The pics don't do any justice. I love it. And he did it for only $125. Its his standard rape for HP tint. All my buddies at work wanted his phone number lol

I will say that backing up at night is nearly impossible if you don't use the side mirrors. And the first day I had it I was worried I was gunna get pulled over because the legal limit for the front windows is 35% but I don't worry about it anymore. But I totally love the look and the temp difference inside the car.

I have 5% on all my windows- at first it was a pain in the rear, but now I've gotten use to it. I think in time you will adjust also.

The thing that still gets me is backing into a parking space-- my Koup is wider than my previous car and the turning radius is not as sharp. I just can't seem to get that crap right on the first try. I guess there is always something :p

Got 20% all around on mine...so I thought. Got pulled over yesterday for my tint being too dark. Cop's meter showed it to be 12%. Only got a warning, so that was cool.

Got a speeding ticket a while back and that cop also measured the darkness of my tint...he said 18%. Again, only got a warning, to go with the speeding ticket.

How accurate are the meters they use? A 33% variance is huge IMO!

Got my tints in 15% all around but it was for aesthetic purposes only. I have a real hard time parallel parking with the tints (impossible at night) and I don't even attempt it now since I've put new wheels on. They'll come in handy during the summer though I'm sure.
