Right....

So you either have to know a nice cop that'll do that for you
or
Hope that the cop won't go look at you car when you go get the ticket signed



In my case, I had my tint taken off first and sure enough he went to go look at the car before he signed off on it

I got 20% on the front wich as previously said is a wee bit darker than the rears. Putting super dark on the rear window is sometimes just too fin dark to see anything out of your mirror at night.

No complaints on my rear 3 windows with the 5%, although i have autodim but never really have it on. Won't tint the front b/c it will ruin it for road hunting....

Exactly!!

Yeah....if you put more tint on the back.....you won't see **** at night when you're backing up. I mean it looks cool & gives you privacy (from thieves), but you gotta roll your window down and look back when backing up....LOL

Ok, so the 35% looks pretty hott to me. Except the shop that did it, left one wrinkle in the passenger window.


I'll get pics up later.

Went with 35% then???

Good choice!!
Not too light, not too dark (to get you pulled over), and it'll look good with the 20% in the rear

I got bored today and tinted the rear two small windows.

Turned out amazing. First time ever, helps to take your time. Found that out.

First pic is before I retinted the rears, second is after.

Since I forgot to upload pics.

Here ya go.

Hey Frenchy, Did you get the back window tinted yet? if so how did they tint around the back seat head restraints? Or did they take them out? I'd like to take mine out for tinting but can't figure how to...
