Yeah...registered in FL. I went that angle with them, but they still said they would only do 35....
No rush on the pics...whenever you get some time.
I may go to the local shop that sells it here and see if he'll give me a sample of the 35 and 15, so I can see how each looks on my car. This guy says he'll do pinnacle 5, 15, or 35...what ever I want. Not sure of his work though...seemed kinda shady on the phone.

Keep in mind that you won't know the true darkness unless all windows are tinted. So a sample of that tint isn't going to let you appreciate true darkness. You'll need to see a similar vehicle tinted at 15%.

Did you tell them the car is registered in FL?
I'm working the next 3 overnights, so won't be able to take any pics for a few days.

do 35% side windows and 15% rear window because the darker window will help the sides look a litter dark during the day (about %5 is what i was told) and it's still light enough to see when you reverse at night. that's the set-up i have and love it. i also have the windshield tinted 50% which really helps with the glare during the day that i also love but it's a controversial issue here.

My Ride: 2005 545i Sport Package Limo Tinted, Heads up display, Fully Loaded Minus Cold Weather Package and Rear window Sunshades.
Got 5% limo all around and couldn't be any happier... Was thinking of getting the windshield done too but it's so hard to see at night with it done so I opted out. Now I'm thinking of getting 35% on the windshield...

FL has tint laws now, besides, regardless of the plates you have on your car, you need to abide by the tint law in the state you are driving in. no exceptions.
