ok, how about those who are not friends with the shop owners....

I called this one place down here in Austin that supposedly does good work and asked them about tinting the fronts 10% or 15% (I think 25% is the legal limit here), and the guy I talked to on the phone told me to come in one day and talk to the "main" guy. He said if I don't act like an ass and be cool about it, he will more than likely do it.

If not, I'll just take my happy ass back home and get a guy in my hometown to do it, no questions asked.

I have 30% on the windshield, and double layer of 20% over 7% on everywhere else.

Here in Georgia, you use to be able to get a tint permit so I got one a couple years back before the tint law went back to place.

i really want 50% but i just cant do it. Not only harder to see, but its SUPER illegal and just asking for big trouble, esp when (like me) have really dark tint all around the car with loud exhaust.

My rear pass/ driver and back window on the superduty register 0% on a "tint checker"

front pass/ driver register 3%

Windshield is about 30%

With the black interior, and the sides being so dark, 30% gets the effect on the front without being too dark. Ive never regretted it, no glare.

In Georgia, if you do get a tint ticket, you simply present a "receipt of removal" and the ticket goes away.

What Ive noticed with tint tickets is it wont usually get you pulled over, but if you are already on the side of the road for something else, you are probably gonna get hooked up.

i really want 50% but i just cant do it. Not only harder to see, but its SUPER illegal and just asking for big trouble, esp when (like me) have really dark tint all around the car with loud exhaust.

+1. I probably wont mess with tint on the cobra, that would be too easy for the fuzz.

so like asked b4, do any of you with tinted shields have a yearly inspection sticker on the window?? what do they do about that? do they tint the hole window and then put a clear thick vinyl in the area where the inspection goes?? Like in mass we have stickers in the lower right corners.
They use a razor blade to scrape the old 1 off, i'd hate for them to f*** up the tint on there.

5% sides, 35% on the windshield. IMHO, don't do any darker than 35% on the windshield for a DD car.

Here's 20% sides, 47% front:
