Tint time......
So I'm thinking to have my cars windows tinted finally. Looking at doing FormulaOne (Llumar) Premier Series Tint; "Premier 20" on the back window and "Premier 35" on all sides. I usually do the darkest tint on the rear window and rear sides and then a lighter one on the front sides. But this way, it will not have that transitional change between the two different tints on the side windows. Has anyone done this? Pictures?
It's going to cost $250. Seems high, I know. They quoted a little less a couple months ago. But they have done my cars over many years and always do a perfect job. They also have the patterns on a computer now, so they can plot it out, w/o having to cut it out on the outside window.

Thats what I did...
20% on all the rear, 35% in the front. Llumar tint, $140. Looks hot, even though its illegal, but I haven't had any trouble (knockin on wood). I recommend it!

Actually, I'm thinking to just do the rear window with 20% and then 35% on all of the F/R sides....
That way, you do not see any transition between the 20% & 35% tints from the drivers window to the rear passengers window. Having only the rear window done with 20% helps more with other headlight glare.

30% Titanium all around...... perfect darkness IMO

All I know is; this is the Premier Series which comes in 20/35/50.
The Comfort Series comes in the 4 shades (and the one up from that, I think as well, which has a green cast to it- can't recall the name). I think the place must be current with what tints are available, because they have been doing this for almost 20 years.

I'm doing 20% on rear window only. All side windows (F/R) driver/passenger will be 35% so they match
The rear is 20% for better glare reduction (headlights). I have had my cars done all dark before. And though it looks cool, it's a Cop magnet. Plus, I'd like to have some visibility from the outside, looking in. The car looks too nice to "black out".
