Ok, so i'm getting my windows tinted on friday, and i was wondering if any of you had a personal preference as to the % that i should go. I was thinking about 5% in the back and 20% on the front.But i'm not sure if i want to go all the way around the same tint, or mismatch...how bad does it look if it is different... |  |  | | 04-12-2006, 09:18 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 |

I had 35% all the way around which was the legal limit in Mass at the time. But when i moved to RI i had top remove the tint from the front windows. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

20% all the way around. I've been stopped for it, but I know a cop that signs off on equipment violations for me if I take her out for dinner! __________________

20% all the way around. Or if you don't wanna break the law then go with 35% (or whatever is legal where you live) all the way around. Don't stagger it. | | | | | 04-12-2006, 10:56 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |

i was going to add the legality on it is debatable, even if you are stopped.. unless the officer does a scientific and approved test at the scene of the incident.. that evidence is accepted by a judge AND is non-negatable.. AND those tests conclude that the total visibility < 35%
thus.. just don't make it too dark and you're fine __________________
