You should look into getting a warranty with it, even if it is high priced its still the safe way to go.

5% FTW.... it's not as dark as everyone makes it out to be. The only problems I have is if I'm on a poorly lit road, then I just roll down the windows.

I live in VA. For about a year I had my windows tinted 35% all the way around with no problems. The tint got messed up so I got my whole car redone with 20% around. After a couple months of having it, I got pulled over and ticketed twice within 3 months. I had to take it off and now have 20% on the back and 2 half windows, and 50% on the front 2 windows. It sucks, but atleast I don't get pulled over anymore.

i dunno, guys. two things i never play games with..money, and the police, and this falls into both catagories. for every person that has limo tint and says theyve never been pulled, i know 3 that have gotten 150.00 tickets for it, plus the cops made them take off the tint before they left. in todays sh*tty economy, the government has gone crazy in pulling people for such things. and yes, they have a special tool here that looks like a flashlight that check.

I have limo in the back 3 windows, and 5 or 10 up front, sorry dont remember. I love my limo tint in the back, it just sucks at night because if there is not alot of light out its very hard to see out the back, I have to roll down my windows to see behind me most of the time. But having limo makes it next to impossible to see in my car at night, even with a flashlight. ! Oh, and I paid 150 for mine, with a life time warrenty. If anyone wants pics let me know.

I have limo in the back and 20 in the front, took awhile to get used to being so dark but now that I'm used to it I can't imagine driving a car without it.

Yeah, cops up here in NW Florida don't really care as far anything vehicle inspection wise goes. There are so many rednecks with open headers, people with loud *** stereos, ricers with neon ground effects driving at the same time, and gansta ghetto thugs in their pimped out Caprice with black windows and 22 rims..... I think they have given up with pulling someone over for a BS ticket. You might get a ticket for something like that if you speed and the cop is in a bad mood.

They are big on speeding in certain parts tho. I have seen people driving 35 in a 35 zone, then hit a 25 zone and instantly get a ticket because they didn't slam on the brakes and slow down quick enough (they were slowing down tho, just not quick enough). It was night time too. I think they were tourists going to the beach, so they were probably more concerned about where they were going. THAT'S A BITCH!!!!

^^^^ i checked around at several shops. for a carbon/ceramic tint job, i was quoted as high as 325.00 installed. i could go to the ghetto and get a dyed purple tint job that would like like crap and get me pulled for, say, 150, or so...but i figure id do it right.
