Default Tints ?

I got my windows tinted about a half a year ago... 35% fronts, 20% rear.. And now i think its not dark enough.. theres color, but i feel like people can see just as much as normal, and im not liking it. So i am thinking of going darker, but dont want to be pulled over by the cops. So i was thinking of going 25% all the way around. is 25% much different than 20%? Does anyone have 25% all around they can post? I've seen 20s all around, fvcking love it, but don't want the pops to get mad cause its not obeying the law. Or what if i went to 30% on fronts down from the 35s, would i notice a difference?

20's all around never been bothered

Ya even doing 35 is illegal in some states. Do what you feel comfortable with. Also depends on what towns you are mainly in. Im sure small towns wont care as much as if your driving through a heavily crowded town.

I have 5% all around on my BSP, and it looks pretty good. Never been bothered by the cops, nor do I have a huge problem at night when driving. You get used to it after a while, and if I have any problems backing out of a dark driveway, I just roll the window down.

alright so here is what i am thinkin... i will keep the 35% on the front side windows, go to 20% on the quarter windows, and seee what he thinks about tinting the sunroof and moonroof more.. Idn if the sunroof tint would get damaged at all or what. Or what % tint should i go on the roof so that its not blacked out, but like limo? what do people think? that way its still legal, wont make the pops mad, and still gets me the darkness of the windows
