I'm getting tint pretty soon, too. i'm thinking 15% all around. since i have a black on black car, i kind of wondered if i could get away with something lighter and still look just as good.

I have 50% on the front sides and 20% on the rest excluding the windshield. I'll be getting 20% put on this weekend though hopefully. My eyes can't handle the 50%, keeps giving me headaches.

Just had my CS Track tinted this morning. 35% all around. With the charcoal interior, it looks plenty dark and keeps me legal; I don't need extra excuses for cops to pull me over, plus they check your tint during the annual inspections here and will fail you if it's too dark.

how did they tint your whole front windshield? i never heard of that....... **** i may try that.......
id say limo tint all around....... i tinted mine limo in back and rear sides... but now i wanna limo the whole thing again with a black non reflective tint.. because the tint i had installed was reflective to detract heat and on the driver/passenger windows i put like 30% ........ what a waste...

The place where I went to get tinted will do just about anything. But they will only give the "I'm legal" certificate if your tint is in fact legal. I have it in my glovebox in case I get pulled over.

thanks for the heads up
im gonna try to get that done... but i agree it makes a huge difference!!
