I like tinted windows but you should be mindfull of the grade of tint and the fact that you can be stopped at the roadside and made to tear some of it off if it's too dark

Your's does look fairly dark but that may just be the picture.

Watch out for those pesky bubbles

I think it's ok if it's just the back windows and screen, things get a bit iffy of you tint the front doors and downright dodgy if you tint the windscreen.

the rear is limo black, gets the sun out the kids eyes...and looks nice

ps bubbles are easy its those blooming 'fingers' that are a pain to sort out

im doing the front in light smoke, just tinting for tinting sake. as it looks a little odd with just the rear tinted to i want to put a little darkness on the fronts to even the look out slightly

Careful with that fella, the windows are probably slightly tinted anyway and if so even the lightest extra tint will make the front ones illegal. I remember reading this stuff ages ago (might even have been on here) but I can't remember the numbers. I'd suggest a google

the tint i bought for the front lets in 85% the min is 75% so as long as the std isnt 10% i should be fine

Got a funny feeling it's 15% standard

But the law says 70% let through for the front side windows (75% for the windscreen)....

Yeah I googled too

lol that doesnt work, my calibra has tinted windows with black leather seats and it is nearly unbearable in the summer...i think i should probably get some cream leather for it, when i get the bugger running again

i think the fronts may be a little to dark.....is there anywhere i can get them tested?....also done the rear screen, man was that a job and a half and i messed up the bottom of the film

ay up, the site has cut off half the photos?
