you're car is only as suspicious as you.. I live in the ghetto and never get a second look from police. My car doesn't look ghanky either.

i was followed by a cop the other day (first time in a longggggggg time) and no doubt had my plate ran. being directly behind me, i know they gave a second look to the tinted tails AND tinted windows. cops have better things to do in madison, plus all my brake lights work.

i had mine done for 110+tax. At Zeno's Tight Whips and More...here's there phone number for proof. (615)-256-3935. Looks damn good too

wow 200. 110 same. all 20%

called it

I'd rather pay someone $200 for quality work and decent tint. Cheaping out that much is bound for regrets. Google a tint forum. Lots of good info there so I don't have to explain.

whoever tinted my car used **** stuff, so its peeling. also looks like they didn't clean the windows very well before tint theres a place around the corner from me that charges ~$250 but do a hell of a job. plus the owner is hot

I'm sure its been said but.

Don't cheap out the extra $80 for 3m or suntek and a reputable installer is worth it hands down. oh not to mention a warranty.

I'd say go with the tint that Ryan has on his car, but his tint may look darker because the car is darker as well.

If you can't tint all 5 windows, then what's the point. Just doing the rear half of the car looks cheap.

the law here (for cars) is 50% front/35% rear and i've never been hassled.

on the other hand, i was in a car with 20% front/10% rear who WAS, but didn't get a ticket.

20% all around would be my suggestion, even on a silver car, but only if it can be done all around.

Even with the lightest tint, not having it all around with the exception of the windshield = not a good look.

my car is silver and I went with 20% all around. It looks great and I'm glad I didn't go darker, because my interior is grey leather which makes it appear to be darker too.

You guys need to check out the new 3M nano-tech tint,no metal or dye to worry about. It's available for FRONT winshield use;I'll be doing this as soon as I can save the $70, should help w/the Tucson AZ heat. 3M claims 33% heat reduction for the front w.shield. Surprised nobody mentioned it.

anyone here have their front window done...? doesn't it make it hard to see?

Yes I did on page 2.

Just FYI 50-70% tint isn't worthless. It still rejects UV rays and helps keep heat out. The higher percentage is more common on front winshields allowing maximum visibility.

Obviously YES! I think 70% would be fine. If you did end up tinting the font I would highly suggest a premium tint allowing maximum visibility, heat shield, UV block, and less reflection. Some tints have a color hue other than black or gray. I've seen greens and browns. While the color doesn't bother visibility, it might be difficult to adjust to. My tint has a brown to it, not happy about it, and I'm used to it now. But at first I was like WTF?
