Default pics of 50% or 70% window tint?

I live in Illinois where the laws are rediculous. 0% tint on sides or front.

Nonetheless.. Id like to get either 50% or 70% tint all the way around and want to see if either one would look too obvious (get me pulled over) by the cops.

Im not after cop-safety replies, pics of 20% tint, etc. But if you do have 50 or 70 I'd love to see it - to see if its worth it, and if I think I could get away with it and not be asking for a ticket.

My car is black, with the grey leather interior - so not real dark inside.

i dont have any pics but its goin to be barely noticeable, especially 70%. I wouldnt bother with 70% ever.


I just did this, go to google, type in "50% tint" or whatever % you want. Click search, then click on images. It will bring up several pics

0% means you can't see through the window at all. Limo tint is 5%. 20% all the way around looks classy on luxury cars. 35% most people do their front windows with here in CA. Anything less is pointless.

I have 5% all 5. I would do my windshield with 35% if it wasn't so illegal. They can arrest you, impound the car, and fine you. not worth imo. The front driver/pass is only a fix it ticket here.

if you are concerned about a ticket and dont want that headache then go with 50% tint on the front windows and limo on every other window you can find (except w/s of course). The darker tint on all the other windows will darken your cabin and the 50% will almost create the illusion at angles especially when its raining that it is much darker. It is however light enough no cop is going to hastle you over it b/c they can see inside your car when trying to and that is why tint laws exist. I had this same settup on my black lincoln ls I just sold and it looked good, also never got a moments hastle from cops and our laws are simlar to yours. It's never gonna look as awesome as 5% all around but its a cool settup you can get away with...

IMO, anything over 50% is so light that it isn't worth paying for.
