Before and after adding 20% tint to the front and small windows. Shall I go darker?

Well it looks good, but with the glare of that pass front window, its hard to tell if it's dark enough... but it surely does look good!

Nice & clean :D
 






Looks good! I wouldn't go any darker.
 






Wanna do mine next???
Last vehicle I had was broken into, and the only tint I could find was some cheap crap that matched. I tried about 4 times, including taking the window out of the vehicle but never got it down. Is there a trick or do you just get what you pay for?

Take it to a tint shop
 






nah, tinting is easy. did you use tons of that glass cleaner/window tint applicator stuff. that's the trick, to use twice as much of that as you think you need. I'll post pics of mine soon, it's about like alpha's, but just the front doors
 






I see you switched you tails??

It looks good during the day, but it kind of sucks trying to see out at night and you seem to be a night person to me if you know what I mean.

Trying to back up in the dark with tinted windows does make it harder to do.

Be careful going over that curb, I would hate to see someone have to come pull you off the curb.
 






Hahahah Perry...very funny

Well if you know what your factory back windows look
like then you know what my fronts look like because it is a perfect match.

I didn't do it myself but thanks everyone if you thought I did. $100.00 bucks and 2 hours later I had a very nice shop do it.

I was thinking of maybe 5 or 10% more...
I don't know....I need to get used to this first.
 






looks good...i have 5% on my black 4 door 91...it sure can be a ***** to put that **** on.
:hammer:
 






Ooooo Yes I took out the tails.
I did a stop payment on my CC.
The place I got them from (procarparts)
on ebay sucked azz and never responded to any emails. The leaked real bad and after getting wet and drying there was dirt and mineral deposits which made them look like crap instead of enhacing my ride. Possible carbon fibers in the future :)
 






truck looks good :) i wouldnt go any darker; i have the same thing as you, 20% all around and all the windows match perfectly; on my old X, i had 5% limo all around (cept the front 2 windows and, obviously, the windshield), and i never saw a damn thing out of those windows, heh. dark limo tint's kids stuff anyway, when you see it, you know its probably a young kid driving (not that theres anything wrong with that, but...well...i guess its just not my thing anymore.)
 












The dark tint enables me to drink and drive and not wear my safety belt in front of the cops....jk

I like the privacy when i am with my girl in the backseat...

:bounce:

Muahahahah!


LMAO:D

I remember those days trying to have some fun in the car without people seeing you.
 






I will let Alpha watch if she's down with it....:D
 






I think it looks good, 5% more would look pretty good too, either way, it's a win win situation.

I wanna get my windows tinted all around, I want it dark enough where you can't really see inside atall unless you press ur face against the window! How dark is that % wise?? Is it legal? and does anyone know how much it will cost me? my only concern is people wont be able to see me flip them off after they cut me off or something, haha jk of course!
