^^wrong about the side windoes.....i've got 15% and it aint bad.

 

cant say i can help you.i have 4% all way around....

 

In the pic I have 28% (FL limit) on the sides and double 5 on the back.



My Final plans for the truck (years off) after the motor swap and lift and tires is to murder it with double 5 in the rear, 5 on the sides and 20 on the front. But I live in FL...we actually know how to tint windows here.

 

thanks you guys
could you post pics of your 5% rears it seems many of you have that
Thanks Jordan

 

dangaranger99 i have always loved that hood. makes your truck look beast.

 

I rock 20% on every vehicle i ever owned and never go into trouble with five O. Maybe i am lucky. On my ranger it had the tint in the back from factory but i got 20% over that too, along with the fronts. And a strip on the windshield that is 5%.

 

how much are you guys payin for your tint jobs? cuz their quote seemed high 175-200 bux

 

that quote is pretty fair if they're gonna strip the old tint to do it right. I ran 5% on the back and sides and 30% on the front sides of my wagon, and I got hassled by the law dogs, but no tickets. The quotes for that car was around $300-$400 because of the glass area, so I just did it myself.

 

Thats pretty reasonable for a professional tint job. If done right its not a 20 minute job...its pretty involved and a royal PITA

 

ok i just like to do my research cuz i hate getting ripped off and overcharged

 

I think i paid 170 and it is warrantied against peeling and tears and stuff.

 

yea this place has it all cut by a computer thing and it comes with lifetime warranty on "legal" tint so im hoping the front doesnt have any problems down the road
it was said above that the stock tint has to be removed is this true?????

 

what kind of tint shop only does 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80?

I've never heard of that in my life.

 

No stock tint doesn't need to be removed. Big time b.s.

 

haha yea when they told me that i was like wtf well that totally ruins my plans

ok thats good to know i dont have to have them remove the factory tint
thanks

 

dude, i'd go somewhere else.

go with someone who doesn't tell you you have to remove your stock tint.
and who actually does normal tint shades.
haha

 

I paid 180 for 5% all around. I had a car done with legal tint. They told me the law in FL. is 20% in the rear and 35% up front. The 35% was so light that it almost wasnt worth having it put on, but it wasnt my car so oh well. The percentage of the tint is only a gauge of how dark it is. Its not the % of light coming through. 5% tint only blocks 60% of the light. I bought a box of 5% tint to double my windsheild strip and it says it blocks 60% of light.

 

They didnt tell me it had to be removed some one here did
the only reason im going there is cuz the other places aroud here are known for crappy tint jobs ive heard from 6 different people that went to other shops and they all had to have their tint redone at the place im going to
it's the only reputable shop around here

 

I think CA law lets you have 20% on the front 2 windows and 5% on the rear. A CHP, and PD told me that 20% is legal on the front 2, since I always got pulled over in my old car with 5% all the way around. But that was 3 years ago and I never know what they hell kinda of law CA is going to come up with next!

 

I think California law is 70% up front( which is nothing ). I don't think you can have any tint in the front. I just got 5% in the front of mine and i LOVE it.

 

ya the law is 70% front and the back can be any %

 

Hey guys i finally got them done I got 35% front and 10% over the stock tint so its pretty dark on the back
the 0 20 40 60 80% was just B.S. they had regular tint
heres some pics tell me what you think
thanks Jordan

 

Looks good man, I think tinted windows are like wheels and tires, they definately make a vehicle look 100x better. Just my .02

 

thanks

 

yup, looks goood
