Dark Dan came to my house today and tinted Mike's (Mike_K429) and my Marauders. Dan did an excellent job. We both chose the legal 50% tint.

Mine before.

Just a quick note to say "thanks!" for hosting us. We had a great time and a great lunch! The car looks terrific, and I'm still drooling over your screen porch, it's going to be great when it's done.

We are definately planning all three days at Car Craft this year, just have to register on-line.

I noticed on Thursday that there was a small bug between the glass and the film on one of my windows. I e-mailed Dan and he stopped back at my house on Friday evening and replaced the film on that window at no charge. That's customer service! I would highly recommend Dan to anyone.

Just to let people know, Dan did the clear rock chip protection on the Cobra last week as well. He did the nose below the headlights, and the front edge of the rear fenders as well.

See you at Car Craft!

Thanks guys. I use a lot of fertilizer and the sprinkler systems helps too. Also keeps my neighbors trying to keep up with me, so the whole neighborhood has nice lawns also.

Do you guys have more after pix as I am debating 35% or legal 50%. Crouse specifically more after pix like your before pix. Someday you will see me here more often as I have black Vic wannabe now and a Marauder soon in the future. :)
P.S. darkdan's work looks really good!

Go with the legal max tint. You'll have less worries down the road.

Down here in the South 35% is legal in Ga, but most people go with the 20% which is very effective against the sun. I have done 3 cars in 20% and it is a real improvement over 35%. Some people will go with 35% on the front door windows and then 20% on the others. They do not even sell 50% down south.

Yeah seriously nice lawn thats the first thing I noticed - fresh cut too. My lawn is dirt. Dont have some dude rip it up with a "contract" to install new grass. Turns out they take your old stuff and then disappear.

Go 35% for sure as long as you think the LEO's won't bother you. 35% is just dark enough to look menacing. I'd go even darker but don't want to attract negative attention from the cops.

Here is my car with 35% on all 4 corners. It measures 28% net, with a tint meter, because of the factory tint. I would not go any lighter than 35%, for looks, if you can get away with it. It looks dark in this pic. If the sun is really shining through it, it looks much less dark.

I have 50% on the Marauder,35% on the Grand Marquis,I have been stopped in the GM for the "tint" (or so the officer said),he checked it with a meter and said "it was to dark,change it,or next time you'll get a ticket".Also how much time do you drive at night? You might consider that.35% looks nice but 50% looks as nice w/less hassel
