mine is 20%, i like it because its more shaded in the car. and its still very easy to see out anyways. even at night. the law here is only a strip on tint 5 inches at the top of your window. nothing lower than that. its super stupid and looks really bad if you tint like that

5% in the back and 15% in the front and ive already got a ticket for the front one so im going to remove it and wait a little bit and go a little lighter maybe 35%. youd think with all the sun in california theyd atleast give you a number thats allowable in the front but nope anything in the front is illegal.

85% is allowed on the front windows in Cali, but that's pretty much like not having tint at all cause you can't even tell.

I think mine are 35%? not sure though, I usually drive with my windows down all the time, even if it is to hot out! I don't use the AC that much when driving!

mine are:
30% -door windows
15% - back 3 windows
15% - front windshield visor
Once the car isn't a daily driver I'm gonna do 15% on the front as well but it's too risky with the legal limit only being 35% or I may just say screw it & go 5% all around lol


sometimes it looks darker lol i wish it was that dark all of the time

yeah thats not even really worth doing thing is there are sooo many people who have tint its just on how unlucky you are if they stop you. and i guess i have crap luck. my tint guy told me hes had a few guys with monte carlos come back to him because they get stopped i guess its just the car that attracts the police. either way ill go a bit lighter and try my luck again after a month.
