well limo tint would look the best. but its not worth the ticket. if u care, find out the max amount of tint allowed in your state legally. 15% looks good but not toooooooo dark

I got 5 on the back and 35 in the front. Its illegal in Michigan to have any tint on the front and its light enough where cops haven't messed with me and still Dark enough to give someone the bird.

in NY, any tint except the stock tint on side windows is illegal
i had 35% in the front and 20% in the back on my old car, and 20% looked better

i'm shopping for tint right now, and for a black car, I think 20% is the best
