I know... Time and time again people post asking about tint. Time and time again chipper lays out the laws. Gets old...

 

My front side factory tinted windows were ~73% with my tinters light meter.
He wanted to show me that any additional film would make them illegal and I sign a waiver to release him of any liability if he put my Huper Optiks over those.

 

ive got 35% in the front 20% in the back.. havent been pulled over... yet *knock on wood*

 

50% all 5 windows. NEVER got pulled over for the tint.

 

Chris... 50% looks clean. If I had an M3, I would probably do 35% all around, but on the G, I think 20% looks good.

 

From the pictures I've seen, 35% seems to be a good medium between the look of luxury and that of sportiness. Too dark can appear gangster-ish or ricer-ish in my opinion

 

35% front two and 5% Around. got pulled over for having tinted taillights and no front plate. he didnt care about tint. this was up in Santa Rosa.

 

5% all around (Except windshield duh) and 2 tint tickets so far (in 2 years)

its worth it IMO... 1 fix it ticket per year is nothing to worry about

 

didn't the law change for the tint tickets? posting from my treo otherwise I would look it up.

 

What kind of changes are you thinking about? It's still 70%, or basically nothing, allowed for front/passenger sides...

Looking through pictures, I've noticed ceramic quite a bit more transparent, so a 35% ceramic is more like a 40-50% dyed film, it appears.

 

5% all around cept windshield, been ticketed twice now

 

Yeah right after getting it done, I wished I had gotten 35% but then again if I had gotten 35% I would've ended up wishing I had gotten 50. hahaha.

 

I got 35% on mine & live 2 minutes from Santa Clara's finest. I think theyve seen my car so many times they know im not a shady character lol.

 

i thought the penalty went up for the fine, i tried searching but couldn't find anything on it. Was probably just a rumor

 

I have 20% all around. Got pulled over once in Walnut Creek by a motorcycle cop. He used one of those window tint meters and it the tint came up as 18%. so technically I have 18% all around. lol
