Default 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!

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..

20 is good because cops won't pull you over. Do not go 35. way too light.

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

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.

so is 20 percent in GA 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.

It all depends on where you live, i dont think winshield tint is stupid. I dont think a car or truck looks good with all the windows 20% and the windshield not tinted. Thats how my truck looked, i didnt like it.

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.
