The guy felt kind of bad and started to wipe it down with paper towels...
"STOP I said"... I kind of startled him! My BB color is so easy to scratch...
I wanted to keep it legal so I opted for 35%. I must say it's much lighter then expected.
Factory SUV's and Pick-ups come with an OEM limo tint (almost). I wonder why that's legal?
At least it's one piece in the rear window so I didn't have the horizontal lines.
It'll be interesting to see if my auto-dimming feature mirror works now.

Also, my mirror works like a champ.

Mine looks much lighter in the daytime when the sunroof shade is open. Just something to remember for those who have the sunroof 
. For awhile after I got the tint done I would open it up when pulling up next to a cop,if it wasn't already open. Or if they were behind me. I was more worried about getting a fix-it ticket and having to remove it. Now I just don't give a crap about it, they don't give me a second look.

LOVELY......... start vent:
I threw on some 35% tint, all around, four days ago. Last night on my way back from the grocery store (which is 1 mile away from home) I get pulled over for tint. Talk about luck... obviously, with a legal limit of 50% I figured there was always a chance it could happen. Honestly though, 35 is not that dark, and I see people everyday with 10-20%....... $130 fine......... that is a lot of beer......
:end vent
My question is, does anyone know how this affects your record? Having tint is not a moving violation, so it wouldn't impact your insurance or anything, but would it go on your criminal record? Vehicle record? If I do not remove the tint and (hypothetically) got pulled over again, would that officer see that I had been tagged before?
