Default Got my windows tinted... pics!

One piece back window at 5%, sides at 35%. Cost me $120 with a lifetime warranty. They did a great job:

Mines one piece... Also why did you go light on the sides... I went 15 and its still pretty easy to see through during the day

His state only allows 35% max.

That looks really good, i like how its just one piece on the back window, when i got mine done, my back was one piece, but i got 15% all around, and on my brow, why did you go with 35% on the sides, just wanted it to be legal? Mine is far from legal.

Some people don't like running the risk of paying for $100+ tickets just to have a tad darker window tinting.

The car looks great LS1formulation!

Actually, in Michigan ANY tint on the side windows is illegal unless it's on the top 4" only. That looks like crap in my opinion. I rarely EVER drive with my windows up, so I'm not worried about getting a ticket. I just learned they also assess two points on your license for it as well. I figure for the most part I'll be fine since you can see inside pretty easily.

Actually, since I know your talking about the law you found one some website is outdated. You can put 35% on the sides all the way like you have and it's still legal.

damn, good to know because I thought it was the 4'' as well. I have been waiting on doing the tint because I dont want the tickets after. I searched and many places said only top 4'' but the sites were old (2004) and then I found a new one that said 35%. Probably do like a 30% or something but the 35% isnt bad, way better than nothing, that is for sure. Where did you go to have it done?

They're already tinted about 35% (the T-tops). That's awesome that 35% is legal on the sides now - I can get my Mustang done too then.

Nice looking car...

It's funny, I refuse to run a front plate, but I'd be afraid of tinting my windows here in Illinois...
