Haha touchƩ

Isnā€™t it the CA prop 65 sticker or something like that? It only needs to be displayed at time of vehicle sale.

Correct. Like a mattress tag, the person who bought it can remove it (not the dealer, not a tint shop). It sounds like it wasnā€™t removed before @trismā€™s cpo bmw was tinted, so itā€™s under the tint, and probably has been there a while.

Mine comes off the day I take delivery. Iā€™m always amazed in parking lots how many people leave it on

That is the case, but unfortunately the fact remains that now Iā€™m the dildo with the tinted-over warning label that you and everyone else silently ridicules in the parking lot at the Tickled Trout.

My mom made fun of it.

I gotta take care of this.

If it makes you feel any better, if the person was too stupid to remove the sticker, they probably also didnā€™t get a good IR blocking tint, so itā€™s a good chance to do it right.

Honestly, the car is in such perfect condition it looks like the previous owner kept it in bubble wrap, so I was willing to overlook this reversible atrocity. Now I just need to do the reversing part.

I appreciate the comments from everyone.

If you leave it on, people will assume your 3-yr old dented Cruze is a brand new car.

Now now, you know the rules here. No mystery cars, I want to visualize what you got. Tell us the deets.

In all seriousness, Iā€™m actually shocked by how many people donā€™t realize you CAN remove the sticker; many assume it has to stay on the car for some unbeknownst reason. The mattress tag analogy was perfect. I bet the majority of mattress holders (mattressees?) still have their tags. Heck, I donā€™t know for sure I removed mineā€¦

  1. America needs secret police
  2. To collect these people when they bring their years-old car in for service

But people like me, who leave the protective plastic on as long as possible: totes normal

Okay I am need of a window tint on my car. Most places quoted me around $400-$550 for ceramic tint for all the windows except windshield and sunroof. Some were Madico, Rayno, Xpel, Sun Guard, etc.

Why is it so hard to pick a place haha
The place my friend recommended me was a closer shop and does Rayno. He quoted me $420 for S5 all sides. Seems like everyone else is getting a lot cheaper.

Thoughts? Thanks

Maybe I missed something butā€¦ in what geographic area are you looking?

Sorry Southern California (Orange county)

Iā€™m not a fan of Rayno. While it has some comparable specs on paper, the green hue the tint has and lack of a proper front windshield tint is a negative for me. But if you were to go with this, Iā€™d recommend going to S7 at least, if not S9.

See my post back in October (wow times files) for some more comments regarding different tints.

Btw what car are you tinting?
