its illegal to have tint on my front windows in NJ, so im hesitant about getting it done because im thinking it would look gay with just the back windows, what do you guys think? I might just get it done on the fronts anyway, what cop is going to care

It really depends on what kind of driver you are. If you street race and get caught for speeding often, then you are more likely to get supplementary tickets for stupid stuff like window tint.

It's legal in Missouri. I might go 30% all the way around.

i have a siver cobalt with 2% all around and 20% on the winshield i dont recomend going anywhere close to that dark that is by far the dumbest thing ive done to my car so far... i would consider a 15% or if your woried about getting in trouble a 20% would be perfect

i like it. its a little dark at night, but i guess i can usually roll down the windows if i need to see something like if im backing up or w/e. Technically where im from, the lowest is 35% front two and 20% on the backs, which i had on my last car (buick regal) and i wanted it to be all the same. Im happy w/ it.

Here is mine 5% all around w/ front windshield strip, the small window have two layers of 5% on them and actually read "0" on the police meter!!!












This is what happerns in Georgia when the windows are two dark! $69


I wouldnt change a thing about my windows, i have gotten a few tickets but it averages out to be less than $1/day to keep it on...so i guess it will stay. Nightime backing can be difficult at times, but simply rolling the window down will take care of the probelm. Also a simple search of "window tint pictures" will yeild a lot of results and pictures! Good luck with your decision, i am sure you will be a lot happier with anything darker than the stock solar tint!

just a question why would you put 20 on the front and 15 on the back. i think it would look sweet if it was just all 20 or all 15 percent. but its your car so good luck with that

the tint is placed on the inside, so ur outside stickers would be fine, but stuff on the inside would pry be taken off and cleaned up, as they normally clean the windows before tinting

carbomb, where is your 20%...the front windshield. I am thinking of getting my front dont in 35%.

do you think your tag hurts your IAT? seems like it bloks a lot of air to the HE!

your car looks great BTW!
