Why the hell does anyone tint the windshield? I have sen a few cars on base with it and thats just ******* retarded. Yeah it cuts down on the glare but I bet half of you still wear sunglasses with it. Sorry but I like to be able to see where i'm going. Now the rest of the windows, go as dark as you want, if you hit someone crossing the street then it's their fault for not seeing and hearing a ******* car coming down the street.

Been there done that on my last car (5% all around except the windshield). Got pulled over too many times, and had my car broken into because they couldnt see inside and realize I had nothing to steal. Thats why I decided not to tint my cobalt at all. Havent had any problems.

anyways, 5% on the sides and 20% rear would be perfect.

5% is overkill. I had 20% on sides and 15% on back on my last vehicle it was decent. Still hard to see out of at night. Always had to roll side windows down when turning or reversing.

like several guys said before having a doctors note will not change the fact that cops have RIGHT to harass you non stop. They say they pull you over for tint then you pull this doctor note which they know is crap if you have other mods then they with just pick you/your car apart.

Ive had it happen before and they went through the whole "I detect marajuana" thing, when i had never smoked in my life and the car has never even had cigarettes in it. Was an hour late for work, sat on the curb in the cold while they ripped through my car.... found nothing, total bullshit just cause of tint.

On my old gp I had 5% all around....cop pulled me over got wrote up for "swerving, driving on shoulder, tinted tail light covers, tinted license plate, illegal headlight bulbs, and speeding" then she threatened to call a k9 unit to search the car..I can say I was speeding, but didn't do any of the other things ...she was nice enough to just give me a fix it ticket for the tints .I'm 17, haybroDonttazemebro it's just for looks!

Im not trying to be an ass, just correcting the grammer..im not a kid, im 32 years old, i know how to speak...

Anyways, i would do what you said earlier and do 50% front window, and 15% everything else. In your state, you should be fine with that.

My dads an eye doctor!


But I still don't realize that there are limits of how dark it can be with that prescription and no matter what and I can only have a 5" strip on the front windshield legally!

Lucky but if i were to tint the front winshield, 50% would be the darkest i'd go

And in this vid 35% looks really dark
