No...I sure didn't Riverwind. Just the front two windows...but then again, I knew I was going to add a windshield graphic, so I didn't bother at the time. The company I used here is very highly regarded in the area and was recommended to me by at least 10 people I know who have had them do work for them. Plus...it was nice they are just up the road from my house too.

I've been told the same thing though. Because of all of them damn bumps it makes it difficult to get the tint to adhere well without a bunch of pockets. I'm sure most shops just don't want the hassle.

Theres another shop here in McAlester that does tint and won't go over the dot matrix. We use DigiTint and i was personally trained by them. If a person wants the front strip done, they can go here http://www.digicutsystems.com and call them, they should be able to tell you where the closest tint shop that handles their products. Any shop that has been trained by them can go over dot matrix. Most shops that do this brand can also do the front end protection film

This thread isn't about limo tint? But why would it cost more or less?

Got my front side windows tinted for $60. If they are a quality tint shop they should be able to install the tint across the windshield. I had my whole windshield tinted with a ceramic tint that gradually shades 10% in sunlight.

Do you own research, just because another state allows, not Fl.
I went to 6 very good places.

If I am correct, the law in Missouri is 35%. Limo tint is 5% and would be illegal. I am going with 20% and take my chances. I would be willing to bet 5% would catch the attention of police officers, or at least a lot more than 20%.
