on 3/29/2006 Care - Don't use ammonia-based cleaners on the tint.
Radio Reception - Dependent on your car's make/model, some metalized films interfere with reception.
Grit/Dot Matrix - Most cars these days have this around the edges. Unless your tinter sands down the dot matrix, the edges will not adhere well and be visible upon close inspection.

immediately adjacent to each side of the driver.

on 11/22/2005 If you want to save a few bucks, then don't get your window tinted at all. Do-it-yourself tinting fades quickly and turns purple. It also WILL bubble profusely and look terrible. The money you save by doing it yourself will be more than spent with the time it takes you to put the tint on, and then a year later take it off because it looks so bad. Get it done right the first time and don't ever worry about it.

on 11/22/2005 Not only does tint darkness matter to law enforcement, but in some states / provinces, it is illegal to tint your driver/passenger windows, and more commonly illegal in most states / provinces to tint your Windshield. Be Advised. Some states / provinces will reject vehicles with such window tint even if just visiting.
