what's the legal limit on tint? I got mine done a while back, but I was expecting it to be darker than it is. I think it's 35%.

Crap! I guess that will be the next thing I do. I went to that executive tint place off of hillcroft. I felt like there were better options around but it seems like they've been open the longest and they offer a lifetime warranty so i went with them.

awww yeah. my tint's starting to get worse but i'm so lazy to get it done.

Probably do 25% on 4 windows and 5% on the back if the legal percentage is actually 25 now

at night, can you see out of the rear window fine with 5%? Like when you're backing out of a parking spot

I thought about doing that but I didn't know if it would look weird to have them different percentages. I also got my remote start done there... They didn't do the best job. Granted, they probably don't get many RL's in there, but I had to go somewhere else to try to get it fixed. That's still a WIP..

Maybe? Lol. I would imagine that we have passed each other if you go to dulles. I'm still in the missouri city/sugar land area.

If I can get them in soon, Sat 11/24 or Sunday 11/25. I want to get the TL ready for the meet. Is there a better way then using a manual compressor?

Dude just buy some coils and call it a day. The headache with springs is not worth it IMO and I can guarantee you are going to want to go lower. I can help you out that weekend either way.

I had Executive do my TL a few months back. My rear deck tint bubbled so I had the whole car re-done. Executive botched the rear quarter glass, even after I made it clear I would not accept any gap. They did fix it, but they had a weird attitude about re-doing it. If you want good tint, get the Huper Optic at EVS on Bellaire. Its worth the price.

+1 on Huper Optik from EVS
Other than that piece of lint(that I have yet to call in about), they're awesome!
