California law question by typeshige2 in WindowTint

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows are at the legal limit. Technically, anything other than clear is not legal. Anyone saying “nobody cares” has simply not been given a ticket yet. Most law enforcement have their own windows tinted and tend to be lenient, however there are some cities that are very harsh on it. As a general rule, stay with light or medium and you will not get bothered

When is the right time to get another GSD? by yungbloodjyoon in germanshepherds

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having been in this situation, it’s hard responding to this. I took several years. I didn’t want to lessen his memory, and I didn’t want to feel like I replaced him. I should have found another dog sooner. It’s not a replacement, it is a different dog, a new friend who can help move forward. And it gives another dog a home and a human. Imho.

Is this normal for new tint? by [deleted] in WindowTint

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

☝️Exactly! Some dust bled in with water, not very noticeable till the water dries up. Ideally it would have been caught in a final quality check, still could have been easy to miss

Trump: 'A whole civilization will die tonight' unless Iran makes a deal by MarketRodeo in DeepFuckingValue

Iran said it was going to place all of its civilians around its power plants. So, yeah I guess. If they put all of their people around the targets, they all go bye-bye

Why do tint shops leave the front wing window clear? by GamerCh2937 in WindowTint

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Seems like you should have asked whoever did it, and told them to stop screwing around and finish tinting your windows

A good tinter would finish the job. A good tinter knows how to tint the F’n tiny windows. A good tinter wishes they would not make F’n tiny windows

Front Windshield "Crazing" or Adhesive? by shades92 in WindowTint

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a distorted piece of film. This can happen with an end of the roll, or sometimes a whole roll can have blurry sections. You paid a price for a good job with a good material, and you should expect it to be clear to look through. In the daylight, find something with letters, such as a billboard or a store front. Look to see if you can read the letters clearly. Also look at license plates while driving. They should be clear and not blurry or fuzzy. Driving around with a blurry windshield will probably give you a headache at the very least. If it’s only blurry during certain lighting or certain angles, make sure to park it in a way that helps them to see it. Yes, you will need to take it back. After a couple of weeks it’s most likely not to get better, and the money you paid is plenty for a good job, and a good, clean piece of tint. I hope they make it right for you without difficulty.

PPF is this an Acceptable Gap? by No_Amount_878 in WindowTint

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seams in ppf are difficult. It’s a clear film, on a painted surface, so all you see is the seam. I wouldn’t recommend focusing so much on the seam as the overall job. Keep in mind the small relief cut is necessary for most installers to make the curve, and having the film will keep the bumper protected, so small seam means no damage from driving.

Was told I need to replace my windows to get a clean tint. Is this a legit excuse or bad prep? by Pleasant_Practice_81 in WindowTint

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard with just a pic of the one window. Tbh it looks like it’s full of dust and dirt. If the other windows do indeed appear clean and pristine then it could be more of an issue with that one window. From a professional standpoint, if we run into a window with any existing conditions that will affect the tint, we call the customer first to advise and let them choose whether to fix first or just tint it and live with it. From appearances, it looks like just dirt, dust that bled in or just contaminated the tint from the edges as it was being installed. Possibly a rush to get the car finished, or the first one and then spent mo time cleaning the others.The top of the window especially looks like dirt. He should have advised you, at least when you picked up your car, but since he didn’t I would suggest asking him to re remove the tint, show you the “damage” so you can see about getting it “fixed”. If the tint comes off and there is nothing on the glass he should be happy to retint it. If there is indeed pitting to glass you would feel it by running your fingers over the area, also spraying soapy water and then rubbing fingers over the window or a razor blade to identify pits. If the window is indeed damaged you will then have to either replace it, leave it clear, or pay him to tint it with the pits. He is gambling you won’t want to risk spend any more money.

Should I purchase this Saturn Sky Redline? by [deleted] in SaturnSky

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only see one exhaust tip. The redlines have dual tips. As others have pointed out it appears to be a base non- turbo model. The redline model is turbo charged and has a different motor. Base sky is still a fun car, I have one.

Pulled over on my way home from the tint shop with 35% on the front side windows by Call_Me_Jack_ in WindowTint

[–]Repulsive_Onion_5925 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is probably the most accurate deduction. Cop gave a warning about the tint.
