Tint Question (pop-out windows)
Simple question.
http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/TX/
Do the rear pop-out windows count for rear windows? I know it's obvious, but my rear-side and back seem WAY darker than 25%?
After I make all my money back that i've spent this week ($150 for hood, $75 for grille, $400 for paint, $500 for books, $130 for head unit), I want to tint the back 3 windows to 30% and fronts to 60%. But I'd rather have the pop-out windows as dark as possible...

idk how it would look putting tint over something thats already tinted too it'll probably show the tiniest bubbles a lot more at least from what i've heard from my friend who does tint take it to a pro tinter and see what they say about it i guess

is the stock (plexiglass??) dye tinted or is there a layer of tint that can be removed by a tinter, and have a darker layer re-applied?

I put my subwoofer box (bare MDF) in my backseat, and it was clear as almond that it was sitting there. I havent tried the flashlight test yet at night, but it'd like for it to be half-hidden, so that the carpet can cover the other half...
