*Window Tint*
Well i tried to bring a "Window Tint" thread back from the dead but it didnt work? Anywho....
I cant decide which % to get, ive been debating on what % to get since i had thought or the law in TX used to be 35% and i just check and its 25%. So im thinking of going with either 20% or 25%? IDK if there's a big difference from 20% to 25%?
i like the way this looks! and this is 20%
just wanted to make sure i was reading it right, if someone can overlook this for me and tell me im right about the % of the tint.
This is the link i got the info from. this is for the whole state of TX right?
