With tint, if you don’t have the money to do it right the first time, you definitely won’t have the money to do it again when the first job goes wrong. I drive 35 miles to go to a tint dealer even though there are at least a dozen within 5 miles of my house. Why? The materials and workmanship are worth it, and the price is about the same as the locals, plus the extra gas and time.

As for legality, my tint is legal in LA, but for cash, my guy will tint anything you want any color you want. Here’s a list (although it’s 2 years old) of the tint laws in all 50 states: http://www.iwfa.com/iwfa/Law_C.....-19-07.pdf or just google “tint laws 50 states”. I’d use this as a starting point, and then verify with your own state, and then municipality. In south LA, many cities have more strict rules for tint than the state does, although most will throw out the ticket if you remove it before the court date…but who wants to do that?

All I know is they better not hassle me at the end of this year when it goes in for first inspection. I’ll just scrape the sticker off.

If I tint my front windows I would do the same as the rear windows to make a uniformed look. I would keep it 50 state legal and for the lifetime warranty I would use LLumar which was on my last 4 vehicles. The guy I had did my 97 Thunderbird’s back glass in one piece. Had that vehicle 6 years and never faded or bubbled much less peeled.

So I went a hybrid method – paid someone to do it although I know it’s not a lifetime install shop and he bubbled and soaped away. I can’t remember the VLT% but it’s supposedly right at the legal limit in TX. Only time I’d be concerned is now they will not allow vehicles to pass inspection if it’s too dark and they have a gauge to know. Anyone know what they use to test VLT% ? The front windows are acceptable but not sure about the back and rear.
