Go to Best Image in San Mateo. Guys over there are really cool and tinted my windows in a couple hours. Also they let me know that if I get a ticket for my front tinted windows, then I could go back and they'll remove it, and then put it back on again after they check it. BTW, I got 5% in my rear window and rear passenger windows. I got 20% in my front windows and I have never gotten a ticket yet ever since 2004.

Uzzle, why would you tint the front windows darker than than the back windows? That would look weird.

^^ The lower the percentage, the darker the tint. That's why when you said you were going to do 50% in the front and 15% in the back, I was confused.

Vince at Omega Tint Werks does phenomenal work. He is located in Pleasonton though.

I have 20% all around and I just got a ticket last week while parallel parking the car. SF motorcycle cop just drove up to my door and signaled for me to stop. He didn't even turn his lights on. It was like 7am when I was about to go to my barber. No way I'm driving with the windows down at 7am when it's hella cold. It's ok... it's the pice you have to pay for having a blacked out car.

Warranty is lifetime and I paid $200. I think it is usually $250 for my car but because I am on G35Driver, he hooked it up. I know places are cheaper, but honestly, when it comes to my car, I don't want just anyone working on it. Where I work, I see so many cars with @#%$ tint jobs.

It seems like it depends on the car. My boys explorer has never been pulled over, yet my boys '87 Regal has been pulled over a grip of times.

just for clarification, 70% is the legal limit for the front. too bad 70% is basically no tint

and i agree, it depends on what car you drive as well. if a bmw or a benz would have illegal tint and a beater car would have one too, i guarantee you they would pull over the beater every time
