Tint question
I was thinkin about getting tints soon, and i cant deside on 20% or 35%, b/c i have a white car with tan interior....so i was thinkin 20% on the back windows and 35% on the front driver and passenger side. So if any one has any pics of 20 on back and 35 up front i would like to see before i acttually do it...thanx!

RE: Tint question
Thats 20% all around.. I kinda wish I went 15% because in the day light you can still see in the car pretty good.. I would not suggest 35% anywhere.. Its just not dark enough and a waste of money if you ask me..

not to mention it'll get you pulled over for nothing else but a tint violation and the cop will probably give you a bonus violation since he'll think you're an idiot for having a tinted windshield.

tinting the winshield is illegal, there is a mark on the windshield about 5 inches down from the roof, that is the only area your allowed to tint is above that mark. at least in texas

you have just as much a chance of getting pulled over for a tint on your side windows as your windshield. plus, depending on where you live, 35 percent is not illegal.

RE: Tint question
I was talking to somebody the other day about tinting your windshield. It looks awsome, but even at 35% it will restrict enough light to hinder your vision at night. I wouldn't do it. I'd say 15-25% all the way around. 35% is the darkest legal, at least in Mo, but 20-25% you should be safe most of the time. I wouldn't get the side windows a different tint than the back, either.
