    Pics? They finally updated our tint laws here. We were stuck at 50% max on front 2 for decades. The highway patrol finally agreed 35% didn't put the troopers at risk being unable to see into vehicles. So i want to go 35% ceramic on the fronts...still nothing allowed on the windshield though (sadily) as far as I know. I wonder if I could pay an installer cash to do the windshield. It really bakes through the WS on the hot days here too.

    My work car is 20% up front (safety reasons they go darker, but i still get stopped by pther agencies sometimes for the tint due to it being an unmarked car). and a lot of times I find myself having to roll down the window to find addresses and stuff in the dark. Nice during the day, but can be a PITA at night.

    If you can find someone to do 70-80% on the windshield it is sooo worth it. And you can’t tell it’s on there at all. Blocking the heat and uv is worth it.

    I’ll get a pic but it literally looks stock, you can’t really tell. Windshield isn’t allowed here either (or anywhere I think) but I haven’t had any issues getting it done. Paid with card too.

    So I had a bit of a funky smell in the truck ever since moving to AZ, something the heat brought out I guess. I changed my cabin air filter (that was only a few months old) and sprayed this stuff all over the interior and the odor is completely gone. Left a faint chlorine smell at first but it’s dissipated. Pretty powerful stuff.

    The odor originated from the driver?

    Thank you sir. Think I have the trailer right where I want it now, until I buy the new hitch system.
