I went to the best tint shop in town, they quoted me $289 out the door for a full Suntek carbonXP film, lifetime warranty.

Back door 15%
Rear side windows 15%
Back doors 15%
Front doors 25%
Trimmed And matching Ls1 line 5%

3M Color Stable 20% on all sides and rear, 50% on windshield. $400 all total.

I'm very happy with it, and while I'd prefer it a little darker all around, I don't want to get hassled from police. I figure this isn't dark enough for them to bother me as long as I'm not doing anything else to get pulled over.

Another local shop wanted $400 for just the sides and back, no windshield, using Llumar's ceramic tint.20170708_184227-1.jpg

Luckily the law in misery is any darkness up until the front doors, then it's 35% for the front doors.... buuuut, I'm doing 25% , I have 4 friends with total black outs and they never get hassled.... I assume it's because they are more concerned with meth and ****** addicts than writing tint tickets...

And in the country where I live, no-one messes with you unless you are doing 20 over... I wave at the sheriff doing 66 in a 55... oddly, he waves back.. the rule of thumb here is under 0-9, your fine, 10+, you're mine..but that's city rules, in the country where tax payers open carry and have land, they tend to save alone.. they want arrests and duis, not tickets

Sounds like how things are here. Generally keep it less than 10 over and you're fine unless it's a slow day and they need to meet their quota. And same laws on the tint - anything goes on the back, but only up to 35% on the front windows and nothing on the windshield. I don't expect to get hassled though. I've had tint this dark on previous cars and never had a problem.

I have 30% front windows and definitely want darker. But my last truck had 5% up front and got hassles every time I tried to get a state inspection. Never had cop issues though.

I did 20% over the stock 18 in the rear and love it. Perfect darkness back there.

I paid 200 for it, lifetime warranty, lumar ceramic tint. Shop was running a Groupon sale and forgot to advertise extra fees for big vehicles hahaha. Made them honor the deal

NBS is 5% all around with top strip. Less than $200, but cannot remember exactly.

NNBS is 15% all around. $200. Kept it a little lighter for the wife's DD.

Probably get both windshields done at some point.
