Default New window tint

Well it has been forever since i have had time to use the internet for any lenth of time, but since I last posted here I have done several new things, not just to my car, but for my life as well. I have a job now, starting at the university of north florida in august, and some other stuff that is not nearly as important as my vehicle status (joke)! Well I decided to keep my honda rather than go the Nissan route after fuel hit 4 dollars a gallon here and I realized my car was getting 40 miles per gallon. So I still have my civic, although rather than upgrading it much, I have been repairing it, I had a minor accident that did a good bit of damage but it did not damage the frame in any way, then my passenger side got scratched up by a tree, and a couple of other expensive mishaps happened to her. BUT all in all it is good.
I got window tinting installed (20% all around). And will soon have my spoiler installed. Well I know this type of thread is completely worthless without pictures, so here you go

that thing is clean as a whistle bro.
i've been wanting to do my own tint on my car because i know how to, i just don't knoww here to buy cheap tint?
where did you get yours from?

i've been confused on if i want to go with 5% (it's illegal here..) or 20% but i'ma go with 20 because it looks good enough for me.

I got mine done at a shop, car stereo world here in town, they did a really good job and it was 120 dollars. Doing it yourself is kind of hard lol but I think that pepboys and other places like that sells the film. I definitely would go with 20% or 15% at the lowest, 5 looks awesome, but at nigh it is very hard to see out o the windows or backwith 5%, it is difficult even with the 20 on roads with no lights.

Here the legal limit is 30% up front and 15% in the rear, I just got 20% all around, it is light enough to where cops wont pull me ver for it, and dark enough to where it looks good and nobody can see in without being right by the car.

If you do it hough, take pictures

It's actually 28% but close enough. Just letting you know.


Anyway, looks good. How'd you get a shop to install illegal tint? In my area they won't do it.
