It's that dark because I feel that my car is like my little sanctuary. I don' t want people to see me unless i want to be seen. And I usually have all of my windows down when I'm driving. But when I park, it's nice having a seat that doesn't burn the hell out of you when you get back in.

No, i think the legal limit is 35% on the front and 20% on the back. But I don't care and I've never gotten a ticket for it. Been pulled over several times in my camaro with limo tint on all of the windows including the entire windshield and never got a ticket for it. I've had friends that have gotten tickets for it, but it's only like $80.

Looks good but safety is a concern with tint that dark. I had limo tint on my first car ('71 Ols Cutlass). I could pretty much see just the headlights of cars around me at night in areas without streetlights.

It's my friend's shop, he's in Clearwater. It's called Stereo Werkz.
The shop # is 727-531-1500
As for pricing...... like I said, he's a good friend, but i'm sure he won't charge more than $150 if that....

looks awesome but its way too dark for me. I had 5% on my car a long time and when backing up in a dark area I had to lower my windows just to see the mirrors.
