I'm looking at doing tint too. I want to go 20% all around (except the windshield of course) but I'm not sure. My friend got 35% and it's a little darker, but doesn't seem worth the money since it's really not much darker.
Beautiful stang. Those silver or hypercoated Saleens?

20 all around is a great percentage... that's what i have and i LOVE it..
like someone mentioned before, just dont give the cops a reason to pull you over and you shouldn't have anything to worry about
and i also drive with my windows down all the time lol

That may work depending on where you live and how bad the cops are. I know people who have gotten pulled over specifically for their tint. I went 35% on the front two and 20% on the back and I think it looks great. Even after parking in the sun the leather isn't that hot, plus no worries about a ticket.

it all depends if you see cops everyday. I don't so I would do limo tint and when I see a cop I'll lower the windows! haha
I know what ya mean though, I hate when ppl look at me! AND, I fuKinn hate the heat and the leather does not help so it helps keep the inside cool.

I have 20% on the front 2 and 5% on the back 3. The only place I catch any flak for it is on base. In Cali your not aloud to have tint on the front window's, but I have NewYork plates.

I should have worded what I said better. I meant to say that the 35% is a little darker than stock. Guess it sounded like I was saying 35% was darker than 20%.

Ive got 20 % all around on mine and loving it. 35 is legal and doesnt cut it in the Bama summer heat. Cops wont pull you over unless you give them a reason to. They have better things to do than to give out tint tickets because most of them are fix it tickets that can get throwed out. Long as you dont drive crazy id get the darker if can. Anything lower than 20 affects visibility at night and not worth it.
