if you do it yourself you can buy computer cut tint film... it is about $30 for the back window... another 30 for both side windows, and 15 or so the small fixed rear windows. around 80 total. that is if you do it yourself.. installed I cant say for sure.

Got mine for $120 in a shop pretty well known around my area for thier quality work. That's 15% all around, 6" visor, and a 2 year warranty.

Does anyone know what the darkest legal tint is? I hear Earmark does a kick-@$$ job for around $300. I want to get the windows tinted as dark as I can when I get the money.

Clear windows are the best

jesus, why so dark.. do you not want to see out of your widows during day or night>.. I had 10 and 5 on my old car.. and i couldnt see anything. here in TX, were limited to 20% front, and wahtever back.. so i had solid black widows, a 1,000,000W projector hand held light couldnt get through my back widnow....

Mainly to help keep things from showing on the inside of the car. I.E. Gagues, carbon fiber dash kit (if I can find one of a good quality for the S13). Not to mention, there is also the element of show to be had.

I didnt realize how dark we can get them legally. As you know it gets friggin hot in Texas, so I'd like to try and keep some of that heat out. It sounds like 10% should be plenty if that light cant shine through it very well.

Thanks for the help!

please dont put black outs. why is it cool to reduce visibility?

If your referring to blackouts being on the headlights, dont worry. To me that is for domestics like Mustangs, Camaros, etc. Before I make the final decision on how dark to tint the windows I want to see a few examples of how dark the different tint percentages are. Something tells me I wont want anything more than 10% if that is as dark as it sounds.
