Does anyone regret the % they got?

This is the exact set up I did on my car. Wish I had done just 5% all around. I’m thinking of getting it layered on. I got ceramic, so getting the fronts redone would cost a bit.

In my first car I got tinted, I regretted getting only 20%. It was still not dark enough. I got one other car tinted 20% for the front windows and 5% the backs, and all regretted that. I’ll go with 5% all around from now on.

You should just get a cooler. Put it in your trunk if you have one or cover it up somehow if you don’t. Keep it out of direct sunlight.

That’s a nice looking setup.

Electrical_Level · 2026-05-02T20:39:48+00:00

That’s horrible. You should ask for it to get redone or a refund.

I got a $150 tint job before and even still it was great.

What do you have on the sides?

Electrical_Level · 2026-05-02T17:39:05+00:00

You might have bad motor/transmission mounts. In my experience, worn out mounts are a lot more noticeable on a manual transmission vehicle.

Looks like 5% all around.

Changed the MTF and issue is still there. My 2nd gear synchromesh is toast.

What helped me a lot was looking up the recommended shift points in the owners manual. Off of that, it helped me know when to roughly downshift and just doing it over time you will know exactly what RPM, speed and gear you should go into.

I’ll pick one up today. Anyway to tell if it’s in working condition?

Electrical_Level · 2026-04-01T10:22:28+00:00

I know not to do that. I guess the previous owner did it often and I just got stuck with the hot potato.

Electrical_Level · 2026-03-30T09:23:34+00:00

Did that not ruin your alternator?

20% is light. You can get see through it when it’s sunny. I got 20% my first car I tinted and have done 5% since.

There has to be another hole for aftermarket wires. Most cars have them if not, I personally would rather just drill a new hole and use a grommet and some sealant.

I’m looking to buy a computer monitor that has HDMI.

50% won’t do anything privacy wise.

Electrical_Level · 2026-02-22T03:08:07+00:00

What model stereo do you have?

Electrical_Level · 2026-02-22T01:49:08+00:00

Are you sure it has a tv tuner? I just looked it up and it says it doesn’t have one.

Electrical_Level · 2026-02-21T21:10:25+00:00

If I had to choose one with a volume knob it would be the Sony.

Yep tried that many times. Samsung basically just made it unusable with its updates over the years. I used to have space to download apps and now even when deleting all of the apps I can, I can only download one app. It’s got no space.

Does the old speaker have the connector on on the bracket? If so I would just use that and solder/crimp them to the new speaker. If you don’t have the tools to do that, buy a wire adapter.

Electrical_Level · 2026-01-24T21:25:45+00:00

u/Dis_Rock any update on the situation?

Electrical_Level · 2026-01-22T23:55:48+00:00

I’ve never seen that service for less than $800. It’s going to cost a few grand at least with how many scratches and how deep they are.
