Well, there's no going back now. I went with 20% because the tint guy suggested it and I've gone to him for my two other cars, so I was cool with it. Looks awesome, but I will be leaving my moonroof cover open during the day so that there's more light coming in. Now I need to figure out where to get my car inspected...Any Boston area people know where to go?

I have about 17% all around, and I think it's too light.

I'm gonna try and go 5% this summer.

I went back there and the guy suggested 20% with my Ivory Pearl exterior. Looks awesome, but inspection is what I'm worried about now. I am asking around to see if anyone knows of a place in the Boston area that would ignore the illegal tint. Got any suggestions?

I probably should of gone with 35%, but it was a last minute decision.

I have 35% up front & 20% in the rear, and yes, due to the stock tint, the fronts turn out to be lower in the end. When I had my car inspected he told me it didn't pass (brought it to a Mobil station near where I live). Told him I asked for the legal tint when I had my car done. He was cool & just told me not to come back to him if I get a ticket for it & warned me about it.

I have been pulled over once by a Statie before & he didn't check it or say anything to me......but 20% is definitely darker.

Good luck w/ your 20% tint since you already did it & hope you don't get pulled over!

Jim
