I first said to the guy I want 35% then I saw his F150 HD edition with 20%. It looked so good I said What the HeII put 20% all around and a 5% windshield strip. I was so nervous about getting yelled at by my folks because he said it better be legal. I said of Course When I got home the said it looked sharp. How long should I wait to put down the windows? 3 Days? Pics will be updated soon

I think that you made the right decision...35% just isn't that much. I bet it looks sweet bro. Post those pics soon. And yes, three days should be long enough. If it is dry and warm where you are ,then two days should be plenty.
out.

Great decision my man. I have 20% all around as well. Even though the shop didn't do a good job, I think the percentage is perfect. My friend has 35% on his Camry and in the daytime it's almost meaningless, on sunny days it's completely see through. 20% is different, in the sun it's a bit see through, in dusky days, evenings it's almost Limo-like, at night it's just like limo tint. I was told to wait 4 days before lowering windows and that is what I did, although I know of some people who lowered it within a day or even 12 hours and nothing happened. Let's see some pictures.

heh

hah cool man. I have 5% rears and only 35% front because front tint is illegal in NJ. I'm taking the 35% off for the winter and putting 5% on the fronts next spring When I got my tint on it was still cold out (like february/march) he said wait 4-7 days. But since its summer now im sure you only have to wait like 3-4 days.

35% bronze all around which I think looks good with beige
