). tacobellmexicanpizza can vouch for me on that one.

This is illegal, thats illegal. A few posts back the acutal law is there for you guys to read. Lots of exceptions so please do not be overly conclusive.....9 times out of 10 you'll be wrong if you are (and ppl may actually believe you and get into trouble)- the law is almost always ambiguous. If you have a borderline tint job, it could probably be argued.

My car is totally transformed with the simple addition of this window film. My redline has been raised to over 15,000 rpm (but my tach doesn't read that high).
It adds more power than even the Tornado Fuel Saver. Seriously, though, I'm not sure how this brand film stacks up against others, but it doesn't turn purple like some do.

I don't know how it compares to other window film. I'd never heard of it until this particular shop installed the film in my cars. It's covered by a lifetime warranty as stated on Formula One's site. I never remember where I put my warranty paperwork - it's somewhere around here...
