How is it seeing out of that window with 70% on the windshield at night? Same question on the front windows with the 20%. Shit looks BADASS though for sure. Get harassed out her in California for that for sure. Might mess with it once my Tahoe is not my daily any longer.

See this http://cdn.llumar.com/drupal/northamericanllumarautomotivespecs00.pdf

Tint guy convinced me to go Air 80 on my windshield and sunroof instead of darker colors

Ceramic 50 vs air 80 (also ceramic) has same level of heat rejection, but 50 has only 56% light vs air 80 at 79% = 40% improvement, which is noticeable especially at night

I have Llumar 35% on my windshield and I do a lot of night driving. It actually helps a lot with the reflection of oncoming traffic headlights.

Edit: As far as vision, it isn't hindered

Looks great....

I had 45% on my windshield and Limo tint on the rest of the windows (2016 Tahoe LTZ) and LOVED it. At least I did until the County Police here in Maryland pulled me over and made me peel the windshield and the front driver/passenger side windows.

Most reputable tint shops now (atleast in So Cal) offer some kind of "ticket warranty" that you can purchase as a package when you get your tint. Usually covers removal and replacement if you receive a ticket. Just something else to think of if you guys decide to go that route

Nice! Did you powder coated the wheels? I'm planning on doing it on Monday.
Is this the right move... any problems with the TPMS sensor after? I'm in the Car Audio & Security business so I now a few peps around with favors.
At a $135 per wheel and I don't how long do they last. I'm planning to do black with a shine on it.

70 percent on the windshield??? Can you even see out of that at night??? What state is that your in?? I'm in NV and no way would that be legal??? I got pulled over once in my "Tercel" (not stock) and the NVHP pulled out his meter thing to check the "tint" on the front windows (they were legal) but 70% on the windshield .... wow???

Love my 55% on my windshield and I didn't powder coat. I plasti-dipped them for now. I plan on upgrading wheels next year some time.

Pittsy, thanks! I had never seen this plasti dip before but it seems I'm going this route. Is perfect if you just want to go back and I ain't afraid of spray paint some wheels. I used to paint my Enkies back in the days(80s)
Thanks again

Make sure the first coat is light then keep adding coats. I didn't come off easy unless you have at least 4-5 coats. I prefer more as it seems stronger. I put a trash bag behind the wheel to cover the brakes and spray the plasti dip right on the tire. I spray it thick and it comes right off very easily.

Looks good man... I have 17% all the way around and 35% on my windshield 2016 denali... I wanted 17% on my windshield but they tint shop didn't have any film long enough to fit the windshield less than 35%. So I had to settle which sucks. I had 15% on my windshield on my civic and loved it. I think I'm going tint my tail lights next. Terrible pic I'll try and grab a better one

I have 20% on top of the factory 20% on the rear windows. I have 5% on the front because it matches the rest of it. I don't have the front window tinted, but have been seriously thinking about getting it done.
