    I was going to mention this before but did not think anyone had every heard of it,, Well, My car was double tinted with 35% all around, Somehow this provides better protection in the hot houston sun, I have my windshield also tinted only one time with 35%. I believe that my double tint looks better than a single 20% tint,,deeper charcoal look to it, and it does keep the inside of my car nice and cool.

    TDC, as long as the tint that you have on there now is less than 6months it should be fine, If you go with 20% more you will have brought the total tint down to around, 8-10% I went with 35% both times and brought mine down to a nice looking 17-20%

    well it is more than 6 months.ive had the car for 6 minths and it was put on before then. it's not turning purple so it's either good tint or it's cheap tint that wasent put on long ago. either way im gunna give it a shot.

    Right, and all beer is the same too. There is different quality and thickness of tint.

    I've heard stories of it being bad becuase eventually it will buble. now...on the other hand it has not yet bubled on my car. I guess another factor may be how often you use your rear defroster.I dont use mine any.

    i used my rear defroster in the winter all the time and my tint is holding up strong going on two years now. it shouldnt affect it at all if you have good tint.

    I love my tint, but to tell you the truth, I have been thinking about going Limo all around and 20% on the windshield... I have never had any issues with cops in my area.. I know this is dark, but Houston has the worst sun beating down,,,,,

    I don't like 2 peace because You can see the seam, I don't care how good the tinter is, you still see the seam
