Default Decided to pull the trigger.

Finally decided to have tint put on my truck, been playing with the idea a lot on whether to have it done or do it myself, and i decided to leave it to the pros.

was orginally just gonna tint the fronts to 50% (the legal limit in VA dumb commonwealth) but when i got to the place that did my buddy's ram i said F that light crap and the dumb laws and am now goin with 35%, then while i was looking at it decided to also go with tint on the rears as well, was gonna go with 35% but i like the look of darker back windows, then was playing with the idea of 20% and at that point i was like screw it lets go all the way with 5%

set up a appointment for the 17th and it'll cost me i think they said 150 cause of the slider back window, not bad tho, the place next to my work wanted 170

Yeah tint laws are dumb really pa only allows 35% but I did 20% and I like it so much better its nice and dark where its hard to see in but not too dark where driving at night is a pita. I want to do my glass at 5% but dont want to pay someone to do it but I dont trust myself enough to do it so I got pre cut tint for my front and that turned out well but the back will be harder. With what you have said you are getting it sounds like it will look pretty good and that price is good. Closest tint guys near me wanted 60 to do the front 2 windows and 140 to do the back
