First Time Tinting my windows

[Jason in DLH]

Awhile back I ordered RTint 20% Precut front tint for the Yukon. Finally installed it over the weekend!

Although the first window has imperfections and the second one has slightly fewer imperfections I’m happy with the results!



Not sure the PoPo (funny...when I wrote “PoPo” my phone gave me the option of police officers ‍) will be happy though (legal tint for fronts in MN is 50% apparently).

I know the pros can slide it under the bottom window weatherstrip, but I decided to play it safe and remove it...


Now I can pick my n.... ehem, ear and nobody will know.

Looks good. I hate the tint laws. it’s against the law almost anywhere to have the front windows done. But cops seem to be pretty chill about it in eastern PA. I was appalled when I drove through Virginia and I got pulled over. The officer put this stupid thing on my window to test the darkness and then proceeded to write me a ticket.

Same thing happened with my old Jeep that had tires past the fenders a few inches. The local Duluth, MN police were fine about it, but once I got into small towns WI I had trouble.

How much was your ticket?

That’s my state (commonwealth) for you. I tinted the back half of our daughter’s 96 Volvo, nothing up front, and she got ticketed on the way home from college. I went to court and saw the same officer had ticketed 8 others. All were dismissed. In defense of the officer, he had been shot at through tinted windows, so I get it.

I'm sure they look for out of state plates.

they do PA...we were going to go up over Thanksgiving and they were setting up checkpoints for out of state vehicles to present their negative Rona tests...and if you didnt have one, it was tickets or arrested and jail. Neat.

Nobody in FL gives a crap, I have 5% on top of factory with a pretty low AS1 strip and I've had no problems. My USAF plate might help but I don't really know anybody that's gotten hit for tint unless the entire windshield is 5% or it was an add on offense on top of speeding and being an all around a hole.

Typical....

How much was it? The tint shops here will do both front windows for 50 bucks installed, how much could you possibly saved, vs. Looking at a not perfect job every time you see your truck?
