+1

You also gotta consider how **** the cops around your area are...I would say 15%...any darker and you wont be able to see out of your windows at night

lol why do you want people to see you in your stang? are you trying to get a modeling gig lol?

Im pretty sure your car is bad *** and unique enough looking they would know your in it.

Go buy some cheap tempt tint from auto zone and toss it on and I bet u drive to the tint shop right after

In MO the legal amount is 15% on the back and 35% on the sides, none on the windshield, and thats what I have. If I were to do it again I would probably get 20% on the sides, especially if my car was black. I would never go darker than 15% anywhere on my car, I drive at night quite often, and I like being able to see. With 15% on the back I can still turn around and back up in the pitch black and still see decent.
edit* I lied, you can use anything on the back windows in missouri, but I still would not go darker than 15%.

I have the legal limit. But I would do 20% . I had a family member with a Thunderbird 88 or 89. He had a 5% with like 3 or 4 layers.

5% all the way around looks the best.

The current tint law in Georgia is 32% (plus or minus 3%) which sucks . I talked to a cop buddy of mine told me that they on really care about the two front windows so I went with 30%Front and 20%Rear. I am happy with the outcome, but I do agree with the darker the better.
