That's good

Found a weird squiggle in the passenger front Window. Almost like maybe a hair got trapped. I have a feeling I'll be going back next weekend to have that Window redone

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think there is a great deal of differnce between the 15 and the 20. 20 is where I chose to stop, but, from what I saw while waiting for my car, I think more people around here go for the 15.

The tint shop asked if i really wanted 30% because most people get 15% and i liked the 15% i was shown

I sure hope you didn't get duped into some cheap film. Never let someone change your mind for you. What kind of film did they put on?

just make sure you can get the warranty going illegal. a lot of shops around here won't warranty work if you go darker than the legal limit...

I dont know why I even looked at this thread. I am in Germany and only can get the 1/4 windows and rear window tinted. It is illegal to get the diver and passenger front windows tinted.

"NOT" every trooper will pull you over most will not, but there is the occasional one that will here in Maryland and Delaware. Believe it or not if I was driving in another State I could actually get a ticket for tint or no front license plate in that State. Even if that State does not have tint or no front plate laws. If you do not believe that "LOOK IT UP.

I did not say I knew every Tinter in the Country, but I am willing to bet it would be very hard to find one that would give you a Guarentee like that. Do you realize how much business a good tinter does in a year. If they had to pay every ticket that is given out they would be out of business very quickly here in Maryland and Delaware.
Sorry dude but your nuts. Your inspection station clearly had know idea what they were doing. Unless your guy put 35% film ON TOP OF existing film. Just to humor you I asked my tint guy. For credentials sake he has owned his tint business for 20yrs and works on lambos, farraris, bentleys, etc....His only response was laughter.

What's Window tinting a Ferrari got to do with tinting a cheap Mustang?

you're right. sorta, but not at all. When they tint your windows they are for example putting 35% on windows that are already tinted (yes even your stock mustang windows have a minor tint)

so his guy, your guy, my guy, they put 35% film on tinted windows. For credentials sake, I don't own a business, and I don't really work on cars anymore, though I have the knowledge, I've been on this planet for 30 years, and I'm a girl. However, I can read and attain knowledge.
