$150 is quite a bit of money to me, especially when its converted to liquid gold.

sometimes the cops down here have been known to whip out a razor and scratch a big "X" into a persons tint. I have 35% on sides and windshield. Its a pain to see at night, even with 55W xenon projectors

i guess oklahoma is a lot more relaxed about it. lol cause most of my buddies have atleast 5% and none of us have been hasseled. after saying this i'll probably get pulled over on my home from school and have to peel it.. but i doubt it.

I had 35% and it was way too light for me. Had it redone to 15% fronts and got the 5% strip across the windshield and its DARK inside now. Perfect for my tastes.

i agree with this guy. if you dont like going to extreme as far as darkness goes, those are pretty good guidlines. you could always to 50 across the windshield which will make the sides appear darker but you can see out of them the same

would love to see that done on my truck

tint is on the inside, not the outside so that "giant x" turns into a "giant etch"

no thanks

I like it. I had 20% on my fronts, but I took it off and put 35% on instead. Of course here in MN the legal limit is 50% up front.

you might want to fight that ticket bc you are allowed tint on the front side windows. not very dark but you can have them tinted. the windshield is only allowed to have the top few inches tinted
