thanks

I paid $150 for 15% on all windows, and mine is Solar also, I think. Looks good, that's all that matters. I just hate the dot matrix around our windows, looks odd there.

yea florida is cheaper, i paid $90 for a silver/mirror, its only 40% wich i love cuz it looks much darker seeing as how the mirror keeps you from being able to see in and blocks hella much sun. also easy to see out and its legal here in maryland (we have tint laws unlike you, z-lite, in fl...im jealous) anyways its a very classy look and i suggest it to all
(i will post pics of my car one day!)

Back in the day when I first bought the car, it was about 20% all around for 130.

Now if I'm contemplating tinting my front windshield with 50% mirror. Our dashs suck up heat!

I paid $90 for 5% (limo) front and rear. Yeah! those dots on the edge of the rear windows suck because some parts dont stick very well. It makes the tint look like there is an outline around the edges.

^^That's what I thought because here in Cali, even the front driver side window and front passenger side window can not be tinted no matter how light. It's just more noticeable if it's darker like how mine is.

People in Cali do it all the time. The folks that get pulled over are the ones driving like morons.

I paid $100 to get mine done with limo which is actually 3% (according to police light meter). It's also true you'll usually only get pulled over for tint if you're doing something else like driving like an idiot.

Most states have a tint statute, in fact most of the people here are in violation, I know I am.

I tinted mine 50% in front, 5% back three and 5% front window strip. It's illegal here in Cali to tint driver and front passenger windows.
