Hey guys, I have noticed comparing my car to other celicas, that mine looks like it has tint. I have parked next to other toyotas, and there windows are clear an my are tinted, yet I havnt got tint and i know its not like aftermarket film, cause theres no ledge. Is there such thing as stock or factory tint??

Its also very light though, like maybe 50% or somthing stupid

mikew04 your tint is way to dark to be stock.

You think so? It doesnt seem too dark, from the inside especially... its how i got the car, so it might have had a proffesional tint job, bc it seems flawless. Oh well, not complaining, i like it smile.gif

Yeah, I've got aftermarket tint on my 94 gt which is a film, but I also have a 97 4runner limited edition with tint that looks like it's part of the window, like sun glasses!

speaking of tint, do I have to get that film kind if I'm getting my windows done? I always see it bubbling on other people's cars, so that's the last thing I want. I'd like to get mine tinted as dark as is legal but still have it look nice.

Most likely you'll get a film. Just look around, ask people who got tinted windows where they got it done. A professional shop should install it and guaruntee it from bubbling, turning purple, etc. My Prelude had the windows tinted by a good shop in Kansas City and in the 5 years or so that it had been on the car, I only noticed one like pin size bubble in the rear window from the defroster.

I know mine has the stock tint. You don't really notice when the windows are up, but if you roll it down halfway, you can see the difference.
