Did you do the front windshield strip too? I asked the guy and he said it was $20 extra on top of 140 to do 35% all around or 160 for 35% fronts, 20% backs. So 20 for 5" sounds like a lot to me, I looked through the rides, and can't find many clear enough shots figure out how many of you did the windshield strip... So who has one, and is it really worth it?

I thought about getting the strip across the top of the windshield, but the tint dealer said because of the laws it was not worth the trouble (in other words, not worth their time for the amount of money I would pay them I guess), but I'm very happy with out it.

My mom has it on her car, and she loves it.

Just curious... HOW ILLEGAL IS THAT? I was shown by the shop that anything more than 35% on a car was illegal, they would do 20 if I wanted, but at my own risk, so how did you pull off 5%

that is true in some aspects. do your front driver window and front passenger window, can be dark as 35% and any other window on your car can be up to limo tint if you want..i have a coupe front window are 35% and 2 sides and rear are at 10 % i have gotten pulled over for speeding and misc reason. and cops have never said anything about my tint.... this all assuming you live in MASS ?????

I paid $80.00 flat for 10% tints all around, this guy was near Dyckman in Washington Heights, Manhattan. I decided not to go with the front tinted b/c I was going to leave that for the club sticker. But the dude was going to charge me $10.00 extra to do it. And the job was excellent, no bubbles or anything. And the tint has been on for over a year and it still is smoke not faded like most people that it looks like purple.

Boilermaker1,

5% is illegal in Indiana, however the law here is very fuzzy about the % of visibility. (my uncle is a State Policeman and he gave me the scoop on the tint laws!)

Just make sure your windows are down if you get get pulled over!
