Yeah, I like those too, but the ones I have came on the truck when I bought it, and there is nothing wrong with them. I might get those if these ever break or anything. Would goo-gone be okay for getting the leftover tape off, or would it work, or would anybody have a better product that takes off the residue from the 3m tape.

Use a hair dryer or heatgun on low heat, heat up the 3m tape and peel it off. To get the residue off GOO-GONE should work.

one thing about tinting windows i think u should match the tint to be the same as your rear stock tinted windows...because it does not look good if u have a lighter tint or one that does not match in the front but.. thats just what i think lol

When I get a blazer, i'll be tinting the front two windows, it'll for sure be profesionally done, but the Washington state law is 35% in the front windows, and factory I hear is around 20%, I already don't have a very clean looking driving record, which isn't good considering my age, and I CAN'T have any more stupid reasons to get tickets, I have terrible luck with tickets already, seeing the post above me, does anyone have any good pictures of what lighter tint up front would look like as apposed to the 20% in the rear? Because i'll most likely be getting 35%.

Blazer123456789 is right, the only tint that looks right is what matches rear, which is around 20%.
If you are going to go any lighter, it really isn't worth it, IMO.
The police are usually ***** here when it comes to giving out tickets, but I haven't been pulled over for tint in over 2 years on any of my cars. I think they should just do away with the tint laws.

We'll see, but wouldn't 35% / 20% look better than no tint at all up front... I get caught up driving side by side with sheriffs all the time on the freeway in the AM hours, which already makes me nervous, let alone having illigal tint to make me more nervous, 35% tint isn't very dark but it still helps privacy, and is legal.. Anyone here have a blazer with lighter tint up front? I'd love to see a pic : /
Wow, just looked up some cars with 35% tint, you can pretty much see right through it, does anyone know if the old, ' the car came with it ' excuse works for tint? I've seen it in court quite a few times, people claiming the car came with it, doesn't seem to hold up...

yea splat is right it isnt worth it if u are only going to have 35%.... 35% is like nothing the only thing i can think u would use 35% is to keep from getting a sun burn lol if it were me i would just gowithout tint and modify something eles
