^actually thats Slim Thug

As far as the tint. Limo is 5%
I got mine 20% all around, and his look like 20%. At night 20% is pretty much pitch black, & during the day You can see through it a bit. Its not so bad. I never have a problem backing out.

There is a site that makes them, although if your decal guy does one, tell me how much cuz i want one. PM me if you get a price from him.

20% all round or even 15% is good for all around. If you want to make sure you don't get ANY tickets, I'd do 35 front and 20 back. but do check your local tint law. (MO is front 35)

i have 20% all around and it just takes a couple of weeks of getting used to, especially at night. i would constantly have to roll down my driver and passenger side windows when making tight turns. even looking at your rear view mirror at night is a total different experience. instead of seeing the outline of the cars in the mirror, all you see are there lights. i say get 20% all around and just get used to it.

Tinting the windshield other than a visor is really stupid. Reflections and such will screw you up at nighttime, plus its a much much much greater chance of a ticker compared to just tinting the driver and passenger side windows.

Anyways I got 35% front, 5% 6 inch visor, and hit the back three with 5%. Its damn hard to back out cuz I live no where near street lights for my court, but its looks sick as hell

I would never tint the windshield of my own car the tint will effect the way the glass shatters in an accident its not worth the risk not to mention how dangerous it is if the tint is to dark .... that is way to dark IMO the darkest I ever tinted a windshield was 75% didn't hurt visibility but gets rid of glare and provides uv pertection I would try to talk people out of tinting their windshields but when the customer wanted to do it I would make them sign a waiver saying I wasn't liabel
