I had my done last week at 35% but they didn't do a good job so I had them redone Saturday at 20%. They look awsome. Then I got pulled Saturday night for riding around with just my fog lights on, so I had to roll down the front to keep from getting a tint ticket. I was worried it would mess them up but so far I haven't seen anything.

Okay, I am relatively new to this forum, posted once, but I wish to chime in on this subject.
I live in Arkansas and they are pretty strict on tint laws. 25% on the front doors is the limit. (Better than some).
This is something that has pi$$ed me off for awhile because I think when we drive we are entitled to our privacy. On my truck now I have 5% all the way around the back and 15% on my front doors. I even have the front windshield tinted 32% all the way down. Looks REALLY good IMO. I think that a tinted windsheild helps you see out of otherwise dark side windows because your eyes are already used to it being dark (visual purple I beleive it's called) I have gotten way more pragmatic on this subject because when I first started driving, I would have 5% on the doors and 20% on the 'shield. Of course I was young and stupid and drove like an idiot and got tint tickets all the time. Now I don't even drive in the daytime because I have a company truck to drive when I want to.
My point to all this rambling is
We are entitled to our privacy when we drive. I know why they are there, because the police don't want to get shot at by someone they can't see. But I want to see one example of a cop getting a gun pulled on him by somebody behind tinted windows.
I'm not a law-breaker by any means, I have a clean driving record.
Any way love the site, and I hope I haven't bored you all to death with this. I'll try to have some pics up of my truck soon and a description of it. 04 supercab 2wd. BRIGHT RED.
