Llumar is very thick tint, it's both good and bad. I have it on my trucks and have for years. I have said it often but I will never use it again, it was the cheapest option at the time for me but my windows started to roll up slower and slower, and they would start to squeak. I also have many scratches in the tint from what looks like possible dirt in the window trays. So it scratches easily, and took it's toll due to thickness on how fast it rolls up the windows now.

Looks great on your ride though, I have 20% on all windows except for the windshield. You are going to be happy about getting that windshield tint, my interior definitely has faded due to none on the windshield :[ Never again

I'm gonna have mine done in 35% as soon as I get back to Florida. My 03 Lariat had 35% on the front.....it's not bad at all. Keeps the glare down not to mention it is cooler!

It is best to have the tint applied to a windshield that doens't have a lot of pits or other abnormalties.....if you have your windshield replaced, that would be the prime time to do it.

See that's what I'm trying to tell these guys. 35% isn't bad at all. I wouldn't go any darker on the windshield ever though. It's so much better driving with it, no need to wear sun glasses.

Correct. The person who told me to get it done is actually a LEO who drives a NBS Saleen.

Many police officers make very good money depending on what department they work for.

The most I've ever heard of is a neighbor of mine who makes just over 100k with a lot of overtime as a CHP. He has a lot of seniority however.

Tracy PD just down the road from you starts new officers at about $70k.

That's where I'm going to try and get hired.

70k in Cali probably equals 35k in other states. I have seen crappy houses go for $800,000 in Cali

it really just depends on the person on being able to see through a tinted window at night. i have 5% all around and have no problem seeing out at night. now at night when it's raining is another story.

i'm hoping to put 50% or 35 % on the front this summer
