Hmm, maybe it's just me, but I don't really like having 2 diff't %age tints for front and back windows (unless it's like 5% diff. or something not too noticeable.) I prefer uniformity.
It's pretty noticeable in that first pic mAdD INDIAN took of his car, for example. ('course the car is not moving, thus making it more apparent)
i think his 35% on front and 20% on back looks pretty sweet.. It looks cooler because it feels like you're giving the rear passengers more privacy... i wonder what color his interior is though.. also notice in the picture that it's very cloudy... maybe 35% is not worth the money at all
you kidding me? you can get your ass arrested for that.. (unless you know the person or something.. which i doubt)
I'm not taking it to the DMV inspection station ~ they do inspections for free.
I'm gonna take it to a certied inspection station ( usually a gas station and such with a shop )
Edit btw your law says 35% all around. I wouldn't go any darker .. unless you go 30% or something.. You can definitely notice 25% and 20%

My car is a coupe, so as you can see, my mentality is pretty much more of a "to hell with the people in the back seat."
I know the guy that does my inspection, so I easily could've gotten a darker tint w/o problem.
Its a 99 Maxima with black interior. And yes the rear passengers can't be seen if you look at the car from a distance or even up close on a cloudy day. It's saved my ass a few times
also I'm in Ontario, Canada so the laws for this province state for 35% max in the front windows, which I did. Personally, I think the tint looks fine on the car.

I can't believe nobody thinks you should try it yourself.
I've done several cars myself. All of them came out great, no bubbles, no wrinkles, etc. Last time I checked, it cost about $50-$60 for some good quality film.
Park in the shade, get a spray bottle with soapy water, a nice squeegee and a sharp razor knife.
I say "Go for it".

You do realize he'll need a heat gun.... A blow dryer doesn't give enough heat for the tint job.
2nd It all depends on the rear of the car as well. I.E IS300, the rear is in a way that it takes baby hands to fit under the bottom. The Tint guy had a helluva time trying to get the rear done.
ask any installer, they'll tell you how difficult it is to do the back of the is300.
I dont think it's worth the risk of bubbling and what not.. unless you have very easy windows ... I.E ( CR-V ) something easy i would do myself. but something like a coupe or a sedan i'll just leave it to the professionals.
