I love the tint matching the rear. Too bad I can't do it here. 40% is legal for the front sides.

Do they start to distort after a few years?
I had it done with 3m (which was supposed to be the best) before and after a few years they were no longer clear. So that makes me stay away from doing it again.

I'm getting mine done this weekend. Most places I've seen have a lifetime warranty for any warping, peeling or color changing.

I did every window in the truck, including the two moonroof panels. The interior stays so much cooler on those hot days!

Can anyone recommend a good quality (and price/value) ceramic tinter in Houston? Also do we know what the legal limits are here (or in TX) too? I'd like to tint everything the same darkness as the back windows - including the windshield... is that legal? Thanks!

50% front tint, just enough to really dull out the sun and not have to worry about the cops giving you a hard time.

executive motoring on Gessner, Huper Optik

windshield is iffy

law says clear tint, well theres tint from 70 -93% clear, clear enough?

you're looking at roughly $600 for all incl. windshield, dunno about sunroof $

if you go w/ 20% ft to match the rears and windshield tint you truck will be blacked out.

So for me here in Louisiana, the front windows can only be 40% legally. If I put it the same as the rear, what really will happen? Will the cops pull me over for it? Will it not pass inspection? Will flying monkeys come flying out of my tailpipe?
