Don't recall the percent off hand, sorry, and, just got a front window fix it ticket yesterday

Will be changing to either a clear or damn close to clear now. Funny thing was, as I looked around at the other cars taking a break in the canyon, 3-4 other cars also had tint, wonder what single me out?? I called him on that, his answer was, I was just doing paper work and looked up and saw you drive by. Weak sauce.

I was Profiled,

Even in an 08

You should've said "I agree it is too dark...otherwise you'd be writing me a ticket for flipping you the bird!"

Yeah I have 20% all around. Looks good. But if I had to do it again I'd go 15%. The shop I used didn't have the 15% in the "performance" tint so I went with the 20. Not many shops in Huntsville that do GOOD tint jobs so I settled for slightly lighter windows. On DGM any shade looks good though unless it's that mirror tint crap.

Had mine done about 3 months ago, it's pretty dark and haven't been bothered yet. I was going to go lighter, but it looked so much better dark!

What percent is that on the front and back?

Im thinking about going 5% ALL AROUND

dakine01 · 06-09-2008, 03:40 PM

5% in back, it's like 10 or 15% in the front.

SirMattieP · 06-09-2008, 03:50 PM

Sickk imme do 5% front and back and a 20 % strip across the top SON!!!!!!!! W0rd

Joel-STi · 06-09-2008, 04:07 PM

15% all around

Halogene · 06-10-2008, 04:26 AM

Thanks guys for the suggestions. 15% looks awesome, but I think I'll go 20% all around (minus front windshield) just to make sure I can see at night! My problem now is finding a good shop to do it at a decent price. (Cleveland=not many choices!) Ziebart (using HighPerformance film) is quoting $260 +tax +supplies. Not even sure what +supplies means! Another place (using Solargards film) is quoting $240 +tax. But their site looks kinda crappy and the gallery shows a bunch of POS cars.

That's out of hand. 2 shops have offered to do it for $120 - $140 here in Denver.
