I bought this stuff that you can see through but is camouflage on the outside - for the back glass - I have a truck.  The kiddie screens were distracting me more than the sun was buggin' my baby.  But I am sure the make different designs - professional is the best - I have a friend who does it.  Thank goodness.  So if you are worried about tinting - the little suction cup shades by Safety First were the best for the side windows.  The roll down shades bit the big one! ;)

You might check with local law enforcement before you tint your windows. It is illegal in some states. :o

becareful, depending on your state tinting passenger and driver windows can be illegal. Atleast in my state they are, you can get pulled over and get asked to take the tint off. But if you do get tint, have a professional do it.

I would let a professional do it.  It is funny when you see someone that attempted it themselves.  lmao

I live in Connecticut and it cost me about $200 for all the windows on an SUV.  Good luck!

I would recommend you getting a professional to do it. Cost around $100 to do it but you'll see the difference between a pro and someone doing it themselves (drive down the highway behind someone with airbubbles all over the place... hilarous!).

I am curious, however. When did the backwindow only become a law in Cali? I moved out of there because of Arnold becoming Gov and that law didn't exist when I was there or I would have been pulled over A LOT as all my windows except my windshield are tinted.

I agree with Mayhem...the professionals are the way to go.


Our truck, has limo tint on the windows. Which is illegal in the state of WV, but since the truck was originally purchased in NY and then transported here, when we bought it, there is nothing they can do to us. Gotta love loop holes.

In Louisiana there is a Law as to how dark the tint can be for the front and back windows.  Please check into it, because you can get a ticket if the tint is to dark.  Just check the Laws in your state and I would let the pros do it.  I hope this helps you out.

I'd recommend letting the prof's do the tinting.

If it's not done right, it will leave tiny bubbles and look f'ugly (pardon my french).

I'm not sure about the states, but here in Canada there is a legal limit to how dark the tint can be. You may want to look in to that as well (if you planning to do it yourself).
