Check your local laws, its different all over, you don't want to have to peel it off on the side of the road. Happened to someone i know, the cop was being a little extreme and said he had to take it off before he could drive the truck any further (so he did to save a tow), looked like crap

5% all around here too!! Love it! 5% on the front two and 20% over factory on all the rears, installed by me. And yes 20% usually matches the factory rear tint. It is so easy to do, I cant even imagine paying a shop to do it now, I'v done so many friends windows now. The front windsheild strip is easy to if you know the secret to shaping the curve!

32% on the 2 front windows but dark as you want on the rest. And the front strip cannot be no lower than 6".

The thing that bothers me about aftermarket tint is that non-tinted strip around the edge. Is there a tint or application method that tints all the way to the edge of the glass?
