2 layers of tint.
Alright, so basically my window reg died about 2 months ago and I didnt replace til about a month or whatever ago. When they put the new one in, it went against my window and scratched up my driver side window tint. So I had to get it stripped and retinted. That cost me like $35. Than I asked to get another layer of 25% on the rear windshield. So he did that and together it was only $60 so i was like whatever, thats pretty cheap compared to the other quotes I got just to get it stripped. One place wanted to charge me 40 just to get the driver side tint off. ha! But oh well, i got the rear window tinted over so now there are two layers of 25% My guess is that its now about 5% tint. Its dark as shit. I stick an all white cup in the rear window and couldnt see it from not that far away. I also took some pics today after she was washed. I'm pleased with it. It's dark as shit at night. Now to get tail light tint and i'll be set..oh..and a drop.

Actually, it hasnt been that bad. I havent really had a problem yet. Then again, ive only driven 2 nights with it on but if a cars behind me I can still see the lights. The main reason why i added the 2nd layer was because trucks and suvs are so high up that they would directly shine right into my car to the point where it was so annoying/blinding. So I was fed up with it and got them darker. Now they dim the lights a lot better and I have no complaints.

I was going to put 5% over the already 25% on the back but that would of been straight black vinyl, haha. Im glad I didnt do that. I got the look i wanted though and so far i havent had any cars blind me at night.
At night, if you turn the lights on inside, you can see in very easily. So if I do ever get pulled over at night, thats what i plan on doing, turning all the lights on so the cops dont have to call back up and blah blah...because ive heard that its been done before because of dark windows. Then again, at night, all cars look pretty much tinted.

yeah, but you still get shit for it. Since theres no law, some of the police kind of make up their own law. Then again, if they want to pull you over, they're going to find a way no matter what.

at both of our pictures being on a slant.
naw, i was sick the whole day and i took it in and he wasnt there, so i left it there than i had to go to the doctors and i didnt care enough to call up cause i doubted he had the sand paper. he left a decent size air bubble on the driver side when he redid it so im hoping maybe he can fix that and see if he can heat the tint than sand it and reapply it or just scrap it and whatever. I guess we'll see. I think he pushed the ones on the passenger side in and it looks better.

I heard having double tint causes adhesion issues, any seen yet? I have limo all around and yes, driving at night is hell. On dark roads, I have to roll the window down to see to either side
For running the red light...if it was close at all, get the traffic info as far as timing/structure of the intersection. Figure out the time it took for your car to go through the intersection at the given speed. Lastly,

i do. i have those blue ones he has there^ I guess for some reason i thought that since one is like 9005 and the other is 9006 i thought maybe the housing is diffent as far as what fits and what doesnt.
If thats the case, ill swap my highs into the low beam spot and my old high beams back into their highs spot. That would work right?
