I live in Cali and tint laws suck, so i played it safe with this combo. the front doesn't look that dark but works great protecting me against the heat.

Please don't do this. Go even all around. I would suggest 15 rear 35 sides and 50 windshield... nix the windshieldif you want, but keep the sides even.

i'm not sure how our G's work with the navigation and all, but i played things safe with a non-metallic, carbon based film by suntek. 18% all around + 40% in the front. i can say for sure, it's one of the most natural looking tints out there. doesn't fade blue, or have a noticeable hue to it like other products i've seen (johnson).

I live in CT and this is what the Tint law states

• Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
• Front Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
• Back Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
• Rear Window Any darkness can be used.

I like the way the vehicle looks with a 15% tint, but guess need to go with the legal limit....Also, I have a black interior and 35% is not going to block the inside view completely..

the law notices it just depends on weather or not they want to do anything about it...most of the time they dont care but there is always that 1% out there that will get you for it.

+1 Agree... It looks stupid when the car has diffrent shades on the side windows.

The sedans with 30's looks like stock don't waste your money on something thats is a little better than stock. I know at least 5 people that had 35s and had them redone to 20's because of the tinted look they were going for.

Here in CA it's a "fix it" ticket. They give you a ticket, something like $100, and then that gets decreased to $25 after you bring your car, with now legal tint, to a police station and they confirm it's good.

Don't go 5 with 35 on windshield! One of our friends did that and it looks really good but you can barely see him! It's a ticket waiting to happen. And they take windshields really serious in Cali.
