He drives the nicest Intrepid I've ever seen; an Inferno Red '02 SXT with beautiful chrome rims crusaders and HIDs.

[SVT_Power]

Rim = rim
Tire = rubber
Wheel = rim + rubber

For what he said, rim or wheel is the same.

that's what i thought

[Eye of the Tiger]

Apparently, I'm a little slow... but at least we are agreements.

[Soup DeVille]

I always thought the wheel was the entire metal round thing, the tire was the rubber part and the rim is just the part of the wheel outside the spokes.

That may be because that's exactly what they are.

right. good.

For the license plate thing, I'm sure you can get away with it. If you DO get pulled over for it, just tell the cops that you lost the license plate screws so it's a temp fix until you get new screws.

I came from a bike background so I know what you guys mean, but when you are talking about a single piece wheel/rim/metal - it is far easier to refer to it like I stated.

[SVT666]

Wheel = rim + rubber

No it's not.  Wheel is the metal part and tire is the rubber part.  I can't put it any simpler.

Ok, so, that looks to be a first generation LS, with the tails of off a C-215 Merc CL.

You live in Canada?

Have you ever driven a car at night with a tint that dark?

[heelntoe]

that's just plain stupid IMO.
i had a visor with 35% tint and i had trouble with it at night(i don't use that visor anymore because of that)

[TheIntrepid]

No I haven't, but I know of a whole bunch of Treps on dodgeintrepid.net that have 5% tint all around. Makes it look sharp as hell, and apparently makes a big difference.

[AKL]

Next up: 5% tint all around.

Just to tell you, that's illegal. I suggest you don't do that. The front windows can have a max of 35 percent. The rear can have whatever you pick. I suggest you go with 15%. I have 35% front windows, 15% rear windows for my Accord. At night it does get kind of hard to see with 15%. 5% is pushing it really. That means ONLY 5% of light is being let in.

And yes it does make a difference in interior temperature. My Accord gets hot less easily now.

15% is already pretty dark. You can't see much inside with 15%. It's nearly black during rainy/gloomy days.

[TheIntrepid]

Okay then. I'll go with 15% all around. Can they actually tell that its' "illegal" tint? I mean I'm already driving around without DRLs and I'm just fine.

[AKL]

Whatever you want. My suggestion is don't. I hardly see any cars out there with 15% in the front. It's easy to tell because you won't be able to see the driver, or even a silhouette of the driver.

My tint has actually been thought to be 15% all around at times due to my black interior (but only on a rainy/gloomy day)

Makes a big difference in what?  Not being able to back your car up or see around you?

Yes they can spot tint, yes they have a piece of electronics to measure it and yes they can give you a ticket for it.  Picking out tint levels is usually pretty easy by the naked eye.  They can pull you over for suspision of illegal tint.

However, it seems most cops don't care unless they are having a shitty day or bored.

Anything darker than 30% becomes hard to see especially at night.  Parking or driving around in the city can be sketchy.  Cars can hide in your blind spot really easily.

Who'd you get it done by? Any recommendations, since I'm near you?

[AKL]

Oh, and one more thing. If you're going for tint that dark you should get a pretty good place. Tint that dark only looks good when it's the colour black.

I've seen way to many bad tint jobs done. My Accord actually has some air bubbles I had to bring it back to repair some. I got the Santa Fe done for free (front windows), it was actually spotless though.

See my previous post.

Apple Auto Glass. They're pricey though. $270 for my Accord.

My friend got his 07 Camry done at some random place for $200. The cut on his rear window is uneven.

[AKL]

To give you an idea of the tint "colour" you'll get.

[Champ]

Look for a place that offers a warranty, the better shops will have lifetime warranty.  I would estimate the price to be $200-$250.

[AKL]

Yup.
Apple Autoglass has a lifetime warranty.

The Santa Fe was done by the dealer for free so I really didn't get a warranty. But I know the owner anyways so he can probably pull a few strings.

I'll give them a call. Also, check your PMs.

[AKL]

Oh and try different places. I got quoted different numbers. 290, 285, etc. They don't have a fixed number I guess.

I expect your reply to that PM

Did it go through? I'm not sure if I hit send. I'll try again.

Got it and replied.

[SVT666]

Trep, I suggest you check the Ontario laws regarding tint because out here in Alberta and BC you can have whatever tint you want on all windows except the windshield and front driver and passenger door windows.  No aftermarket tint is allowed by law on those windows.
