Second that!

I'm going within the next few weeks to get 35% on my bsp (darkest we can legally go, right?). Like to get an idea how it looks!

I will try to get pics 2morrow, but honestly, its more of a subtle difference than anything. It sucks that 35% is the limit in MA. I think a 25% would look better, but then again, I dont want the hassle of removing tint to pass inspection.

The one that I go to doesnt really care, (they passed my old honda with bunch of illegal shiz) but Im at the point where I dont want a hassle or deal with a fix-it ticket. When I was at the tint place, they had an Altima that came in with illegal tint. They charged him to remove old tint and put new legal tint. Sounds like a waste of money to me on many diff levels.

it may not be the best tint you can get, but it's very good for the money and i know a lot of ppl who have done it there. the guy who did the tint has been doing tint for like 20 years or something and is very good at it.
