Man, coming along in progress. Love the white color. I couldnt use that dark of a tint in Alabama, talking about getting pulled over every 2 days. Thanks for sharing, and keep us updated with pictures.

The tint looks sick man. I regret not going with limo tint instead of the 15% tint I have now. How is the windshield at night and does it make a big difference in heat during the day? I'm getting my windshield done soon and I've thought about going with 30%, but I'll go lower if it makes a big difference.

ok in two pics it seemed like you might of been doing it to the outside thats why i asked :P


as far as the limo tint..usually its hard to see at night if your in a dark area..ie i live in the woods pretty much and down my street theres no street lights and visibility is very low in these conditions..i use to limo tint everything front windshield and all..im definitely against it now id rather have the higher visibility at night then a darker tint for the day..thats just my opinion..

Wow! Limo on the windshield would be crazy at night! I live in a well lit part of town, but parts of my neighborhood are really dark and I have to drive with my high beams on since people walk their dogs at 10:00 at night. Did the 5% on the windshield completely block out heat?

it made a HUGE difference but not completely....i mean i do live in florida with 90+ temps from march to december usually haha..but yea i dont recommend that dark of tint all the way around..i wouldn't even get limo any where on my car now..i just removed my old tint the car came with that was disgusting looking and im debating on tinting..i love the clean no tint look but at the same time lower temps + a little help from the abusive sun on the leather will be worth it imo.
