I would post a pic but my car looks almost like mvr. I have 20% and have been pulled over for it twice. I live in Cali but to this day i have not got a fix-it ticket from them. I just tell them the car came like that and they go oh... umm alright.

How would 50% on the front and sides? 75% on rear? That's the legal allowed down here.

Are you serious? 75%? You couldnt even tell it was on there. IMO, anything over 35% is not worth the money

What would look good on a mineral gray? I think I would like 20%, anyone know the laws in Alabama?
Hey jp! The Alabama law is 32% all around with a +or- 3% tolerance so you can go as high as 35% or as low as 29% and be okay. I have 5% (actually 1% metered) and have been stopped once for it. Ive had it on for about a year. Its not a heavy fine, so don't worry about it. Although I don't know how strict those B'ham area cops are tho.

Here is my tint. I have 20% on the quarter windows and the rear window. 35% on the side windows. Here in Massachusetts, 35% is the legal limit but most of the cops only have the one piece tester so they can only test the side windows. I went with 20% on the rear and it is plenty dark. Just so you know, if you have a darker interior your tint will appear darker. Also if all of your windows are tinted, your windshield will appear darker because there is less light in the car.

my car came with 35% and it is soooo light compared to my old car which was 5%. if you want a nice look, but can still see out, get 20% its perfect. you can barely see in at night time, but its pretty visible in day time.
