Nice choice. That's what I have, but tint isn't legal here in NJ on the front windows. I've only been asked about it once since I've owned the car, so it works out.

damn haha how is it at night time? At 20% I can still see everything fine. Just wondering if that limo-look tint affects any visibility

I had my 15% tint all around for 2 years, then a cop cited me for the tint so I got them removed. A few days later my car gets hit by another car... so IMO, no tint = x10 likely to get into an accident. lol

35% is perfect for CA drivers. Just enough tint to cool the interior and for the cops to not give a second look. But then again, SF isn't exactly a place where light shines bright. lol

lol yea. When I got pulled over for my 20% tints, he measured it at 16%. Might be the dirt on the windows

Was your tints 5%? And you tinted the windshield too? Man that would stick out like a sore thumb on a CSM lol

Stock tint is 70% so it makes the tint alittle bit darker. My 20% came out to 18%

It's all about the 5% baby. And as far as night time goes, there's a reason you got two auto-press window switches!
