Default Finally got some tint on the rig

I did some extra work for a guy on the side, and made enough cash to get my windows tinted.... I got 5% all around, was gonna get a windshield strip, but since my mirror is NOT a screw on type, the guy was afraid it might break off a glass on the windshield, so we didn't do that... But i got sides and rear done...

Here's some pix... let me know what you think about it...

(still wish I had some decent rims but I'll roll on steelies til I get enough to change them)...












reflection from bedliner... lol

I just got mine back yesterday from tint. In NC the limit for the front is 30 (which sucks), but the back windows and the rear windshield of mine got presidential limo tint - it's literally impossible to see in which is a plus, but the bad part is it is almost impossible to see cars at night.

ky limit is 35/25 (or basically 30/20)... but I've never gone higher than 15% on anything all around.... I had 5% on my ranger and have 15 on my town car...

Thumbs up Window Tint

Congratulations! It looks neat I also got mine recently, 35% all the way round. I got helpful types from www.TintBuyer.com. They provide relevant information about window tints such as its types, quotations and helped me find the best professional tint installer near my area.
