i got mine on 25%
its dark enuf. but its still too light.. if you know what i mean..
like it reflects the sun so cool in summer, and on the right angle you cant see into it..

but cos the front window on our car is massive and it lets so much light in to the car so the tints arent as strong as they would be on a normal car. so if the sun is directly infront of us.. the tints almost look like its 35%..

hope it makes sense.

ive got 20% 3m tint. looks hot lol.. but as ekdez said, when there is light coming in through the front windscreen, it makes the front driver and passenger side windows look a bit light. however if ur driving with the sun behind you, or if its not directly shining in through the front windscreen, then it looks gangster.

here's a couple of pics:

you will also need to adjust to night driving. it took me like a week or so to get used to the tint when driving at night. it makes it a lot harder to see, if u wanna keep ur windows up.

I got 30% but im thinkin of goin 20%. My 30% is fully legal but ive never had illegal tint and every time i see really dark tint driving by i think "omg that looks awesome but i dont know if its worth it"

not too sure what mine is..but apparently it's the darkest legal tint. pretty good in summer..keeps the sun out so my arms don't get burnt etc. haha..but at night..SUCKS. especially if it's raining too..see shit all.

wouldn't mind going something a little lighter.

35% is the legal max tint, not 30%

as above vti boy said, it could possibly void insurance claims etc.

Im on 30% and i dont know what itsl ike in other states but in WA thats legal. I even have a Tintacar Document stating the legality which i was given by my mate that worked there. I've also got it inspected at the pits and have a permit for it just incase.
