California HIghway Patrol made me take the tint off my front side windows. Illegal here.

yea, but yet I see ppl on the freeways with heavily tinted front side windows/windshields...

I tinted my front side window, but its a very light tint. 30% supposedly. You can only tell if you put it heads up against another window. But since my back windows are at 50% tint, there's a clear distinction between front and back, so no one thinks my front windows are tinted =)

30% is darker than 50%...are you sure that isn't backwards? 😛

Ever live in FL? Tint is awesome.

Hmmm, good point, but even for the side windows?

It drastically reduces the 'fishbowl' effect -- so if you run into a store for 5 minutes, it might not be 100+ in the car by the time you come back out. 🙂

I live in ND and we exercise the highest and lowest points on our thermometers. Even up here, it gets BLOODY hot in the summer. Even with the A/C on in my car, it can be uncomfortable if you're driving into the sun. My arms have tanned - with the windows up, A/C on, driving home from the lakes. 🙂

What do you guys think of the metallic colored tint? Yay or nay? My car is tan...
