I just got busted today in CA for 35% up front. Looks like the police are cracking down way more nowadays... Be careful in CA!

How much are you guys paying for formula 1 pinnacle tint? And for the guys having 35% all around, are yall still happy with that tint percentage or regret not going darker?

I paid 250 2 years ago for an accord. For my IS had 30% 3M ceramic and had to get another layer of 30% carbon film for all the windows and 50% for the windshield after about a month....

3M FX Premium - Carbon Film! 20% all the way around...Looks Darker because of the nature of Carbon Film.... SUPER BLACK!

TINT ROCKS.... Avoid different percentage tints throughout the vehicle... with the light that comes in the windshield the color already looks off set.

I agree 30-35% is too light. I have 20% and it looks very good.
