What Window Tint is the Best

I have a 2003 max and I need to tint the windows (It's getting hot in Texas). What brand of Tint looks the best and has the best quality.

i have a 2k3 too... i've always heard that formulaone tint was good... so i went out and got 18% formulaone tint (100% metallic so it won't fade)... and so far i've had no problems iwth it.. and i think it looks great.... kinda pricey but well worth it.. lifetime guarantee

Some manufacturers such as 3M and Solar Gard offer lifetime warranty. There are also different grade levels offered by each manufacturer. But the 3M film can withstand ammonia cleaner such as windex. I'm currently using the Solar Gard(Quantum) and I'm satisfied with it. You can check out my homepage for pictures.

I have Llumar 35%. I like it and no problems. It also carries a lifetime warranty. Formula One is good too.

Laws!

I think there are no laws governing how dark you can tint your windows in TX, but here in NY we are tech. not allowed to tint our front windows at all. you might wanna check your local laws. but i have 35% all around on my black max and it looks great.

I did Llumar metallic "millenium" (seems to be a canadian name?)..

Its sort of reflective and expensive as hell but looks amazing! life time guarantee and won't fade... It also reduces UVA & UVB rays to protect your interior and you Works great blocking out heat as well... Check out my homepage for pics!

These may help. If you're in Houston I can recommend a place.

get 35% and keep the cops of your a$$ since thats legal in Texas and be happy, cause up in NY you can only have 70% on the side windows.
