Tint Help

Hey guys,a few of you already helped me out with this but I want to tint my 'balt and I just wanted to see other people's tints before I decide how dark I want to go. I'm thinking about doing around 20%. Post pics and say how dark it is.
Also, if anyone else knows a really good tint place that's not much money in SJ, let me know. Thanks guys

Fist tip is to know your local and state laws before anything. I got my car limo in the back and 20 in the front and a court date.

Raine man your car looks Sweet

+1 on the legality issues...

some folks get away with it... some folks don't. (thus why I stuck with 35%)

and thanks for the props

Good stuff guys, keep 'em coming.
The law in NJ is that you can have whatever you want on the back and back driver/passenger side but nothing on the front windows. But you still see a lot of cars here with tint thats really dark all the way around. My Dad had an '02 Vette tinted to like 10% all the way around when he lived here and he never got stopped. I think I might just go for all the way around. And if I get stopped, I'm a firefighter so I might be able to get away with it haha

By the way, how much did you guys pay for your tint?

careful in NJ with tint, my friend has her stang tinted 25 all around, her brother is a cop, and she gets pulled over ALOT. perk to being a pretty girl, she gets outta tickets all the time. if i lived in NJ i'd def do the front two a lighter shade then the rear, a privacy tint might pass as factory a little more easily.
i was quoted at 90$ all around for my balt, and i paid 150$ for my malibu all around.
