Here's my 35% on the side picture. I got 20% in the rear. I like 20% all around like my Tacoma, but it's just another reason for cops to flag you down in Cali.
Ceramic Tint. So my reception doesn't suffer. $200 all around.

had the day off today so i went to check out where eric recommended and where he got his done. turns out i just went ahead and got my car tinted. only took about 2 hours.. its a dyed charcoal tint.. 35% all around. since my interior is gray it looked a little darker. i made sure it wasnt going to be metallic. thanks for all the advice guys. well the shop is located in long beach on cherry ave. and 28th. its on cherry between spring and willow right across best buy if anyone was wondering. they did a good job. it was done for $173 all in all. waiting for the weekend so i could get rid of the water marks from when they installed it. will post pics soon.

thanks wendell. umm there were just some marks on my windows. they look like water marks and in some parts it looks like as if it were just wiped off but not completely. first time i got a car tinted so i dont really know how it works so sorry if it sounds like i dont know what im talking about. im just saying what it looks like. and they said i cant touch or roll down my windows for at least 3 days.
