He said he's heard of quite a few people getting busted for that. 20% isn't legal either but he said the only time he has heard of anyone getting busted for that is if there was another infraction.


My last MC was a '97 LS. The guy I bought it from had the windows tinted already. From looking at the pics on here, I'd say they were 20%. I was never for busted it or even asked about it. Looking around at cars I see I around here, I see quite a few cars that have what I'm pretty sure are 20% (or darker). My son has also had 20% all the way around on his Impala SS and never had any trouble. He had 35% on his windshield too.


Did you guys do this yourself or have it done? He wants $149 for 20% on all windows except for the windshield. Looks like I can get the pre-cut stuff for $24 on fleabay. If you did it yourself, was it difficult?
$149 for all the windows is a good deal, have it done professionally, that way is done right and looks good and most likely will have a warranty. Sure its easy to do, but its tough to do right. Better to spend the money and have it look good.

That's kind of what I was thinking. It's a pain in the butt to crawl into the back seat just to clean that steep back window. I'd hate to be back there trying to put film on straight with no bubbles.
