Awesome MB! I agree with you about the 20% being a little too light. BO needs to matched with dark-*** tint to really bring out the blackness!

I went 5% all around and I have no problems seeing out at night or in the dark. Does wonders during the day, though!

I am going with 3M's FX-HP tint. My local laws don't allow me to have any tint on the front windows so I don't want to go too dark and attract attention to myself. I also want the same percentage of tint on all windows so I decided to get with 35% on all 5 windows. Hopefully I won't be bothered too much by the Police with 35% all around.

Why would 35% all around get attention from the police? 35% is usually the legal percentage for tint(albeit fairly light tint) in most states in the US, just as long as the front windshield isn't tinted.

What's 'legal' tint darkness in Canada?

Oh, I can go darker for the rear windows.....I can go 5% if I want. The issue is that I want the two front windows tinted as well (which is illegal here), but I also don't want two different shades of tint. I would rather have it consistent on all windows. I figure if I go 35% on the front windows, the Police won't bother me too much.

I'm getting my G tinted soon and would rather go lighter than have differing shades of tint. In Illinois, we're technically not allowed any tint to the left and right of the driver, but I'm going to do 35% on everything but the front windshield.

In the past, I've had cars in New Jersey with 5% everywhere but the windshield (the top half of which was done) and I may as well have had a neon sign saying 'pull me over'.

You've got the same laws as I do and that's exactly why I am going with 35% all around. I'll post up a pick when I get it done on Monday.

MB, sorry for taking your thread OT.

I personally like even tint all around (minus on the front windshield for obvious reasons ), and nice classy shade - something like 35%. Too light defeats the purpose and too dark looks gangsta.

jmo.
