Default RE: tint???

depends on the state...your local tint shop would be able to tell you, they generally won't do anything "illegal", or at least they won't give you a receipt or warranty for it

I have limo tint on quarters and back...30% on front that's legal in TX as far as I know. Most importantly: PUT FELT ON THE INSIDE BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE PLASTIC MOLDING, or have the shop do it for you...if not, your tint will eventually have vertical scratches. I didn't do it the 1st time and ended up having windows tinted over again (under lifetime warranty but still a pain).

Search threads for "tint" to find other details on the felt issue

I personally think that 20-35% is what looks really good while providing fine visibility inside the car. Legal here in St. Louis is 35%. Don't forget your felt!

Yes... don't forget to add the felt in the window frame. Any reputable shop will inform you up front that you need it. Most have the knowledge of exactly what is legal..... different in each state

I have 5%, yes it is dark, but it looks Hot on my car. Plus when it's 115 degrees in Phoenix this summer, it helps a lot!

hey, is that KIWA where you took that shot of the Euro? I fly out of KFFZ (fixed wing), but I've done plenty of touch-and-goes at Willie

p.s. Nice GT!
