New Window Tint Installed.....Pic.
I had my windows tint with Global-LUX High performance. It's metallic and that gives a little reflective look, much better then those dull common charcoal tints. The guy who installed it recommended to me; says the reflective is perfectly legal and the light spec is 35%. 
The only problem was that it took 2 months to totally dry. What do you guys think?

looks good. me personally i would have went darker, i have 20%. what i do think i like better about the 35% is that its harder to see all those little air bubbles near those raised black dot things around the rear window and vertical edges of the drivers and passenger side windows.
looks like they didnt give you a cutout for your brake light, did they ask you if you wanted it like that? when i had mine done i asked for no cutout and the dude gave me some story about how hard it was and all this BS and wound up giving me a cutout. i hated it and told the tinter after talking with other board members that its really not that difficult. hes going to retint my rear window at no charge, i just have to get down there.

I was thinking about going for 20% but the MD and NY state legal was 35%, I wasn't sure how **** the cops will be if they saw me. My friend had 20% and got pulled over and had to retint his so I just decided to be save.
