Tint Percentage....?

Sure 5% tint looks cool but there are several disadvantages, you'll be a target
for every cop that sees your car....they don't like not being able to see who's
in the car. At night you'll be blind as bat, you won't be able to see anything
out your back window. 35% is good enough and cops (most of the time) will
leave you alone.... If you decide to go with the 5% tint don't bother
posting how you got a ticket....no crybaby ****!

i wouldnt say the back is all that bad at night. the only prob at night i have is when you are going to take a corner and you cant see out of your side windows too well for pedestrians

iam just scared of 2 things.
one is having to fix it with a fix it ticket
and two not being able to see at night through the back window

if you have dark interior get %15, %5 will be too dark to see your side mirrors at night.

go big or go home. i have 15% all around and honestly it's not dark enough during the day. i want at least 7% all around. at night it's already difficult to see so i gotta roll it down anyway. 5-7% imo

just go 35 all around coz 5% is crazy dark! its a bitch to back up
also if you have your tails blacked out thats gonna be another ticket once the cop pulls you over for your windows. sometimes its not a fix it ticket so be careful

I have 30% on the front two windows then 5% on the little back windows and the big back window. I like the way it looks. I had 5% all around on my Subaru Impeza wagon and it looked really nice but it was SO dark inside at night and hard as eff to see when backing up. Plus yeah in CA the cops (down here at least) are all crazy with the tint tickets.
