    Default Tint Film

    I'm looking for a very small strip of 20% or 35% tint to be used on a project I'm working on right now. We're not talking about anything extremely large here, I would say something along the lines of 15"x2". I went to Canadian Tire but all they had were fairly large rolls of window tint that goes for somewhere between $16-$25. The thing is, I will only be cutting a very small strip off so it seems like a wastes since I won't ever tint my own windows. Anyone have suggestions as to where I may find what I am looking for? TIA

    Walk into a tint shop and explain your situation, see if they'll let you have the end pieces that they trim off.

    The tint shop idea didn't work. Oh well.
    I'm wondering if anyone else had some extra scraps of tint kicking around?

    The third brake light; it's that white strip of LED's. I'm not sure if it will block out too much light but I want to give it a shot first.

    Whatever I can get my hands on, can't be too picky now. How dark is the film?
