    Me too. I went to a local radio/tint/alarm shop. Just look around. As long as it comes with that lifetime warranty its all good. It only take 35-45 minutes to do the front two. It shouldnt be that expensive as you guys are saying.

    Company here quoted me 73 or 80$ depending on which brand of film matches the rears the best, since I'm gonna get em tinted to match. Might go in this week, not sure.

    Is it legal to tint the front windows?I heard its illegal here in Newfoundland to go over a certain percentage (unsure what % though). I know my uncle actully got stopped by the police and told to take the tint off.

    All depends on where you are. Laws are different place to place, as is enforcement stress (like lots of places the cops could care less until they pull you over and you are an ass...then they just tack the tint ticket on to that first one to add insult to injury)

    FL- 35% is legal on the fronts, 20% the rest of the way around...Your laws could be different.

    In PA, the fronts have to be 70%...is that even tinted? I'm going with 30% and know that it is illegal but I know several people running 20% and they have never had a problem.

    I would never mouth off to a cop but am sure that would add an extra fine to my ticket if I did.
