Finally

Well I am finally getting the 5% tint and the clear bra installed this weekend!!!! This 35% crap tint the factory installed has to go.

Don't think the factory adds any tint, except maybe in the glass itself. Not something you can remove. I have 20% tint on the back and that it dark enough to make me roll down the side windows to see back at night when merging on a dark freeway. 5% I can't imagine... Don't override safety just for looks.

I am doing the bumper only. The upper and lower. It is costing me 250.00 installed. The installed bought it in bulk so I got a discount.

If you are talking about the police, I just lower both windows if I get pulled over and put my hands on the wheel and never have any problems!

Actually if you have your paperwork ready for them AFTER you bring your windows down, they'll take pity on you more times than not. Works everytime for me. They like when you don't waste their time

That must be bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors. I am just doing the bumper, that is why it was only $250.00. I did call another place and they wanted $450.00. Yikes.

I've been told to wait until they ask you for the paperwork. They don't like to see a lot of movement as they're walking up to the car. Especially if you have tinted windows!
