Default Window tint pic request

Hello, has anyone done the LLumar Platinum Plus(TM) window film Roll# PP35-4960-2631474 in the front windows?
PO put black in front, and it think it looks like poop with the already ugly factory green tint on a black RX. I'm considering to at least match the front, since the mismatch doesn't look good.
Pictures?

I suppose OEM tint can be removed if you completely pull the windows off your car and place them in acetone bath for 10-20 hours. This should work unless the tint is embedded in layers (?) of glass.

It is supposed to be done on the exterior side of windows, right?

I actually had them all tinted, so the rears are darker than stock.

How durable is this stuff? I want to put these on my silver RX. Where did you get yours? Do you know any regulations in TX about window tinting?

PS: I occasionally smoke inside of the car.

Hi Shonuff,

To confirm, the image we see is Platinum Plus 35% on the front and Platinum Plus 35% on top of factory tint in rear?

I need to know as I am about to get PP installed. I'm thinking about 18% front & 35% onto factory tint in rear (What do you guys think?)
-Thanks!
