Welcome

Be sure to call tinting shops around your area for a price quote and ask about the material. If they offer a dye based tint for 200$, then you're getting ripped off. Look for metallic, ceramic, or carbon type tints. Ceramic and carbon tend to be more pricier than metallic because they better heat blocking and don't interfere with radio. Be sure to also check tint laws for your state, which might limit how much you can tint your windows. This doesn't guarantee that you will get written up, but may increase your chances if you get pulled over.

thank you for the warm welcome everyone, i'll be sure to post some pictures tomorrow of my new ride :) I'll be sure to call in some tint companies around my area this weekend, thinking of getting the tint done next week, so I"ll be sure to take a picture of it. does anyone know how long it will take to do tinting?

my front windows are 35%, rear window/sides 25%, strip across top windshield 25%

check ur state law for legality State Tinting Laws

but not all follow the state law :)
I live in California, I think i should go with 35% on a black car? do you think it'll look sleek?
