I did mine at audioheaven, they're pretty good.
If you have a white car then do 35/20 front/rear since you won't even notice the difference and cops can't give you crap. since you have a black car i recommand either 35 or 20 all around, doing two different shades on a dark car will be fairly noticible (looks bad).
as far as i know, cops won't pull you over for just having 20% tints, mostly b/c soemthign else major and if they're having a bad day they'll comment on your tints.
hope this helps!

I think it depends on the color of your car. My tint is 20 / 5 and you cant really notice the difference from a far, even up close its pretty nice.
Second, if you guys are getting a tint done at another shop ensure you get one with a life time warranty and a no bs replacement policy.
never been pulled over once for the darkness of my tint.

I got 20 front and 35 back, it takes a while to get use to the tint at the back window during night cruz.
Audio heaven offered me 2 types of tint, one is the regular tint with minimum reflection when look from outside, the other is got a metalic layer i think, it's more reflective when looking from outside (i got this one). the only problem with the metalic one is that when it's on the back window, it causes a bit of glar with the defrost lines at night when other car's headlight shine to it.
both types are Solar Guard i think, with life warrenty.
come show off your tints when done!

quick questions for all you who already have tinted windows
does moleskin from http://www.tintprotector.com/mitsubishi/ help?
all the tint shops told me there is a problem with most new cars including lancer where the rubber is too hard and scratches the tints and also said that mole skins they have made it worst
i would just like to know if any one bought the mole skin from tintprotector.com and if it still scratched the tints on your lancer
