Re: tinting my windows
I have only 35% and I got a warning on it. Depends on the cop and the area to be honest, but the rules is no window tint in the front driver window unless u have a doctors note. The back windows u can do limo tint, but i think it would look lame to have 2 shades of tint on the car.

Re: tinting my windows
i got mines done at Promax here in 626 for like $110. i got limo in the rear and 35% in the fronts. no tickets whatsoever and i live in a cop-loaded city too. *knock on wood* theres nothing wrong with 2 shades of tint on a car. and its not that hard to see at night...dunno what people complain about but i can see mines perfectly at night. UNLESS your'e in a place like ACH or some dark rape alley way where theres no light WHATSOEVER then yea its hard...it would be hard even without tint lol
Re: tinting my windows
Koo koo thanx for the help man and everyone else
ima continue by makin that appointment
i live in the 626 as well ya theres cops but theres plenty of ppl driving around with tint on all the windows

Re: tinting my windows
make sure its metallic tint. if its not its gonna fade and turn purple. Make sure its johnson or 3m tint. I had limo tint all around on all my cars. It is dark at night but you do get use to it. Once your use it, its not too bad. Just roll down your windows when you see cops..simple.
Re: tinting my windows
I have 20% on the driver and passenger windows and I think overall it looks ok. You can tell there are two shades of tint, but 20% hasn't really given me any trouble. But as everyone said, it depends on where you are and whether or not the cops happen to be out looking for people to pull over with front tints.
I've had 35% in the front before and with my tan interior, it didn't look good/hardly looked tinted.

Re: tinting my windows
I had mines limo all around done like 3 times and I got busted for all of them. And the latest one cost me 430. Cuz I was under age driving at night. And yellow headlights and had my friend that was on house arrest in the car with me that night.
But limo all around will look sik. JUST BE CAREFUL k.=)

Re: tinting my windows
Dont get two windows darker than the other 2 that just looks dumb..
yes its harder to see out of limo tint when its dark and a price for 4 and black window should be around 120 to 150. no more that 150 or ur are getting rapped! good luck!

Re: tinting my windows
In the day time 15% metallic will look closer to 35% dye since all the light thats coming into the front windshield will make the tint seem lighter in the day.
He probably saw your bright *** bronze rims and decided to pull you over and probably just gave you a ticket for the tint when he pulled you over.
Re: tinting my windows
i've had limo tint all for over 5ys on all my cars. i still have it on my mercedes. rolling down the windows always worked for me. Metallic tint is also less dark then the dye kind.

ps. the rims are GOLD !!!haha
also, tint on a mercedes will probably have a 98% chance of never ever getting pulled over, that's one luxury of having a bmw/mercedes...
