Got mine done for $64 in Vegas. I can't remember what % it is, but it was the one above limo tint. It didn't look too dark in the store, but once I got on the road I realised I might've f@%ked up. It was DARK!!!!!!!! I have trouble seeing out of them at night and on overcast days, and it's very hard to see in the mirrors on a sunny day when I'm wearing sunnies if the sun is coming through the front window. If I could do it again, I would go a mid-range tint. I live in the Mojave desert where it gets to 120'F regularly in summer, so they'll be good then, but in winter (below 30'F) it'll be different.

I have found it doesn't look as good with a standard clear plastic window, and I notice the heat coming through the back on a sunny day. I was going to look into getting a tinted plastic one sewn in, but had been tossing up about the glass rear window option. Unfortunately I'm being forced into making the decision sooner rather than later as I noticed two sizeable cracks have formed in the rear window in the last day or two.

Money's an issue at the moment so I'm thinking the tinted plastic version might be best. Can anyone recommend a supplier in LA or Vegas?

Thanks.
