Enjoy yourselves and NO drunk Lex driving!

Same to all.

I got a wide panoramic rearview mirror. It looks cool (razor sharp) but everything is smaller now. Hopefully it'll get rid of a blind spot.

Nice, little upgrades are cool. I am going for the window tint tomorow.

What percentage are you getting?

[Sadistic]

Hey guys! Merry X-mas to everyone. I hope everyone had a enjoyable day. I know I did.. Wisconsin.. 43 degrees, Christmas, No snow, which means I got to drive the car all day. Very happy about that. I was going to wait until spring to get Tint, since I figured the car would already be put away for the winter, but with the mild weather we're having, I might try and head up next week and do 20% all the way around. I've gotten so many tickets in the past for window tint on my other cars, nothing too agressive for me. You guys with tint, what do you guys have?

[STOKED]

I have never considered the percentage. What is legal? I was going to go by the discretions of the professional.

theres a certain kind of tint, where it is legal ( in california, since we have strict rules, it shouldnt be illegal for you either) it comes with certificate and its UV protectant. vvery nice tint. ill post it up if i can find a link.

Basically in California you can't have tint in the front windows or the windshield. Only factory tint. You might be able to get away if you put some more brown tint on the window because I believe the factory tint it brown with a strip of black on the top of the windshield. I don't personally know anyone who has been pulled over, but my brother's friends have been pulled over by the CHP (cal highway patrol).

Tinting here in Hawaii is a must and I've been very happy with Formula One films on my vehicles over the past five years. Here'a a link to their web page ... you can find dealers that install F1 there.

Hey man, becarefull with this flu and mad cow epidemic going around.

Maryland is 35% all around except for the front. Very small strip above. I personally have 20% and it looks great. If you get 20%, when the cops pull you over, roll down your windows-all the way.

[STOKED]

...so back and rear. Better than nothin'.

[Sadistic]

wb AWJ, I'm sick as hell too. I don't know what's going on with me. Anyways, here in Wisconsin legal is 35% on the rear 50% on the sides. Anything darker can warrant you a $127 ticket. Second offense is more, with points off your license. I got away with 3 tickets before they finally started taking points off my license before. At that point, I figured it was time to take the tint off. At 25% I really don't think anyone's going to complain. If they do throw a fit, I'll just have to take it off and do it legal.

[southernsc300]

here in tejas its 35% sides and rear, anything more is illegal... so i got 35%, you can go more, i know a guy with 40 something all aound, windsheild and all. its a baby blue m3 and wow it looks good. lexus proviedes an awsome mirror tint (pricey and only looks good on white and silver cars)

oh yah and it reached 64 degrees here in the Dallas area. nice day to clean the car

A few years ago the California Vehicle Code was changed allowing one specific film to be applied to the front two doors of cars / trucks in California.

The legal film is called LLumar UVShield. This film is a light (25%) tint that stops 99.9% of A and B UV from passing through it. It will also stop you from getting a tint ticket. The CHP and some local agencies are now writing the tint ticket as a $77.00 fine (no more fix it).

With the legal UVShield you get a manufactures certificate that your car is legally tinted.

www.ca.gov.dmv section 26780 last three paragraphs describes the legal film and the certificate required.

Question. Have the cops ticket'd you if your windows are rolled down?

[STOKED]

Is that your company Calvin? I called today but did not get an answer.
