Default Tint

Has anyone used pre cut tint to do their windows? If so, what company would you recommend?

ebay
Precision Window Films
Have used them for several vehicles.
They'll cut each windows to whatever tint percentage you want, and you can reorder induvidual windows if you screw one up.
Cut out is always good, as well as tint quality.
I actually have both front windows to put on my Disco now. Tint comes rolled in a cardboard tube.

Ok, and fyi, that's a ticket in Va.
Front driver and passenger windows are supposed to be 50% or more
All rear windows, 30% or more.
And for pickup trucks...you can spray paint the back window black as long as you have 2 outside mirrors, one on each front driver and passenger door.
Stupid, makes no sense.

I thought SUVs could have as dark as they want in the back. I've seen stock tints on vehicles that are much darker than 30% plus I don't think it's a problem as long as you are not doing anything stupid.

I've had State Troopers and city cops pull me over just to check tint, no other reason.
Factory tint is what it is.
They are tight on front windows being 50% or more.
Rear door windows must be 30% or more.
As for rear suv windows, technically they are 30% as well, but it all depends on the cop.
If they pull you over just for tint, rest assured they are checking them all.
