... but of course, you all know that, right?
Anyhow - had our 2 cars tinted - my Altima and my wife's P5. Loving it!
If anyone is in DFW area, I very much recommend this place:

The guy is a really "tint nerd" if there is such a thing.

Rook - Yeah I agree...I look at old pics before the tint and it's not pretty. Obviously I liked the car, but definitely better afterward.
On Black Mica it's all stealth....

I love my tints! I got the lightest tint you can get but, i think it still looks sweet. Dark enough at night, light enough in the day to see who's driving.

yeah, my 5 looked killer with tint(midnight blue, 20%tint=dark and sexy), and now my msp with 35%mirror tint looks very nice aswell. The mirror kinda blends the tint to the car colour. if i hada got the 20%mirror it would be way to reflective for me. tint is our friend on these cars(all models of proteges, way back to the day)

Do you think it would look okay if I get my side windows tinted pretty dark and my rear windshield lighter. I'm scared of reversing at night if I have too dark of a rear windshield.

It will look ok, so long as there is still tint. I have a friend with a cavalier(ewwww), who put 2% tint on the side windows, and realized it was wayyyyyy to fucking dark, so he left the rear window clear. It looked super ghetto, and it was, cause It was a self tint job, and the guy couldn't even afford a new film for the rear window. He spent every last cent he could spare on the car, so he couldn't buy anything. restate: as long as there is some tint on the back, it will be fine. 20% for me was kinda dark, but ok, if you want really good vision, go 30+%. Hope that helps

I would agree...I have 35% on the driver's and passenger's sides, and 20% for the back and rear windows. 20% is a little too dark when there aren't any streetlights around. But, personally, I think it looks better than the 35%.
I have a 16-month old son, which is one of the reasons I got the car tinted. Those stick on sun shades suck!

It's just getting old, is all. It's been baking in Texas heat for two whole summers and we're coming up on the third.. it's peeling in some places and beginning to bubble on the back window.

Sounds awesome.. I have a lifetime warranty with a tint place here in Houston, so I'll have to see what they offer.. but I'll definitely keep that fade in mind. Thanks for the props. :D

Lifetime warranties are nice, aren't they? I have one on my tint job, and will definitely go back if it ever peels or bubbles.
I like it when people stand behind their work...makes you feel good about buying from them.

well...i didn't get a warranty...since my tint is "illegal" they wouldn't give one nor would they give a reciept...i guess it keeps their asses out of trouble.
