Nope. MN law for cars applies to ALL windows. The only cars that come with the rear windows tinted from the factory are cars designated as limos or towncars. Vans/trucks/SUVs have no limits for the rear windows. Also, under MN state law, you may not have the windshield tinted at all except for a sun strip that goes no lower than the stock strip.

Name and car please!

Please guys, if you want to be added to the list I need your name, exact car, and tint darkness if you already know what you want. This will help keep things better organized and the shop better prepared.

You are correct I didn't see the part about cars specifically that you were talking about. I found a link with the law.

Clik here for the TINT LAW LINK.

I demand that you say only 1 weekend works for you, and it must be a weekend that nobody else has mentioned as working for them yet!!!

THanks man.
How much would it be for the hatch in my talon, i just need the old stuff removed and the new stuff put on that window only. I think i would do 10%

Just a rough guess but I bet they could remove the old hatch tint and replace it for about $100.

Yeah that 3M Black Chrome stuff I got is awesome but it is a lot more expensive generally than the normal stuff; and yes it is way darker than the normal 35%. I got pulled over for mine already and the 35% stuff that I have read at 17% on his reader. He didn't give me a ticket but I am contimplating taking it off my side windows for sure. The thing is I really don't care a lot about how it looks, its so nice in the summer with the black car and black leather seats, it really cools the car down a lot. That tint law is bullshit.

How is it bullshit? It's more of a safety thing for law enforcement. Police offiicers sure like to know if someone is moving around in their car when stopped, or how many occupants are inside... cause ya know, who cares if someone pulls a gun out.

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
On another note, I'd be up for this depending on date, and who is actually doing the tint.

Halon 02-19-2008 01:59 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
I'm in, pending that I'm home in time to make it. I'd get both cars done, but chances are the talon will still be down by the time this goes down.

One question, is there a percent tint in between 35 and 50? And does anyone have pics of a car done in 50%?

Brandon / 2006 Saab 9-3 / % undecided as of right now

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
I got 35% done from this exact same shop, and have never been pulled over yet, even with black interior and exterior. Its been over a year, still looks great.

Yup, after 1 1/2 years my S2k tint still looks great (I emailed the new owner to verify everything is still perfect).

Kracka 02-19-2008 02:32 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
I forgot that March 22/23 is Easter weekend so we're either looking at March 29/30 or April 5/6. Which weekend works better for people? you just need to be free one day since tinting will be happening all weekend.

Halon 02-19-2008 02:36 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
As of now, I should be home for both of those days (should be home 3/15, and leave for Spain again 4/7).

scheides 02-19-2008 05:10 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Either of those weekends I'll be out of town, but Anna should be around, or I'll make sure her car will be and I'll have it delivered up there for the job.

I might have 2 cars that would want some windows done. (4 doors) '06 Impala and '00 style Grand Am.

Just a heads up if you still have spots available.

Kracka 02-19-2008 06:12 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
There will be plenty of spots available, but please find out and decide sooner rather than later. I will be requiring pre-payment in full 1 week prior to the tinting date in order to avoid flakes. This is payable to me either in cash or via Paypal ($150 cash or $155 Paypal). If something major comes up and you aren't able to make it the money can be refunded to you (I am a reasonable person, I'm not trying to scare anyone off). The shop will be paid in one lump sum directly from me so this will make things much easier the day-of since they'll just need to focus on tinting cars and not collecting money.

Kracka 02-19-2008 06:32 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Films available for $150: 50, 35, 30, & 20%
Extra charge: 10 & 5%

About 10 cars can be done in one day so for right now the dates are going to be March 29th and 30th. Does this 100% for sure NOT work for anyone?

4g63tcrazy 02-19-2008 07:29 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
That will probably work for me but I think more towards april would be better. To the people that store their cars for the winter that is.. But it depends more on the weather. I'll be there either way though.

Kracka 02-19-2008 07:58 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Late March should be late enough for people to have their cars out of storage. I'd also like to have at least one weekend between the tinting and the cruise so people are able to make time to work on their cars if need be.

4g63tcrazy 02-19-2008 08:39 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Ok sounds good to me.

turbotalon1g 02-19-2008 10:38 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Don't take this the wrong way, but i was telling my brother about this and he reminded me that we paid about $20-$25 less for our 2 door cars and that was no special deal.
Are you getting hooked up from this deal at least?

2.SlowES 02-19-2008 10:50 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
How long does it usually take them to tint? ('94 TSi)

Not long, we are planning on getting through about 10 cars/day.

This is a very good price and we're only getting it because we'll practically be filling their shop for a weekend. I would not set up a group event like this if it was not a great deal, nor would I set it up if the work was anything less than terrific. Whether you decide to act on this group buy or not is your decision.

turbotalon1g 02-20-2008 08:31 AM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Ok?

Don't freak out, also pm me with who you are dealing with because i have dealt with a few tint places and they told us they would be giving us a deal only to find out there were not one bit.
I just wanted to say that i got it done for cheaper by a reputable place with lifetime warranty and its the only place that has done my cars and my friends.
Thank you for informing me about my own decisions, but like you i am trying to help people save some money, as far as i knew saving an extra $20-$25 was a good thing.

Bottom line: if i can't get the same price, i will join this deal, it is a good deal especially for the people with 4 door cars and I have seen the cars that were done and they looked great.

Also, while it is kinda sucky for me to have to question this, it is for the best of the group, i do not benefit one bit as all my cars are done and sam really doesn't care if her car is done or not.

Get me signed up. Names Han, 2G eclipse, 35% all around.

Kracka 02-20-2008 11:40 AM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
When I had my S2k done it was $130 + tax ($138.45) and Peter's M3 was $170 + tax ($181.05). Those prices were a good deal and we're beating those here by a decent amount. Keep in mind, the rear hatch glass on a DSM alone uses nearly the amount of tint film than all 3 of my S2k windows used combined. I think $150 out-the-door (tax included) is a very good price. Obviously a lot of people are interested in this deal, but if you are not b/c you think you can get a better deal elsewhere then go right ahead but please do not pollute my thread with hearsay.

A//// Guy 02-20-2008 11:58 AM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Brownman- I paid more than 150 for my 2 door, at this same place, on a special that was run for mnsc. I thought it was fair, considering we checked with some other places and they quoted more.

If you find someplace that has it cheaper, go there. Im not even the originator of this "groupbuy," and I find it kinda insulting for you to think Hughes is doing it for a cut of the profit. I highly doubt there is any profit being made.. Hughes usually goes out of his way to setup stuff for the groups benefit- Cruises, Events, Group buys.. etc.

Kracka 02-20-2008 12:01 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Nothing is going into my pocket from this and I am paying the same $150 as everybody else. I am getting zero personal gain other than having my windows tinted for only $150 just like everybody else.

2.SlowES 02-20-2008 12:03 PM

Re: MitsuStyle tint day!
 
Is there a cut off date to add people to this list? My friend is picking up another 1g and might be interested in it too...
