Default What is the best tint % in your opinion for a black mustang?

35% is the legal limit in CT, but I think thats too light.

I was thinking about going 25%..opinions, pics?

darkest the better. I got 35/30 and wish it was darker, however theres a fine line of not dark enough and getting harrased. To me spending the money to have it stripped off and redone wasnt worth it. That gets pricy and time consuming. If I were to do it again I would go with 20 though

5% all around and 35% on the front and your looking nasty.

Like somebody else said the darker the better.

ya my car is hard to see out of at night to, I have the shr louver painted completly so minus 2 extra windows and the limo tint and u got one dark *** car. My step mom said she feels like she is in a **** pit. But the way it looks is def worth it, especially during the day when u cant see anybody driving the car.

You have 35 on the windshield?

I run 5% back 5. Clear windshield because in CA its a misdemeanor..not worth getting impounded and fined for me.
