I wont go under 35% becouse I dont want a ticket.

So 35% is best for me.

I had 5 in back 3 and 20 driv and pass.

I have none now. I got 3 tickets in 3 months. Didn't have to take the rears off but I personally don't like it when you only have the rears tinted.

Thinking about going 35 all the way around. Police are hard around here for me.

If you don't care, 5% FTW! Deff looks the best IMO.

i had 2 layers of 5% of suntek carbon on the back and side windows and 35% on the windshield of carbon and it was the darkest **** you have ever seen, the installer reccomended some stuff called infiniti for the windshield cuz its easier to see out of but more reflective, im guessing its about the same as the titanium...

had the tint for like 6 months til i got pulled over pulling out of mcdonalds

still got the windshield tint and double 5% on the back windows but just have 35% on the sides now which looks terrible IMO

and to the dude with 15% on the windshield, im glad someone else feels my pain...my 35% isnt as dark but with tinted headlights seeing infront of me at night is a BITCH

i talked with a few cops around me that said darker tint is much more noticeable on lighter color cars. They said i might get away with 20% on the front and they said my friend most likely wont get pulled over with 5% b/c his car is black and harder to notice
