If you didn't do it yourself I'm surprised any shop would do it with the liability involved.

Hey Gary.. yea, a local shop done it, but on the receipt, they stamped 'ILLEGAL FILM' on it. He told me to make sure I didn't keep the receipt in my car for obvious reasons! haha...

Yellow92, it was my daily driver for a couple years but then I couldn't take the stress any longer, i.e., the near misses on the way to work, parking at the far end of parking lots, not driving in the rain, etc.

So, I garaged it and only take it out on the weekends and shows. Just rolled over to 33,000 miles.

I did 20% all around or atleast thats what the box said but when i had it tested at the state inspection they tested it at 14%.... Mass allows nothing darker than 35% so I had to peal it.

Looks good!


too bad you had to peal it off! That sux!
I sure hope they don't start testing at state inspection time here in TX!

How about if you had just rolled your windows down and then bribed the inspector?
