Off to the tint shop
Well, I'm taking my car into the tint shop Saturday. It's hard to believe that the previous owner dove this BLACK car in the hot Atlanta weather for 15 years without tinted windows. This car is freakin' hot after sitting in the parking lot/driveway all day. Fortunately, the air is ice cold and cools the interior pretty quickly.

I'm not sure of the percentage ratings anymore... I'm over 30 and out of the loop :-)
I told the guy at the tint shop that I wanted the darkest possible that the law permits. I seriously don't want to get stopped by the law over freakin' dark windows. I don't know if that's 80% or whatever here in GA but I am trusting that it'll be okay. Can't see out of the car rearward anyway (I'm tall, blind spots are big) so I'm not real stressed about that. I ride a motorcycle and am used to wrenching my neck around to check my 6.

Tint
Tint is one of the easiest way to make your car look "new" and shinny again. Just remember although Tint % is set state wide by the dept. of motor vehicles or its equivalent the kicker is your city might have an entirely different policy on it. Check with your local 5-oh on the maximum % allowed by law. Just don't dial 911 to do so,as they don't think its as much as an emergency as you might.
