Glad you got the tint done. Once you get used to it you will wonder how you went for so long without it.

Very nice! Although I went for 35%, Sloth is right, you'll wonder why you hadn't done it sooner.

It was cooler in the car temperature-wise... and looks-wise too. I'm waiting for the ride home tonight to see if it is too dark. Thanks for the input and guidance guys and girls.

Britt: should have done that long ago when you purchased the car, tint is the first thing you should do, and most important

Nice tint, I'm considering the platinum tint on my black cab.
You must wash and wax your car every day!

Britt, just tell them they made a mistake and that you'll try it out for a few days. If it's ends up being too dark make them put 50% on.

Britt, Try it out for a few days. It seems really dark b/c you are not used to it, with time you will forget all about it. If you find its a problem after a few days, have the front windows stripped and redone in a lighter shade.

I agree, give it a few days, it might grow on you. I had the same thoughts right after they did mine. But, now, I love it.
