I'm getting 20% all around on my car tomorrow - can't wait to have tint back on!

25% is the lowest limit in TX, but I know state inspection facilities that will certify it. Otherwise, I'd be paying a lot of money for a tint job that would have to come off every year.

The only thing different is the "color shade". Most ceramics have a more greenish tint to it. You can see the color difference on my front windshield vs the side windows in the 1st pic.

Not sure on F1 Pinnacle, never seen it in person, or rather. Never bothered to.

LOL!!! That don't work... my bro had tints like that. He drives with window down when cops are approaching. But one winter morning, he got pulled over and cops asked him to roll up his window a bit. Cops got suspicious cuz he was rolling in his car in cold weather with windows down.

What if you refuse to roll your windows up? Can they force you to do it? I guess it could be probable cause if you're driving around with the windows down when it's snowing out... Damn cops.

LOL.

And the first red flag is the 5%-20% tint on all the other windows (partially obscuring the 3rd brake light, limo dark), the cops can see that 1/2 mile away, then they happen to notice how dark the 2 front windows are too.

And the 2 tone-look (light in front, dark in back) is great for airport Lincoln Towncars and taxis, but I don't want it on my Lexus sport sedan.
