I'm thinking of tinting mine 5%, its so hot in Texas.

Let me recommend FormulaOne Pinnacle.
Heat reduction is AMAZING.......
I just had mine done last weekend 35/15 here's some pics

I live in CA so I guess it would have to less than 35% right? Where can I look at pics of cars with various tints? My car is black on black which I used to feel was already way too dark. But lately I've been seeing alot of black cars with a light tint that seems to look sharp. What do you guys think?
i would tint it for sure. my car is also black on black and i tinted it 35%. I'm also in Cali. When cops are passing by i just open sunroof so it looks lighter. here are the pics: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=79014

What happens to a leased car?

Can the tint be removed?

Does the tint have to be removed?
