Are you talking about the side windows or the windshield? Have you called around to local tint shops?

Some tints shops will do it, but there will be no record of it...IE, cash only and no reciept. That way if you get busted, it can't be traced back to the shop. I guess you just have to ask.

In oregon, 35% is as dark as you legally can go, but I just had a shop do 20% on my front two windows, cash only deal...

I got mine done up at a dealership up in the dallas area. I had a buddy that worked there, and made friends with the tint guy. Just ask your friends and see who knows who. You might be able to sweet talk someone with a tip into doing it darker then legal.

my tint is 15% front two and 5% rear 3

35% in Texas is legal. I'm up in the Dallas area and got all my windows done for $100. The guy who does all the CarToy tints did my for whole sale cost.

call around....i found that several shops here in Tennessee didnt want to tell me over the phone that they would do it since it could be some authority or something checking in on them. However, they hinted to come on in and they would "hook me up" and "make a deal" with me. Just tell the place you are not worried about your tint being legal.

Yeah, they will do it as dark as you want it. That's more business for them when it comes time for inspection and you have to get it re-tinted.
