Window Tinting, how dark do you go?
On my 2 door i tinted the driver passenger doors 20% and it honestly looks like 35... what works better? and should i tint the 5 other windows(halfs, rears, and back glass)?

thats my best picture for right now.. my camera is dead so i'll upload tomorrow

I kicked around the idea of tinting the front windows on my bravada at only 35%.. I did the front windows first and it did not match very well at all, and i got "fuzzed" by the local PD for tint. when i put in the flames is when i decided to redo the rear windows darker in 20% and its better, you cant tell in pictures below but the front windows were a different color than the back windows, the back windows factory have a brownish tint, tint you get (I used GILA) is kind of bluish/purplish even though very faint.
(20% against factory oem tinted glass is impressively darker from the outside, inside out is still very visible)
BE SURE YOUR READY FOR THAT ONE COP TO GIVE YOU HELL
First day of all 20%
then after I got pulled over I put my brain to work:
I plan on redoing it AGAIN, and may just deal with straight 20% on the front windows, when it gets nicer outside

I've got 20% all around with a tint strip at the top of the windsheild. It was all done by the previous owner.
This one sort of shows my tint. I didn't feel like searching my PB account.

Here in wonderful Texas (outside of Houston) I have had to strip my 2 front windows the last 2 years because they would not pass inspection thanks to the meter they hang on the glass :| I was using 20% and the state law is 35%.......Which is much of nothing when it comes to privacy. Also, the strip on the front windshield had to be removed because it was about a 1/2 inch below the ASI line......I really want to know how that is a safety concern??? I can understand having the dark tint on the front doors....But a piece of film on the front windshield........

Well i legitimately have eye problems where since i was 12 have been seeing the eye doctor for extremely photosensitive eyes (i have really blue eyes that don't block out a lot of light). So i put 20% on the front doors and am honestly thinking about getting 50 or maybe 35% on the windshield. i have 2 prescriptions for it.

I have Limo(5%) all around. But here they aren't the strictest on that law.
