This is mine, I live in the Mukwonago area off of 164. I don't know what %tint it is because it was on the car when I bought it and didn't think to ask =(.. But I haven't had any issues at all and it's pretty dark..

Do what's allowed, so later on you don't start a thread on how you got a fine & tint ticket.

if you go over what's allowed then you risk a fine, ticket and they make you take it off and you end up wasting your money having it put on. After I tinted the Cobalt I had I was getting pulled over when ever a cop would pull up beside me. Most cops do not like when they can't see as good as they should who's in the car with tinted windows

The only time you can get a ticket is state patrol on the freeway, cops around me dont have the little tint gun that tells them how much light is coming into your car

Wish I could get the whole car for 70 bucks. Cheapest you can get around here is close to 300. But yeah I'd go closer to the legal limit cause you'll get pulled over eventually.

ayyy im in WI too. lol. Milwaukee. Yea legal limit for tint in WI is pointless. Im at 20% front and back with vinyl over the rear dot matrix and never had a problem with cops. I even have my tail lights blacked out and the cops dont say nothing and ive had em parked behind me, and even where i work i park next to a city cop all the time and i asked him one time about the tint and he said if u can put ur license to the window and see it through the tine they dont care. But thats down by me bro not sure how **** the cops r by u

I have 5% in the rear 20% in the doors and 50% in the windshield, I'm not happy with the 20% and 50% it's not dark enough for me.
