Default Can You Say "Tint Ticket(s)" Because My Windows Can

I don't have any before or afters, but it's grey interior and the window are see through, to give you an idea of how clear they are. The total cost of the windows were ~$135. I have to wait 7 days to roll down my windows, even though I rolled 'em down three times, state boys, on the ride home. I get to drive my brothers '04 Chrysler 300M.







Taken from my iPhone, pretty decent but not anything special.

No offence but that wasn't a very good idea

That **** is dark as ****. I like it, but you're gonna get tickets and have difficulties seeing at night. Having tint that dark just isn't practical.

Yeah I know, my friends told me to get 20% on the fronts and 5% on the backs but I don't like to listen. I'll just have to roll around with the windows down all the time I guess. lol

Yeah sorry, thought I posted it. 5% all the way around. It looks weird when you're driving, so I'm going to get a 5% 6in strip on the front. I might get the AM window banner or something for the back. I might even do what Slither did on his front with the Silver Mustang Registry banner. Looks hawt.

Thanks guys. When I go back, some time next week to get my receipt singed so I can have my life time warranty, I'm going to have him install a 6in 5% strip across the windshield. I don't want to tint it because for one, I know it's illegal and I can't roll my windshield down. lol

I have 5% all the way around... Its not bad at all... Sometimes I do have to roll my windows down to back up though.... Your's probably only looks so dark because it hasn't settled yet... Nice though

But it's worth it by far. I wish my windshield was a little darker, but either way it's still keeping most of the sun out.
I kind of want to tint my mirrors because of stupid high beam idiots.

looks cool. i love dark tint. you might get a ticket or two. if the cop cars around you are like they are here just look back at the cop car behind you and say "doesn't look any darker than yours"

I went to roll my drivers side window down and the ******* tint ripped on the back end of it. It ripped like 6 inches in a wedge getting closer at the top. I was ******* pissed. I rolled my window up, ripped the piece up a little and matted it down with my credit car and it looks better but still fucked up. I have tomorrow off but the guy also has the day off who did it so I'm going to have to wait until Thursday or even the weekend to have them "look" at it and decide if they're going to cover it. It's been 7 days, like the dude said. I work almost 40hrs a week and attend college full time and I live 2 hours away from this joint, so if this dude gives me **** about not getting my warranty thing signed today, I'll throw that in his face. Plus it's only one window.

5% is definitely dark, I had 2% on the cobra for 1 year before the 5-oh caught me and said no more, It was honestly a hazard though, I used to roll the windows down at night when entering neighborhoods/taking corners and such places that were poorly lit as it was too dark. During the day you could stare at the sun and it wasn't blinding. I have 20% now and like it.

back when I first got it, 2% and the top is down middle of the day and you couldn't see in it:
