        My car is 15% all the way around and I like it a lot.

        My wife's car is 20% all the way around and that is good as well.

        Lighter then 20% is a waste of money IMO, you can't even tell it is tinted.

              20% would work perfectly in a f-body ......it looks awesome .....you can still see at night .........people(cops) can still kinda see your body motion throught tint .......and it matches almost perfect with t-tops ........

                Oh, ok. I think I had it backwards. So 20% is a darker tint than 30%.


                Yea, seeing out of the windows at night is pretty useful. Although, with limo tint (not sure what % that is, that's just what the guy called it) you can still see out, unless you're having to back up in a non-lit area. Then down-they-go. But being able to stare at ppl without them seeing you is fun.

                    I totally agree. 5% is too dark, quite difficult to drive at night.

                    15% and 20% are very close. I like dark, so 15% is for me, but 20% is really great as well.

                    Yes, the lower the number the darker the tint. The numbers available are 5%, 15%, 20%, and 30%. As mentioned earlier, don't go with 30% you will not be happy.

                          If you live in Missouri, don't go over 35* on the sides. Our windows have about a 5* tint. I have been stopped twice in the last three weeks. When they check it it shows as 29* and 30*. No tickets yet just warnings.

                              It was illegal here up to a couple of years ago. But I had a friend that used the prescription thing. But he lost in the end. He got pulled over all the time. They would let him go on the tint but sometimes they would find something else.
