Window Tinting Costs?

[newtohobby]

What price would I expect for a 2015 honda civic sendan, should I wait till its warmer or can I get it done now. Would a sunroof get tinted also?

I see on ebay you get get pre cup pieces for 40 bucks, how hard is it to do yourself?

There are 2 popular workshops that do this. One is Auto Links. The other slipped my mind.

Just don't tint the driver's and passenger side windows. Not only is it against the law but it makes it difficult for other motorists and pedestrians to know if they've made eye contact with you. If I was a cop I'd ticket every every driver who did that.

I think you can but what to a certain degree of darkness. Yet many overdo it and one wonders how they get away with it.

I have put it on in the past....and will never do it again. Very difficult to do.

Remember you won't be able to open the windows for 2-3 days after they install it, and only clean them with soapy water.....

The problem is its simply a judgement call by a traffic cop as to what is too much.

You are right - at the mercy of the sunshine cops.

The regulations vary from province to province.

And the cop actually need to know the law. A friend told me he was stopped at a seat belt checkpoint, the cop said he had to stop him because he couldn't see into the car to see if the driver was wearing his seat belt. My friend should have received a ticket but I suspect the cop didn't know the law.

Not a 100% sure but they can probably give you a ticket if it's anything other than factory tint. Having said that, if you get a ticket you're welcome to fight it but I'm sure all the cop has to say is he couldn't see the driver's face through the driver's window. You're not likely to bring the window into court as evidence so it's your word against his. I would think it would have to be a pretty dark tint to warrant a ticket though.

A cop doesn't have to give you a ticket for not wearing a seat belt, tinted windows, speeding or just about anything else. It's up to the officer's discretion. In your friend's case it was likely a seat belt blitz so they let other things go.

I got a speeding ticket many years ago. When the cop pulled me over and asked for my licence, I said want to see my ownership and insurance? But he wasn't interested. Just writing speeding tickets that day I guess.

Mine are done....on the current and last car.

My front windows are one level darker than legal, and so far I've been ok.
