yours are 5%? Did a window tint shop install and apply their certification sticker? If not- you may be stuck- If the shop told you these were in compliance you need to see what they say. So a 25% means at least 25% of light must pass through.... Did the law change?

im originally from seattle wa and got the tint there, i figured itd be a matter of time until i get a ticket here, just didnt know if i could get away with replacing 2 front windows and leave 5% on the rest of windows, i called Daddy's tint shop here in texas which maybe u might know them, they said they would have to see about my tint but usually he said its the 2 front windows that need 25%..
i actually was planning on removing this really dark tint and get 3m color stable or 3m crystalline depending on price, i mainly wanted the tint for protection of interior.. having the cheap 5% tint in seattle was the only option at the time that met my budget, now i need quality tint.. any suggestions?? im open to it, thanks for response!!

http://www.daddystint.com/home.nxg
the guy seemed really polite, im headed there tomorrow and getting it done asap but not too sure if i should pay more for the crystalline vs color stable 3m brand - also too in seattle, the tint shop carried huper optik but was charging both my arms and legs for it.. so as of right now im undecided
