That picture that jtstakelin took is from the darkest angle. Although tint looks a lot darker on a lighter color car, if he took that from the back of the car, it wouldn't look as dark. But 20% for a gray or white car would be pretty damn dark.
The way I chose what percentage of tint I wanted is looking at my friends cars. I don't think the picture does a lot with tinting...it looks a lot darker in the picture than what it really is sometimes.

that looks sick.......also how **** are cop about illegal tint? like I was looking at the laws for NC and its 35% but when I travel to my grandparents house which is in OH I travel through virginia where it is illegal and OH it is too and also PA where my other grandparents are from. But its just illegal on the passengers side so what are the chances you think?

You must have the warranty fior your tint to prove the darkness %.
fricken caps lock..
Its as dark as you want it in my state as long as its no lower than the AS-1 line
that is present on all modern day windshields.

ok so after trying to put tint on myself it was just going to take to long and end up costing about 50 bucks. So I emailed a shop around me and asked him how much it would cost to tint my back window and side windows and he said 200$ and its life time warranty. My question is, is this a good deal or should I keep searching?

wow I'd be so pissed if that happened to me. I always understand getting in trouble if you knowledgeably do something wrong, but thats excessive
