Yeah, I was advised to not go too dark because it'll be tough to reverse at night.

I have 18% carbon all around except for the front windshield -- which is stock.
I noticed that it's a bit too dark when I try to reverse... Luckily I didn't go any darker.
I live in SoCal and there are plenty of cars around here with blatantly illegal tints.
I believe any tinting to the front windshield is illegal in CA.

Was pulled over for a speeding ticket and went through a check-point before and the cops didn't question my tint. Maybe because my car is black and the interior is black.

But I have experienced it. Last night I put a on pair of dark sunglasses and tired to drive off. After running over an old lady walking her dog, hitting two trash cans and four cars from the rear, I decided it was not a good idea.

I got 20% all around. I'm living in Portland right now and the cops seem to be pretty chill about tints around here. The state limit is 35% for all windows, much better then the tint laws in CA.

I have 15% on the rear 3 windows and 20% on the front 2 windows.

On my G35 I had 5% all the way around and 50% on windshild. Honestly it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Pretty much impossible to see at night. Looked good but I would never do it again.
