35 is the legal limit, are you trying to go darker in the front than in the back? That begs for unwanted attention.

legally you can only get 35% in the front. doesn't matter what you are doing inside, that is the law on window tint.

most places are goign to be about the same price for just two front windows. Probably $50. Good places are like cutting edge and formula 1. The question is will they do illegal tint for you.

Anything illegal? Its the tint that is illegal, don't care what you're doing in there.

We should make posting stupid threads without searching illegal.

i can search, but my question had NOTHING to do with legality, so thats a moot point......it had to do with a place around here that does quality work for a good price. im not up to date on any threads in here, because i never post in here......and i could google it but i dont know what im getting. im looking for personal experences with a quality place. so get off of my dick omar and go ride someone elses

not only that, but if you were legaly putting tint on the back, less than 15% isnt a good idea, it doesnt hold up well, and fades quickly, most professional places will tell you darker than 15% is stupid, unless you want to nig money away, plus its hard to see behind you at night when you are backing up, i have 15 on the back of my truck and 35 on the front and am complelety happy with it,

formula one does great work for reasonable prices btw

and what in the hell does you getting new tires have anything to do with tint?

yeah, we understand that but what you are not understanding is that the percentage you want is illegal. so that means a quality shop will not install your tint and if you do find someone to do it, it'll probably be done in someone's backyard and the word quality with have nothing to do with the install.

look i have no fucking clue what is legal and what isnt. im looking for suggestions. im tryin to get my car fixed up and lookin nice, im just lookin for any sort of help.i have NO idea where to go. if you werent suck dickholes about your suggestions this thread might have actually helped me. now im just pissed off and never coming back in this shitty ass fucking section. all of you garage type noens can eat a bag of dicks.....although im sure your egos have no problems with me leaving.



last time i came in here......when i first got my car, i asked for suggestions on what i should do myself to it to increase the aesthetic value. many people told me to even out the tint, and go up a size in tires. well i just went up a size on tires, and i figure ill even the tint out. like i said, i was told the wrong thing by someone who thought they knew they were talking about regarding tint, and i figured i could get some sort of help from people who do know, but some of you are so far up your own ass youd rather talk a bunch of shit before actually giving some sort of advice. fuck you im outta here.

and you came to the right place but again the problem is in your reading comprehension. you for some reason didn't understand the legality issue of what you wanted done. your question was answered. sorry if us blue-collar boys didn't hold your hand all the way to the tint shop then swipe your daddy's credit card for you.

well its 32% and if its on an suv it can be 5%on every window but the frontthey cant be darker than 32. you may never have a cop speak to you about it, but when it comes time for an inspection, good luck better find some where who just wants to collect money and doesnt care about window tint

the law is 32%, but they dont' make 32% film. The film is 35% and combined with the slight tint of the glass it can be down around 32%.

He asked about front windows only, and that's what we're talking about and you even quoted it

yeah, i am stressed, also i hate it when people label me as someone who "swipes my daddys credit card" all because i dont know much about cars or whatever. there arent many things you can say to me to piss me off, maybe 3 or 4 things, but that right there maks me crazy.
