I wouldn't ever want to be rear ended while driving one of those someone trusting a butter knife through the back would be able to get you. So imagine getting in an accident?

I actually just got my front windows tinted last week to match my back windows. I'll be planning on getting my brow done shortly just not right now. Not sure if I want to but a design or words up there yet.

Thanks guys for the replies. Im going 15% over stock tint.

I feel preety safe in the SmartCar no problems here. I honestly feel safer in it than my truck, probably cause its lower and since my accident (wasnt driving) last year I'm REALLY afraid of flipping.

Have you seen the insides after an accident. You might get banged up but nothing compared to the inside of minor accidents that I have been in. The inside stays together very well and basically becomes on big *** air bag.

And How would you not feel safer in a truck? If you don't drive your truck like an juice box and you should be fine and not flip it.

I drive just fine, dont really speed and accelrate slow to get good MPG's. I guess its just in the back of my head since the accident. With the tint I do feel safer for whatever reason.
PICS!!!
Before:


After:


I asked for 20% over stock tint. He put on 10% so when we checked it came out to be. 8.7% up front 1.9% rear. You can't see in hardly at all in the front and nothing at the back. If I get a ticket he said he will pay for it and fix it.

Jake: The sun is coming from the front I think. Its really dark as hell, you can barely see in.

Chris, not an oil leak maybe a reflection? My truck doesnt leak a drop or I would not be allowed to park in the drive way.

EDIT: Oh my cat, yeah hes a bastard.

Any of you guys tint your own front windows? I want to add like 35% on my front and have been thinking about doing it myself to save 50 bucks or so. All the places in my area charge 80+ for 2 windows and I could just buy the tint for $20 bucks.
