They can over lay 35% on it again, my buddy did 5% overlays and made it invis to see in/out lol.

I got 15% tints all around on my car. It looks great, but I need to roll my rear windows down when I park at night.

Overlay 35% with 35%. that will be plenty dark should still be able to see outside.

why pay for so much when you can watch many youtube vids on how to tint your own vehicle. You save $100 - $140..and you learn something new..And you cant beat free shipping

the lower the percentage the darker the tint. 5% is the lowest visibility. 20% wd be higher visablity...and so on and so on.

go for it! $80 is damn good. and it will look 10X better. seriously. Don't bother getting darker than your state law allows. i've got 5% on the back and 35% on the front. its just a pain to deal with nosey cops and inspections, unless you know somewhere that will just give you the sticker or won't check your tint. I just got a BS ticket because apparently texas just passed a law in september that says i have to have labels on each window that rolls down that says what percentage it is. i just got my tint done about three weeks ago for $150. I'm a little ticked about that....

Absolutely. One of the better mods for a car in my opinion. Adds comfort and privacy to a vehicle, physically protects the interior and makes a car look that much better. Faack going too dark though. Keep it safe and legal. Go for all round comfort. 27-35%.


Oh....and I had some Formula One 28 on my car when I lived in Atlanta and it was perfect. Perfect comfort, visibility, privacy and the cops didn't feel threatened or pissed off by it. ****** crying shame that I had to take the fronts off when I moved back to VT. I miss those fronts like a mother fricker.

I gotta talk to my congressman............

i agree with people saying make it legal. i went with the 30% in MA when 35% is the limit. i didnt think it would make that much of a difference but the cops certainly can tell. 250 dollar ticket later i have 35 in the front windows and 30 in the back. looks good but i still get pulled over and tested at least once a month.

I got 25% all around. I paid $150 and got a lifetime warranty. 25% is dark enough to block out alot of things but light enough for cops not to mess with you.
