Window Tint

What % do you have, where did you get it installed, and how much did you pay?

Wisconsin
Front Side 50%
Back Side 35%
Rear 35%

Are these numbers correct?

I have 23% all around and striped double thick on the windshield. I paid 120 or so for all of it from a guy I met, can't get that dark in MN from a shop. Best of all...it's perfectly legal. I still get pulled over once in a while, but I have a doctor's prescription for it. Looks awesome on the black SS!

yeah, I'm looking to get tinted, although I don't want too much attention from the po's. I have a black ss, and I know it will look good. Anyone have any good pics of their cars and Tint %...

Do you tinted guys ever get hassled by the wonderful police because of it?

Thanks for the replys by the way.

I got pulled over by a state trooper one time with my S-10 Xtreme. Had 12% and he didn't like it so much and gave me the whole speil about why tint is bad and blah blah blah.
I found out that in Wisconsin you can legally tint the driver and passenger front windows 50% and 35% with a perscription.

I also have a black SS and I've had the tint for just over a month. I've never been hassled for it, but my tint isn't extreme (35% driver & passenger front-side windows, 18% on others, no windshield tint). Btw, tint on a black SS looks awesome

I've had my tint on for 10 months now and have been pulled over 3 times specifically for it. Happened within the first few months, but not since.

Here's a couple pics.
