I think tinting the windshield is illegal in FL but do you have any pics it sounds pretty sweet. How dark is 5% all around and has anyone done there own tinting with good results?

Shhh.....all the cops and HP's that I pass everyday with my tint on my front windows might hear you!


Just dont go pitch balck and you'll be fine. I had my front windows of my Yukon tinted to match the back windows. I have ZERO issues with police officers. As long as they can see you in the car, your good. Ofcourse, if you drive like an idiot the windows will give them a reason to pull you over but they will not pull you over because of the windows. I've stopped and talked to officers in Tracy and rolled my windows down as I pulled up. No what happened? nuttin.

moregrip---windshield are illegal here to but hell so is street racing. dah well. i see no reason why you couldn't tint your mirrors you would just have to get some exterior tint. my only question is like my mirrors have the turn signals and are heated. would the heated mirrors make tint bubble?

Go like 20%, looks good and keeps highbeams looking dim.

Oh and according to the ca. law as long as your side front windows let 70% light though you should be legal.

I've had my windshield tinted for like 3 years now and have never had a problem with cops. I got a ticket in San Luis Obispo for having the side windows tinted but have never had a problem in the bay area.

pic in avatar.... not a very good picture....

Nice pics man looks good. How much you think it would be to tint all mine down to 5% and windshield to 35? They are already tinted to the legal limit I think. I would say 150 or so but the windshield it probably a lot.

You're probably looking at $200 or so.... I have 20% on my sides but peoples headlights still bother me from the drivers mirror. I'm thinking about getting the mirror tinted... green, or something..? I have HIDs that blind the **** out of people all day long so I can't really complain...
