I want mine done one of these days but I may have to wait until it's not my daily driver anymore. She doesn't like the visibility issues and has a hard time at night already. i'll be doing 25 up front and 5 in the rear.

i might do 35% since in iowa the legal flow light is 70%. my dad has 20% all the way around on his earnhardt but its not a daily driver. i might do 25% i just want something to protect my signed dash piece signed by dale earnhardt jr.

I had mine limo'd out all the way around....In michigan front and doors are illegal to tint.....But I tinted the doors limo as well as the rear and qquarter panel....added a light tint to the front windsheild (with the factory tint) and a Limo eye brow on top of that.....It looked kick butt with the Car black as well..got a lot of compliments and trophys at car shows with it......I went back to work in 2000 til I retired in 2004...Fortunately the law couldnt touch me since i had a doctors letter and note explaining the reasoning for the tint....
However now its the mrs daily driver..since I retired in 2004...she still works for a living...she has another 8 yrs til her retirement....But I had to have the door tint removed because she was getting stopped every cpl of days for it ( they said since i wasnt in the car..my accredidations didnt cover her.. )....and was tired of the harassment...

I'll see if I can come up with a Pic of it with the tint.... and post it...It really did add to the overall appeal of the car....

I also limo'd out the Quarter windows and the rear on my silverado...and did 35% on the door windows with a Limo Eye brow....
I think with the combination of limo and 35% really sets it off!! maybe u may want to use this combination for yours! and i dont get hassled by johnny law either!!!
