I have 35% tint on my car now and I'm so tired of all of these 100+ degree days. So I'm thinking of going 5% all the way around, I'll go black trim along with it and get the roof done black down the line. How do you think it will look? I had 5% on my maxima and it really helped with the heat.

Humm... you're out there in Texas. I thought you guys don't have tint restrictions? I would just darken that to whatever makes me happy, lol.

thats what my family says about me coming back from ny. my 2 bedroom 2 bathroom 1 car garage apartment with a view costs my 1200 bucks a month to rent. this would cost me 4500 a month in NY. my 3 bed, 2 bath 2 car brand new home on a wooded lot in savannah cost me 165K, that would cost me 500K + on long island.

moral of the story... stay out of CA and NY

i lived in san angelo for a while. it was hot as hell, but it wasnt humid. try july in the swamps of GA or the semi-tropic florida!

to get back on topic, i had 35% tints on my black 02' dodge ram quad cab "Lone Star Edition" when i lived in TX
