I am thinking about getting tint pretty soon, and i was wondering if Llumar or sun-guard is a better brand. any others? i've heard better about llumar tho. i kinda want to stay legal, and in Texas i think the limit is 35% in the front, and i dunno the rear?? Any one know?

 

I would do 5% in the rear and 20% on the doors and no sunbanner, because you have the reg cab with only 3 windows it wont be to bad. Look at my truck, link in the sign. I have 5% all around and no sunbanner on the front.

 

I have like 35 or something on the sides i'd have to look at my GE sig. I want it darker though and i need the driver's side redone since the tint has tears in it. I am gonna get like 15%, 5% is a lil dark for me.

 

Question about tint since I have never done it before.....is it the lower the number the darker the tint?

 

yup, i dunno why tho, it might be how much light it lets through. ?

 

I believe that is correct. I'm thinking of 20% all around and a banner. I'm pretty sure 20% is legal in Florida. 8)

 

the lower the number the lower the percentage of light allowed to pass through.

 

5% is legal limit for the rear, and 35% for the front, but I've got 5% all around. If you want a place that'll do tinting cheaply (legal or otherwise) E-Race car stereo on W 18th. between E and W TC Jester.

 

in most states the rear can be as dark as u want. at least for inspection. check ur local DMV or search for a really neat site that lists all the tint laws...tintlaws.com? i dunno

 

Thankfully in FL we have no inspection. I've seen a few 5% all around. I think I'm going to do 5% all around except front which will be darkest legal. All black looks good but I wanna be safe too...of course backup lights will then be necessary....

 

I have 5% on the rear 3 windows, and backing up at night is a religious experience. 35% on the front doors is kinda too light for my taste, but it's legal.

It's the darkest legal limit, but I really do need to add some supplemental lighting. It really is nice to keep tailgaters from blinding you, or to hide your stereo from prying eyes.

 

go with LLUMAR!!!! DONT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!

the tint guy around here actually gies a lifetime warranty on the llumar tint he uses (providing it's legal)

its great stuff!!!!!! the best on the market
