im sure the cop will want to pull you over, get out of his cruiser in the pouring rain, and check how tinted your window are using their light meter all while its raining. ill take my chances

they dont use light meters here in cali, we can't have anything on our windows,( except the rear and rear passengers/drivers, but nothing on driver/pass, sides- fronts ) but we still do it LoL, and yes they will pull you over here in the rain no matter what! specialy the CHP's, thats if they feel like being a d!ck

My car is at the tinters shop now. I'm doing 18% all around. 35% seems to be a waste to me.

Since our cars windows automatically come down about 1/2" upon openning the doors, how to the tinters get full coverage on those windows? Does the door panel have to come off?

Thinking of getting my done, but not sure if I should dismount the panels before bringing it in so they don't mess my car up.

There's a way to index the windows with the doors open. A experience tinter will know how to do it. You basically open the door and then hit the latch to fool the car into thinking the door was closed and the window will go all the way up.

No trim or panels were removed when my windows were tinted. And the guys who did mine were quick. I didn't watch how they did it, but I had a problem with one window, and they removed the tint and had new stuff up in less than 1/2 hour.

Seems simple to me. Wouldn't it work to start the process with the door closed and then when you get so far up the window, open the door to finish. Am I missing something?

Does any "good" tint shop have "limo" tint? OR what is the % of it?
