Well I went and got my windows tinted yesterday and took the advice to use Llumar. I have to say I am very dissapointed... The Llumar tint has a green tinge to it and does not match at all the factory at all.The warranty is great on Llumar however I didnt buy it for the warranty. Y'all must be colorblind or something.

Madico windowfilm is what we used when we did one window repairs, in case of a break in, and their other tint was purple. It was pretty 'blue' from the get go.

If your film has a green tint it sounds like they used SunGard and not LLUMAR. They didnt use ATR, even if it was llumar. The ATR is charcoal, not green. The only 'greenish' film I have seen is SunGard, that is the one that was 3% light transmission. It was dark. But had the greenish tint, kind of like old Ray Bans. I would take it back. Just let them know that you didnt get what you paid for. A reputable shop will replace it. If they insist it is llumar, then ask to see the box, and compare whats in it to your windows.

I called the tint shop and told them I was not too happy with the tint. They said they only use Llumar ATR and ATX. I asked if ATX had a green tint to it and they said no. They said they are a smoke and a charcoal color. At any rate, I am going back there this Saturday to compare. They said ATR was placed on mine so I dunno, I will ask to look at the box.

I hate you all, upstate NY we cant have "ANY" tint on the front window. When you get pulled over and the cop wants to be an ***, he can say peel the tint off right here and now or we tow the car.

This is right from the NYS DMV website...

Section 375 (12-a) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law does not allow a windshield or front side windows that are dark. The windshield and front side windows cannot block more than 30% of the light. Seventy percent or more of the light from the outside must pass through the window[/b]. This law also applies to the rear window[/b] unless the vehicle has outside rear-view mirrors on both sides. The mirrors must give the driver a full and clear view behind the vehicle.

So go get some, you just don't have to push your luck like some of us choose to do..
