Default Window Tint

Hi guys i just bought a 99 3.8 5 speed, its black with black GT rims. I want to put windo tint on the vehicle but i do not know which grade, i dont really care about being legal. I was thinking %5 on the side and rear window but i dont know what to put (if anything on the winshield). Also does anyone know about how much this will cost?
Thanks for the advise.

Around here, it usually runs around 125.00. Are there any laws in your state concerning how dark it can be?

Your from IL... 100% illegal on your doors. Rear and quarter windows can be as dark as you want. No shop around here will even think about tinting your whole windshield. You can only tint 6.5" down from the top of windshield. I have tint on all windows (except windshield). If you need to know a good shop for tints, PM me and ill give you the info.

I just tinted my 05. Its black/black interior. I went with the Platnium. It looks shiny silver not black or smoke. I looked at every black car with tint and the black windows blended too much IMO. Trying to be different in a stang is a challenge. In south FL it cost $150. Back window and sails are 15%, doors are 35% and I did not do the visor strip. The silver is also a better heat reflector according to dealer, cost was the same here.

i dunno why you would really wanna tint your windshield but i'd think it would be illegal in any state jus cause it could'impair' your vision. its time consuming but you could prolly do it while the right ****. i did mine, took bout 3 hours to jus do tha side windows, i realy took my time n had quite a few beer breaks.

tinting your winshield would subject you to an instant ticket.
Is your interios black? You may not have to go as dark if your interior is darker, it will make your tint seem darker but when the cops pull you over and check it will be legal.

I have 15% and I think its perfect.
I was in wendies and 2 cops waited outside for me, when I got done I went to my car, rolled down my windows and drove off. THey folowed me for 3 miles and then pulled me over. They kept repeating this is double the legal limit over and over. Then at a local meet coprs blocked in the entrance and gave tickets for every little thing. I waited inside a restraunt for 3 hours untill all 8 of them left.
