Most commercial vehicles require no extra licenses. It just means that it is over a certain GVWR. My truck has commercial plates and I have a regular drivers license. Technically I'm not supposed to drive on certain roads but police aren't going to stop a regular pick up.

Jake you think they could have sanded the dot matrix down before applying the tint as to alleviate the problem?

Can't seem to find Meguiar's anywhere, Autozone/O'Reilly's/Advance Auto Part's/Walmart.

Thanks! I'll try it out then.

Also, I already have a brow for the windshield, and the dumb bestbuy guy installed my Viper sensor on it in the corner, if the tint shopped removed it to put a new brow on, would they be able to stick it back on?

Is $150 reasonable? I should have asked how much for everything, 35% windshield and 5% brow/everything around.

I want 5% on the 4 side windows and back window and 5% brow and it was quoted at $150 for all of it with a lifetime warranty. I called more places and it was the cheapest around.

Sounds good to me

Yea that's a good price man. But 5% on the front? That's gonna be crazy dark at night. It's kinda hard to see out my 15% at night sometimes.

Do you have stock tint already
