.. Durrrr
those of you scared of windsheild tint, here.
^they know me. i've been going there for 4 years now. they've done my camaro twice, and also my T/A's windows, and have gotten them like 10 custmoers (friends, mom, girlfriend, brother...). when i did get a fix-it ticket for my camaro, i took it off myself. and then went back to them a few weeks later to get it redone.
I thought the same thing until I had that happen to me & the guy didn't remember me, but he DID honor it several years later when it started to peal. Since then I have taken everything to him & never had a problem. Like stated before I have never gotten a recipt & always payed in cash.

here in north carolina we dont have inspection stickers anymore they just go by your sticker on your tag and you can tint everything on your car except the front windshield and here or atleast the times i have gotten pulled over they always check my front windshield for anything thats not suppose to be on there so the ones that have it on there and police hasnt anything start knockin on wood then
My trans am is blacked out with 5% all the way around with a massive strip that covers half the windshield and it doesn't bother me to drive at night, but it gets old have to dodge the cops to avoid tickets. I'm getting ready to lighten my front side windows in my dodge truck to 35% and do the whole windshield in 35% too to keep it darker. Got a ticket in it the other day, this one cop drives around our town all day looking to right window tint tickets

Just picked up mine from Bentonville Glass Inc. Had 20% on the sides and 15% on the rear. Legal here is 30% on the sides and 15% on the rear.
There's some ghosting by the dot matrix, hopes it smooths out, if not I'll take it back in 2 weeks.
The 20% looks pretty dark from the outside, but i can see fine out of it.
I chose not do get the windshield tinted.

i don't let the people that do the inspection put the sticker on.
wow, that's redic.
like mentioned above, alot of the tints on side windows are illegal as well, so if the shop will do that, they'll probably do the windshield.
the shop that does my windows will do it all, but you have to pay cash, you get no receipt, and they tell you if you get pulled over for it, not to say you got it done there. you still get lifetime warranty and all, just no paper trace, so they dont get into trouble

yea, that's dark.. i'm sure it's nice though.
i was at a car show once, and this lexus with a badass custom audio set up and fabbed up custom dash had 5% on the front windshield, double five on the back glass, and 5% over 15% on the sides. it was crazy good looking talk about painted glass.
I run 5% on my fronts on the truck and 18% over factory 18% out back (2-3ish % overall). Visibility is not an issue whatsoever, except when the inside of the car fogs up. 20% looks really good on the winshield, I think I'll get that done.

I have 15% on my fronts (legal is 35% here) i'm not sure but i probably paid debit as i never carry cash on me and i have a receipt lifetime warranty. i know 15% isn't that big a deal (although i did fail inspection....$20 under the table took care of it)but i think its kinda funny that they gave me a receipt for an illegal tint job
I've been wanting to get 40% on the windshield, especially after seeing scj's out side shot, I think that would get noticed. I could legally tint my windshield if I went to the eye doctor and got a prescription for windshield tint since I get migraines. 30% would be perfect imo but I don't want anything noticeable, legal or not, cause you'd still be getting pulled over for it and who wants that hassle.
I have had my windsheild at 35% for years now, it is the perfect tint, reduces the right amount of glare without making it too bad at night. Unless you already have problems with seeing at night, I think 35% is a good tint, if problems seeing at night, go 50%.
The guy who tinted my car has his Firehawk windsheild tinted at 20%, now that is a dark tint.
