If you have a Walmart near you, they have Axius brand tint, you might take a look at the 20% quality level 7500, it has a light metallic layer instead of dye, so it doesn't look as dark, but it is still just as hard to see through.

Get a doctor's note for migraines during night driving because of light.
I've got a note and it works wonders...

Hey man, I saw your Hawk at Speed Inc. a few weeks a ago.... SWEET! If memory serves me correct, they were saying that your car was having tranny ussues? Hope they've got you straight.

Very nice ride man!!

Anyway, If you don't mind a ticket or 2... get what you want!

Get it redone. I used to have 35% all around, but took off the side tints when I also got a ticket. I've gotten used to the tint on the back only, but I'm not a big fan of the look of it. I liked it much better with tint all around. I'm going to have mine redone at the end of the summer.

Here's a story for you, I was with my friend once in his Dak RT when he got pulled over for dark tint, the cop pulled out an electronic tester and it read 3%!!! That was some dark *** ****!!!

I'd be happy with that percentage being legal here. All tint is illegal here which has gotten me 3 tickets (In my Firebird) since Ive owned her. Right now I'm cruising around with no tint but I cant stand how it looks with out tint so I'm going to go and have it tinted a lot lighter than I used to have it.
