^^^ that's what I do. Just don't go to a place that only does inspections, they are like ****'s. I usually go to a place out by princeton, he doesn't care if the car only has three wheels, he will still pass it.

What would it cost for 20% on the front windows? I already have 20% everywhere else.

Usually under $50. It's just finding someone that will do tint on your front windows.

There was a guy in The Colony that tinted one of my windows once after somebody broke into my car. He only charged $20 but I think he went out of business.

The place I've been going to almost didn't pass me just because I had a strip at the top longer than 5".

Yes...the strip at the top of your front winshield.

There is a mark in the center of the window that tells you where it can be.

It's really not bad IMO. I like it to where you can't just see straight through the tint during the daytime (from outside)..

Hey guys I went to Jeremy (06GT350Z) and he did a perfect job on my windows. I got 5% on the rear and 15% on the sides. His prices are great. I'm actually going to have him do my fiance's new Altima and redo my sides to 5%.

If you can't get in touch with him through finding his screen name here then PM me. Oh he also drives an 06 Z (hence the name).

Yep. Have it in my Fiance's G35 too. Work's like a charm.

Quakerroatmeal hit the nail on the head. It turns sound energy into heat.

If you want a cheaper alternative that are great as well. Look at Raamat. If you want premium that are just as much as dynamat I believe and much better, go with secondskin. I like hushmat also because it's black deadening so it looks stock.
