I put 35% all around on mine which I'm getting ready to change. i'm going to 20 on the sides and 10 or 5 in the back windows. When in doubt...go darker, you won't regret it. Only like 40 % is legal in Ohio but I'm not too worried, if you get pulled over just roll the window down.

 

No, for the front door windows you can go no darker than 70% to remain legal in California. As you say, anthing is OK for the rears. It seems to make sense to me as one poster mentioned here, it is almost impossible for him to see anything from the sides at night with 35% tint.

It’s really an important consideration: Do you want your car to look real “cool” with illegal tints and thereby risk a bad accident at night, or do you want to acknowledge that tint laws exist to enhance road safety?

 

Here are a couple of pics of 15% metalized Llumar tint.





The wheels are FOR SALE by the way.

Shhhhh about my front windows.

As others have mentioned, in Cali you can only have 70% on the front windows. For the rear, you can use any darkness. I chose 35% all around (except for windshield) for 3 primary reasons:

1) Reduces the chances of getting a fix it ticket. Anything darker and I'd be more nervous for getting noticed.
2) I think having different shades (e.g., lighter on the front and darker on the back) looks absolutely horrible, but that's just me.
3) Nighttime visibility isn't severely compromised by the 35% shade.

Some people like it darker, but 35% was perfect for me. I think it looks classy.

Also, you aren't suppose to tint the windshield either, but there are plenty of tint shops that will do exactly that in Socal. Llumar (same company as F1) has come out with a line called Air Blue that was designed for windshield installation (i.e., to have better heat rejection properties at lighter shades).

 

What's up man I saw u on here talking bout tints. I have 15 percent all the way around and it looks great. If I went with 5 percent all the way around how do u think that would be with cops and seeing at night? Should I leave the 15? Do u think that 15 looked dark when u looked at it from the outside during the day time?

Not to flame you, but didn't you ask this over and over again in a thread until the thread got locked?

I guess to answer, looking at just the photo of the guy with 15 percent tint, IMO it looks cool but just to guess based on looking into the car it would be too dark for driving at night. 5 percent IMO would be way too dark. Would probably get you pulled over too, I could see the 15 percent in that photo getting people pulled over locally.

Now, if you want to ask this again, great! Guess what, I'll cut and paste my answer and post it again for you!
