After a couple sunny days, I realized my dog was getting quite warm on the back seat and decided to get the windows tinted. The two fronts have a 50% tint which makes it a legal 35% when checked with the meter. The two rears and the back window got 30%. The total cost was $170 for all 5 windows.

I approve!
But then again I'm partial to tint in general, even more on a white car/truck.

The main reason is that the wife and kids drive it also and at night I don't want them backing into things.

Makes sense. I remember when my GF at the time took the Bonne to the store one eve... she came back and asked how I can see ANYTHING out the back of that car!

I noticed this when I drove my friend's Mustang at night. Unless I had a back up camera, I wouldn't recomend it.

That looks sweet.

But as one of your girls once said about my car: "You've got some *shoot* there in your back window."
