i have 5% all around + 5% strip on top part of my windshield. no one in nc or ohio has said anything about it (yet!) for my nc inspection, i found a place in Morehead City that does state inspections for a normal rate then accepts $10 extra to ignore your illeagal tint. just ask around, i am sure there is somewhere like that near you. it is a funny storry how i found out about that place that hooks you up on ignoring illeagal tint for a nc state inspection: i got pulled over by an mp (military police, i am stationed at Marine Corps air station cherry point) for runnig a stop sign. he gave me a warning and noticed my dark tint and told me where he goes to get his personal vehicle inspected because of illeagal tint.

it fits good. looked kida weird at first, but after about a week (once the tint fully "cured" and all of the soapy water film evaporated) it looks better and better as it sits out in the sun.

i got my car tinted at like 31% so it is actually 35% because of the factory tint. the guys who put mine on did a heck of a job. no bubbles, scratches or anything. oh and i think the guys that did mine didnt put tint over those dots. i think he stopped short from that but i could be wrong. i cant exactly remember

same here bro, at first they had it all the way up over the dots on the rear glass but i didnt like how it looked from the outside so I had them cut it right where they begin. Im gonna see if theres a way to remove the dots from the windshield, and then get the strip. Right now I just gotta remember not to roll down my windows, im so used to having them down
