Not 5%...

If you get 5% I can promise you that you won't be able to see at night, and cops will give you more attention.

BUT, no one can see inside your car to steal anything, you get SO MUCH MORE privacy, and people will always compliment you on the tint.

Choose wisely

I've never had any REAL problems with my tint (2 cops said it set off my cars paint, 1 cop said it was dark).

You'll be able to see, but barely, 20-25% seems to be a good tint.

Were you in my car at night???

Next time you are in town I want you to be in my car at night on Lafitte LaRose, tell me you can see, lol!

I've had 5% tint for over a year now, and I've finally gotten used to it ... I've only hit 3 kids and a dog in the process! LMAO!

(BTW, I didn't "hit" the kids, I was going 2mph around the turn and i finally saw him when the front of my car was around the turn and I lightly pressed the brakes ... all 3 times, same kid, same spot, same situation. Dog was an honest mistake )

Depends on the state.

Chances are, no.

I got 30 on the door windows, and 20 on the back. He said it was the darkest legal. I wish I had gone darker though.
