20% matches perfectly and looks great! I did the same thing to my car and as I said on another thread, it was the best $75.00 I spent.

Where did you get it done, and how much did it cost? I will need this mod on the very next day after delivery.

I think there is no legal limts on tinting in Ontario, it is all depends on the cops. I had my old car tinted at Tint King, the guy told me anything darker than 35% might get stop by cops. Don't know if that's true or not. I did went for 30% tint.

Anything below 35% is illegal. I have 20% on the Black G, but so far no issues with cops. Will be 4 years in July. At night, I simply over the cover on the sun roof, if I see a cop following or next to me.

I went to "Zebart" today & have appointment for this coming Monday.
I'm getting 20% tint @ discount for $59.95 + tax. Total $64.74.
Not sure why you were charged $90.00? usual price is $79.95.

I had a appointment only to get there & have them try to sell the world to me.
When they could not sell me $600 paint protection they said 20% tint wasn't in stock.
Screw "Zebart" I left and went to a professional "Tint Shop" and got it done for $89.95.
I rather pay more & get it done right then be jerked around by a bunch of fools!
