    yeah...if you have them put 20% on the fronts it should match all the way around and it'll be decently dark- it'll also be cheaper-which means more money for other mods!!

    20% is a good match, that's what I've gone with for the front on past cars. Unfortunately I had to go lighter this time around. Last time I was pulled over (for having my music too loud of all things) I got ticked up the wazoo. Ticked for: noise violation, illegal tint on the front windows, illegal tinted license plate cover, and tinted tail lights.

    $60-$80 around here, bit it really is depending on where you are and how dark you want.

    but it is worth every penny :D

    This is a few quick shots of my tint at 17% (to mach the back windows). They also came down 1/8 of the way in the front, wasn’t sure about it at first but now I dig it.

    Tinting the windshield and double layers of film absolutely confound me...Nevermind if it's legal or not..you can find where I stand on obeying laws in other threads.

    How can you feel safe driving at night?? If you wreck into anything and there is even the smallest question as to fault...You are going to get hammered because of that.

    Actually you cannot even tell the windshield is tinted looking through it. I will post a pic and show ya. My windows are not double layered. Just the stripe on the windshield. And you dont look through that too drive. I dont anyway :)

    That is true about getting hammered for the tint. And I have actually thought about that. Great point to bring up....Really (not trying to be funny)

    Like I stated before the windshield stripe is the only double layer.
