5% rear, 15% sides, 50% windshield. No problems driving in the day (obviously), and at night as well.

Mines between 40% & 45% with Suntek Carbon Film on sides and rear.
With the additional factory tint, it is approximately 35% which is legal limit here in MA.

IDK the tint laws where you guys are, but that's ballzy. I feel like a cop could EASILY tell the difference between your sides and windshield, and thus hit you with a tint ticket.

That's the reason I did my front at 50%.

FWIW, if anyone is wondering, 50% is lighter than the sunroof tint. I would say sunroof is about 30%, since my sides at 15% are darker/let less light through.

I'm curious, how do you see with 5% limo tint on your front windshield at night?

Even cloudy days or less than ideal visibility, sounds like a bad idea imo.

I'm in NJ and got 35% SAT( Solar Adaptive Transition) Tint all around and the windshield 75% SAT also that rejects up to 70% of heat... And the trick with these ceramic transitional tints is that they get 5-10% darker in the sunlight and in daylight in general, the lightest they are is the 35%... Done by EVS Motors in Houston, TX



A little bit more about the SAT tint that is only offered by 2 dealers nationwide

EVS HEAT DEMO

Top Slide: No window tint at all. BTU Meter: 473

2nd Slide: Typical cheap window tint dealerships install on new cars, and ones you often find for about $100. BTU Meter: 453

3rd Slide: Huper Optik Ceramic 40 BTU Meter: 130

4th Slide: Solar Adaptive Transitional window tint 45% BTU Meter: 44

I've had this setup on all my previous vehicles for the last 14 yrs, so I kind of gotten used to it. Even on sunny days I still need to wear sunglasses.
