Default Getting windowsretinted today, opinion on % to get?
I had limo tint on the TA and loved it, it took over a yr for me to actually get pulled over for it. I just moved back to San Antonio, are they strict on window tint? What do you guys recommend?

Yeah the same state trooper pulled me over twice in a week for Limo tint, but the city police have never given me problems.

Go as dark as you want if you don't care about getting fucked with by cops. If you're concerned, get legal tint.

Can insurance deny a claim if your tint is illegal? I'm just wondering...

I've heard that they can but I've never heard of them actually doing it...not saying they can't or don't...I'm just saying that I personally have never heard of it actually being done...

Maybe an insurance agent or adjuster can chime in

Just don't get into a wreck...

I know I know...easier said than done...not always your fault...it was sarcasm

This is way darker than I remember. I think I'm going to take the tint off when I get back to my place. Waste of $
