Get 20% should have no trouble as I don't

Get 5% if you're daring...looks awesome. My brother has had no trouble for months with 5%.

5% does look great, 15% for everyday comfort and cops would hardly trouble you, anything lighter than 20% is a waste of money.

Cops tend to do jack shit.. Its more worrying when insurance companies can void ur claim if they find ur illegal tint caused an accident

search the appearance gallery, i remember seeing a thread a while ago based on window tints, u just gotta think 2 yourself, if a cop drives next to you and looks at your window tints, will he/she think 2 themselves "these windows are 2 dark?" or will they think nothing of it and move on....

also remember insurance... 35% is legal limit anything darker than that is most probably going 2 be the sole reason u rear ended someone in their opinion :p

Go with 15-20%. I went with 15% and never had any trouble with cops.

I dunno how people cant drive with 5% tints for the drivers window. You can see what your gonna turn in to at night

please dont go 5%. looks cool but at night on a dark road you can't see outside your drivers window. AND in the rain goodluck seeing at all. thats from my experience. mix it up. u can put the rears to 5% and fronts at 15%.r

You can as dark as you want on the back and rear side windows but 35% is the legal limit in the fronts. I had 20% all round and it looks great no trouble seeing at night
