he could either peel it off right now orget a ticket and have to come back and prove that he took it off later, needless to say he spend 180 bucks on a tint job to have an oink make him scrap it devileek banghead

The guy I bought my car from was a Cop in San Antonio and he had some really good tint on the windows. Its dark on the outside but you can see easily threw it from the inside. I guess he got the hookup on tint since he was a cop haha. darthvader

PA is very similar to MI but we can have "stock" tint so if you buy your car with it done its legal thats why ive noticed a few of my friends had the dealership put tint on before it left without it..but i have noticed its more upon the cop and weather he "needs" the ticket/pull over or weather your doing somthing stupid to draw attention to yourself..i kno cops personally that have their trucks done and have gone buy more state cops than you could shake a stick at with window tint and a disturbingly loud system but havnt gotten pulled over yet...
