Well idk if thats what it's technically called but thats what we call em around here.. but the No Fear rear window decal. It's a full window thing that I had to trim to fit. It takes up the whole rear window and is like a mesh material..

Idk, you don't HAVE to, I guess. You could work around it. Just be careful.

Also, check your inbox, I sent you a direct link.

Okay, I'll give it a look. How hard are the front ones to do? It's illegal around here to go past a certain percentage but I'm not sure what it is.. Guess I'll take my chances when the time comes..

In Michigan, it's illegal to have ANY film on the front windows. You are allowed a 4" strip along the top of the window line. Difficulty wise, the front door windows will be the same as the back doors.

In all honesty, if you're gonna be doing 5% over the rear three windows, I'd do 35% on the front doors. It'll be darker than nothing, but won't be such a NOTICEABLE dark from the police. Generally you should be able to slide.

Me, I'm allowed film on my front doors in Michigan. Go me and having a tint prescription.

I guess idk what all the percentages mean... I mean I bought 2.5% so I'm guessing they are going to say that is all together too dark? That law just seems so.... stupid. What would be the ticket for something like that? a fix it ticket? Just seen you were a police officer.. Thats actually what I wanna do (when i turn 21..)

Ya, Michigan is gay. It's an unusual law, but I have a feeling that law is put into affect thanks to the high crime rate in Detroit.

What cop would, in that type of town, be willing to pull over a vehicle that they can't see into, and knock on the window as in asking to roll the window down? If you can't see through it, what could be on the other side? A 9mm, a Colt 45...

ya follow my thoughts here?

5% is about the darkest film you can buy, 35% is a light tint. The lower the number the darker the tint.

I'd honestly return your 2.5%, cuz my buddy bought some of the EXACT same stuff, and the 5% from the company I linked you to, was actually a LOT darker than the 2.5%.

Yeah. I do. But I mean dangerous people are everywhere.. I mean I'm glad that I'm on the other side of the state than Detroit especially how they say it's literally safer in Iraq than in Detroit. But at the same time... They could limit that law to that city or county.. In Ann Arbor if you get busted with pot you don't get arrested it's just a fine. Thats different than any other city here in Michigan..
