Legal here is 50%...I got 35% all around and haven't been bothered in 2 years. It's light enough that cops don't care, but dark enough to still look good.

be a man and get 5% all around and just be on top of your power windows. If you don't get 5s you will always be like **** i wish my tint was that dark whenever you see someone rolling around with em.

5% looks like garbage in my opinion. It looks like someone too black paint and painted your windows completely.

5% is good for shows and that's about it. It's totally useless when trying to back up and look out of the windows at night.

20-30% is good and looks good too. You can still see through the windows and you don't have problems backing up at night.

The important thing is getting a quality tint job. make sure you get them to take the tint all the way to the top of your front side windows with no lines. Alot of places bitch and say they cant or it will peel but they just suck at tinting tell them you want a factory tint line. Also make sure you get a black vinyl strip over the dot matrix (little dots at top) of your rear glass. Also get black vinyl strips put over the dots surronding the rear glass and side rear window glass. If you get a front strip on the winshield i reccomend not getting the vinyl over the dots b/c it will make a cool pattern. [/url][/IMG]

**** i cant get my pics to show up look at my images if you want to see.

when i had 35% i never got pulled over (35% is legal)
when i had 15%, i literally got pulled over on my way to the tint shop to get it changed to 5 percent
now ive had 5% all the way around for only about 4 days and no problems yet

^^thats for the front windows, my rear 3 are all 5% (legal)
