Agree!

Tint really has a lot of advantages.

All states have different laws...a friend of mine not only got a $250.00 ticket for having his tint too dark, but the state trooper also pulled out a razor blade scraper and made him scrape it all off ...right there on the side of the roadway !!! That's called getting your ***** busted !!!

Good call with the photoshop. Wondered why the tint is different colors in each picture.

I just had someone put Limo tints on my torch red coupe.... It looks AWESOME, theres no way you can see through them even in the day. The only bad part is i cant see out of them at night, and backing up is a nightmare! No problems with the po-po here in florida!

Here's a pic of mine. I use 6% HPC from Solar Guard to do all of my tinting. I tint on the side so I'm used to the curved glass.

It looks like you did an awesome job. What brand of tint did you buy? Details man, we need details.

Thats similar to here, but the LEO may give you the option to remove it on
sight or give you a ticket. I went with the legal limit. Not as dark as I'd
like but better than nothing and no risk of having to remove it. Went
two shades darker on the rear window, no limits on it!

I would have to give you props. You obviously must have had your hand in the buisness somewhere along the line. I have tried before and after numerous rolls and flip-out sessions I just gave up. To much of a PITA for me to deal with. I would have been better off just spending the money getting it done in the shop the first time instead of trying to cheap out.

That the first thing I do to every car we get and it's always darker, only cops that have a pet peeve for it will pull you over, just roll down your windows and theres nothing he can do also if you have black interior it will appear darker and if you put the limo tint on the back window it will appear darker I like the looks of dark windows JMO.
