From what I know from experience (pulled over with 4 different cars for tint), in Cali you can't have driver and front passenger windows tinted at all. Even though cops aren't usually worried about it but it is a reason to pull you over. I remember one time I watched a CHP racing inbetween cars way behind me. Cutting people off in a hurry. I started to move over thinking it was a real emergency until he got behind me and turned on his lights. Turned out it was for my tint that was extra lite. Anyways with my XB, I went to a shop I've been going to for years and asked to have the fronts the same color as the factory tint. They did it but not to happy with it. From outside it looks real good but from inside you can see the fronts are a little darker then backs.

Had mine done last Monday. 15% Drivers/Passengers windows. Rear were "Privacy" from the factory. Match perfectly. Did the front Windshield strip 5" down as well. 174.00 with tax. But I do a trade with this company so it's worth it.

Yeah, I stopped to grab some food last night and my wife was in our '07 Tundra which the front windows are 15% to match the rest of the rear windows. Illegal in WA. Cop came out of the restaurant and went right up to the window to see if anyone was in the truck. She thought she was going to get a ticket for the window tint. However, wouldn't hold in court on private property.

The shop that has done all our cars and shop cars always does the windows to match. Never had a problem with them. Never been pulled over either in any of our cars including driving the race car on the street...LOL

Anyway, we are looking to moving to the Glendale/Surprise area in a few years. My business would do great there. www.wxmotorsports www.wxsigns.com

500+ dollars? Holy cow! I don't care what anyone says about their product, install, warranty.

Lumar all the way around on mine and it was a fraction of that.
