    50% is legal. I got my done at Street Scenes Tint during their winter special for 175. Lifetime warranty on the install and film as long as it isn't something you did to it (scratches, gouges, etc).

    I can see what trung can do for you at Street Scenes if you're interested. He worked with me at my at&t store. We did a group buy through them last year. Did a great job on my WRX.

    I'll beg to differ. While 35% looks really nice (I had 35%), it looks extra dark on a black car (like mine) - and draws the unwanted attention of the 5-0. Go legal at 50% and avoid the trouble of having to get it re-done - and fighting a ticket. I speak from experience.

    If you have a show car - do whatever you want.

    I have 30% on my white sti for over a year and I haven't got any attention at all from the popo. I got it installed at tintmasters in grand forks for $2XXish but it comes with a lifetime warranty even if i scratch it they will replace it.

    I got my rig done at Tintmasters in Burnsville and also purchased the 'oops I scratched it myself warranty'. It's optional and IMO totally worth it. You never know when you one of your passengers might accidentally drag something across the window (ring, engine block, machete, etc) getting in or out of your car.

    As for color, I personally think it's hard to beat the look of black on black.

    tint is definately something that paying a little more money for will get you better quality.

    no average is about $200-$300. For those like me who paid about $150-$170 it was a sale price they had. You can always call up the tint places and see if they have any specials going on.

    I just got my wagon done Tuesday by Kevin (Owner) @ Shaded Images, he has been tinting cars for 20 years and has the state trooper vehicle account. He has also done many cars that have gone to SEMA. Top notch guy that does a great job. He did my wagon for $180 in an hour as I sat there and watched! He is in Albertville Kevin @ (612) 281-6113

    I went with 15% in back and 50% up front, looks great!

    I don't drive dumb. I just get pulled over because I get done with work at 1:30 AM - and i'm sure they just want to check to see if I've been drinking.

    Usually its not the local smokies you have to worry about, its the state boy's that like to pull you over for not so legitimate reasons.

    I got a Legacy, with 20% on the rear glass and doors, and %35 on the front sides. It's a very nice blend. It's really dark, but it looks amazing on the black pearl. I've never gotten pulled over in this car either, like others say, just watch how you drive.
