!!!$80 wow what a steal. I want 20% all around like my other cars but since the prev owner of my 8 had tint installed it will cost me $225 to have it stripped and put back on.. for that price.. I will just keep what I got.

I have 20% all around as well.

I had darker 5% before on my other cars as well as 10% and 15% as well. You may THINK that anything darker than 20% will work, but it really does hinder some of your abilities to see at night. Especially with a car with as many blind spots as the RX8!

Stickers look horrible. Nice tints though. I wish that NY would allow more than 70% tints. WTF, might as well say no tints at all since 70% is basically nothing.

Isn't stock like 74? In Jersey we're not allowed tint on the front but that law can suck my tailpipes.

"Front Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Rear Window Any darkness can be used."

"Front Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance.
Back Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance."


I don't like the idea of getting tickets. Driving a VR rx8 in NYC is already obnoxious enough .
