Window Tint Question - 2013 Elantra GLS Sedan Options

[benman]

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I got mine done for $160, but that's because I had a Groupon -- otherwise it would have been about $250.

I had 20% done in the back and 35% on the sides. What you're talking about would be slightly darker. It should look great.

Agreed, that's a great deal. I paid $250 (wish I'd thought to see if there was a groupon!).

The more I think about this I think I want all the side windows to be uniform (same degree of tint) so if 28% is the limit for the front side windows then that is what I would use for the rear seat side windows as well but that still may be on the dark side but I guess I will see when I take the car in next week.

15% on the back window is OK but I am also thinking of doing everything at 28-30%. I have the Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror and I wouldn't want the back window so dark as to render the Auto-Dimming Mirror inoperable.

Anybody here with tinted back window and Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror?

[Nymeria]

I have both, and I haven't noticed any issues, however my tint is only 50%.

I also wanted my side windows to be uniform. I'm glad I did it that way (though unfortunately it means I had to stick to 50%). I do wish I'd gone a little darker in the back, though. I think 28 sides/15 back will look great.

[benman]

I have auto dimming mirror and it's fine. Agreed sides the same. Thought that's what you planned and only rear window lower. That's what I did.

[Vinnie]

One factor is to try to stay within your states legal limits.

[SunState]

At this point I am leaning towards 28% for everything, all side windows as well as the back.

I am sure glad I went through this exercise ahead of time. My appointment is for next Tuesday afternoon.

Thanks Again for all the replies, suggestions and comments.
