Default Tints

go a quote to add tints 5% on hatch and side windows for $130.
Is this a good price? Is 5% too light? Im in Nevada and I know the are some restrictions.

5% tint all around is very dark but looks the best in my opinion. In MO 35% on the side windows is legal and as dark as you want on the back. Night time driving will be very different with 5% though. Hope this helps!
Also thats a really good price as i paid $170 for the same thing

I pointed a 1 million candle power spotlight at my friend in his car with 5% tint. It barely lit up the interior of the car. He didn't even have to squint his eyes or anything. Those are some dark windows.

I just got a quote yesterday for $199 which i think is a total rip considering its only 3 windows and my buddy got his durango done for $299 at the same place and he had 9 windows

As a cop in Washington state, take it from me. go what your legal tint laws are. All your giving is a reason to be stopped I went 35 on sides and 10 in rear. Also think about night driving. it's way harder to see out your sides if the tints to dark.

Thats a great price. 5% is LIMO, VERY dark. Illegal actually, but what the hey. I had it on my cars, not just the vette. It makes the car look VERY nice, keeps the interior cool, and adds some privacy .

See sig.
