What % tint are you using

Im going to get my tint redone tomorrow.

In Texas you must allow 25% of light to pass through the front windows.
Knowing this im thinking about going with 35% tint which will equal out to about 25% of light passing through the windows. (legal)

The rear windshield im thinking about either 5% or double 5%. I rarely back up and also in Texas everyone has a truck with extremely bright lights.

Anyone have stories or comments about running 5% tint on the rear? Or maybe even 20% on the front glass?

Basically I just want to know how much it will effect my ability to see out. I rarley drive this car at night. Its basically my get to work car

I have 1% all around and granted it can be a little tough to work with but you do actually get adjusted to it. In NYC legal limit is 75% and you can bet it's way illegal but studying to become a police officer, and having family on the force helps out lol.

Double Limo might be steep but as you stated you don't back up often so why not. I had a friend who ran double limo all around and 35% front windshield.

20% all around wins the prize. Tint tickets are just a subscription fee.

35% in the back which is the most you can have in New Hampshire (Live free or die). I think if you get 25% in the front you'll be fine because there's hardly anything on there stock. I think the back of my windows are really 32% total but to be bothered the cop would have to have a really good eye and be a wicked jerk to bother you (or not pass inspection for that matter).
