I've always done my own with pretty decent results.It is time consuming though, to do it right.You can't tell too good from the pic,put here's Tonya's old GT clone that I did the tint on (and everything else,THEN she decided to sell it! )

Another vote for legal tint. My car "had" 20% on it, but now it's faded so bad it is lighter than my wife's car with 35%. Her 35% tint is plenty dark IMO. I'll get mine redone eventually, and I'm going with 35% on the back and sides.

I've had 15% all the way around for 2 years now, and no fade. I know this because it was metered last September at 16% by the city of Anniston. That was the one and only time it has been noticed by LEO's.

I would recommend Llumar brand tint no matter where you get it done.

I had 20% Llumar on the Shelby done at Unlimited. They do great work & at a good enough price. They done 3 or 4 of our cars.

I have 20% on my mustang and my F150. A buddy of mine that is a LEO said i could get by with 20% just don't go darker. I also have 50% on my windshield on my F150. my wifes car is legal and she wished she'd went with 20%

Oh yeah, Hutch touch did all mine

Looks like 20 might be right for me. Llumar, huh? I'll keep that in mind. And I'll see about Unlimited and if they'll lay a strip of vinyl over the dots on the rear windshield.

Lightbulb

My Impala came with 20%. In the light it doesn't appear very dark since it's against a black car. It's a bit difficult to see out of at night especially if the weather is bad.
