TINT LAWS IN TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Where is the evidence that tint causes crime?

Heinz say is so... So is so

[Alpha_2nr]

Where is the evidence that tint causes crime?

possibly criminals would want to use dark tint to evade being seen as well as try to hide any weapons they have from ttps simply glancing around at vehicles. though if they usually have a stolen car it would mean stealing cars which already have dark tint vs putting it on themselves.

but we are not the only country with tint laws- the US have them as well the only difference is they always used % instead of an officer deciding if your tint too dark and we now keatch up to that.

The issue isn't the enforcement of tint laws. The issue (or at least, my issue) is the predictable knee-jerk reaction of the police to rising crime is merely more road blocks and checks for tint and fogs.

Always has been, always will be.

I called it as soon as the announcement of the "full force of the law" was brought up by the Gov't.:

What about all those high-risk areas that Chris Must List showed in his videos? And the gangs and guns shown there? Do we really think those areas should be left alone? Why?

Should those gangs not be broken up and arrested? If not, why?

Is there any chance those gangs are involved in:

- Kidnappings?

- Murders?

- Home invasions?

- Car theft and robberies?

But no - arrest the messenger and not the source.

But no - the law just wants to stand about and let "criminals" drive up to them.

But no - just target the working population who's actually keeping the country afloat. Who's keeping the economy and gas in motion. Who keeps paying taxes and keeping the powers-that-be in power.

Again, it seems to me (speculation) that the powers-that-be are fully capable of bringing crime down, and CAN do it, but are being hamstrung by "other powers" and prevented from doing so.

Easier to ticket and take advantage of drivers rather that deal with PNM ghetto youths with rented guns.

Its simple, road block PNM hot spots and profile these pest. Lock them in

No profit in real crime, prisons cost too much.
I think it cost $60 per meal for convict, so $180 food , bed about $250 per day.

Free money in Tickets.


How more stupid can the voting public be.

So after reading through this thread I decided to upgrade my tint. I previously had Suntek by Tint Nation done years ago which I never really had any issues with, but the heat levels these days warranted an upgrade.

After doing research, my choice came down to these three:

Llumar IRX (US made)
Llumar Formula One Stratos (US made)
Xpel Prime XR Plus (India / Pakistan made)

All three seem to rank just about the same in terms of quality and performance, however I had to rule out the IRX as the vehicle came with treated glass and I wanted to remain within legal SPEC (the lightest IRX comes in is 50% which when combined with my treated glass would have been well below the 20% for rear glasses and definitely not applicable for front windshield).

Now the vehicle in question to be done was an SUV, so there was more glass to be covered than a regular sedan. I received an estimate from both Professional Tint Distributors & Techmotive for the Formula One Stratos and Xpel Prime XR Plus respectively;

Stratos: 6.5k
XR Plus: 6k

Both were willing to provide an appointment within a couple of days and have the job completed within 24 hours, but given the fact that I'm centrally located, I decided to go with Techmotive.

Today is day two after installation, and it seems as though today will be the first day of hot sun to test.

On a side note, I did not know until installation that there is a 3% margin of error when reading tint levels, so really you have up to 67% for whole front, 32% for front doors, and 17% for the rest (it's posted on the MOWT website).

[MaxPower]

The XR Plus is amazing.

[MG Man]

Stratos: 6.5k
XR Plus: 6k.

I go take mih hot sun oui

[PariaMan]

Some fellars have a lot of spare change hanging around yes

[pugboy]

how these tints compare to the original llumar air80?

[MaxPower]

pug,

MAJOR difference.

Before you buy, compare the both.

[hover11]

Stratos: 6.5k
XR Plus: 6k.

I go take mih hot sun oui

6k for tint.... rel sawaties and big shots in here yes

[ProtonPowder]

Xpel is worth it, I can park my car in the blazing hot sun for hours then put my hands flat on the dashboard without issue

[pugboy]

i have the original air 80 on my front glass and it was worth the $600 i paid back in 2015

but are ppl putting these clearish heat block tints over existing tint on windows also?

been driving a car with zero tint 3 years now, since they said they clamping down on tint, and parking in the sun all day as well. I pop open a sun shade under the windscreen and that's it.
I'll live with 3 minutes to cool the car down every day vs 6k for tint
Same for traffic. AC maintained well enough, so basically only my right arm feels the burn if I'm driving with one hand on the door in 12:00 sun. Car is sufficiently cool

[ProtonPowder]

Maybe your car AC powerful enough to cool down a scorching hot cabin in 3 mins, but most peoples' cars cant do that at all.

Nobody who could afford 6k in tint driving a s!itbox with sketchy ac

[david12]

6k could buy small mods not tint lol

Sunshade ftw!

[*KRONIK*]

6k could buy small mods not tint lol

Sunshade ftw!

Yup
Even tho i have llumar and the airblue installed on both vehicles
I still put up a sunshade/visor when i'm parking for prolonged periods

[redmanjp]

my car is parked facing the sun everyday so by 8-8:30am it hot.

i usually turn down the windows for a minute and put the AC on fresh air and at 22C. i would stat driving as this would allow natural breeze to blow through. then after that minute or two put back up the windows but keep AC on fresh air for another 3 minutes or so. by that time the air in the cabin is no hotter than outside so then i put the AC back on recirculate.

6k for tint now? how much the air80 is? i would settle for that and just buy a sunscreen

[Chimera]

D fuq @ tint price

[VexXx Dogg]

[emoji6]k? My kidney stones start to vomit yes
