If your looking to tint the windows, go with something dark. And depending on where you live, tinting the drivers side and passengers side windows are illegal. But the darker you go, the better the car looks. And aside from completely blacking out the windows, tints are all pretty functional.

It's not worth it to get legal tint in Louisiana or Texas..trust me I've lived in both.

Go with 5% or 10%...looks really nice but you can still see out really well most of the time...

99.9% of police officers aren't going to stop you for your tint....and if you do get pulled over...just roll both of your windows down, and they usually won't notice.

10% is to dark. The legal limit in MD is 35%, and 20% looks perfect, and wont get you pulled over

I have 15% and I wish I wouldn't have gotten that dark, honestly. It looks good, but if everything around you isn't well-lit, it can be tough to see at night.

I live in Cali and its 25% here i believe...anyway...DONT GET LIMO TINT!!!! I made the mistake of getting limo and now cant back up at night without rolling down my window because my back window is so dark I cant see out the back...sad times...I got limo on the back 3, and 5% on the front 2 and its so dark. I cant see in through the back window with a flashlight....I just say dont do it. It look beautiful but so hard to see out of. I think I will get it removed soon...oh and it cost me $140 with a lifetime warrenty.

Hope this helps,
Matt

my friend has something around 20% and he did get pulled over here in PA.. he told the cop he had an eye problem or something? and the cop asked for a doctors note but let him slide anyway and just asked if there were any drugs in the car lol...

but my cousin wasn't so lucky.. in NJ the cops told him to get the front two window tints off and they put a new sticker on his car which would expire in 30 days im pretty sure he got fined aswell


also.. I'd have to just add that almost any amount of tint will affect night driving not just the limo tint etc. if the guy behind you doesn't have his headlights on you might not be able to see him!
