Tint!!! Help!!!!

Well i drive a black cobalt ss s/c and was wantin to know how much it is going to cost for tint on sides and back. I live in tx and laws say that i can have any % on the back and 25% on the sides. I was looking at some ss's that have 5% or limo tint and was wanting to know if i will get pulled over with it on? also is 5% to dark to see out of?

5% is very dark and hard to see out of. for all of your windows i would say be ready to spend anywhere between 145-180, depending on where you go. and depending on how strict your cops are you could get pulled over, it all depends on where you live.

well i got my tint for 120$ I got 5% in the back and side windows and 35% in the front ones and I live in Texas and yes what I have is legal. The cops down here dont really care unless they pull you over for speeding or something else and also if there dick. I have a couple of friends that have very dark tint in the front and have never been pulled over.

I paid $150 for mine, but I went with 18%. It's still darker than crap, but at night it's MUCH easier to see out of. I have pics in my gallery if you want to look at them.

5% will get you a ticket, but it does look good. That is what I have and I've been running it for about 2 years now and just got my first tint ticket

Mine was $120 for 20% on the sides, back, and a strip across the windshield. Prices vary a great deal though.
