35 or 25% up front is worthless

????!!!! well, the way i see it if ur gonna pay for tint, ur wasting your money if you CAN'T see through it. I had 5% on my old car and it looked nice, but it SUCKED A$$ to drive at night.

I have 20% all windows (including winsheild brow) and it looks (imo) better than the 5% I had on my prelude. It's dark enough to look good, but light enough to not be annoying. And I've already had a verbal warning from the police for my 20% being too dark.

Edit: It cost me $150, lifetime warranty.

i can see through it just fine, and if i couldnt see out the sides at night for some reason, instead of crying about it roll your windows down!

Besides its only hard to look outside in, its easy to look from the inside out.

I have noticed that our review mirror makes things look slightly darker than they really are. so if i look through it at night i cant really see anything behind me unless there is a car with its headlights on.

about 300$ for 20% sides and rear, as well as "sun shield" tint strip on the top of the windshield. I got mine from Solar Solutions, i think its a franchise or something so you might be able to find it. Lifetime warranty-- and best of all it looked perfect from the moment i got it. No bubbles, scrapes, nada.

i can't tint my front sides

i heard i can get a doctor's note cuz i do have sensitive eyes. I tend to forget my sun glasses at times, so tinting the sides as well as the front would help. SO can someone validate this for me? doctor note > state polices XD

in MO i THINK not sure but i THINK its 20% legaly with doctors note. The thing is most cops probably wouldnt know bout this 20% limit with the note so u might get away with more if u wanted. Then again there might not even be a limit.
