Default Cali members, what tint do you have?

Aight here's the deal I'm thinking about getting tints all around, 20% for the side windows and hatch, and 50% ceramic/metallic/whateverthehell for the windshield. If I tint the sides then I'm not worried too much, hopefully cops don't notice because of the contrast.

So my question is what tint you guys got and do cops hassle you for it? I'ma ask the tint shop people what kind of tint material I need, I heard the ceramic reflects sun and heat so it'll be nice in the summer but if you guys got a suggestion thats good too.

I just hate the damn sun in my face, even when I wear sunglasses... I get on the freeway from Milpitas, 680 south to 280 north, then as the freeway curves around and before it merges into 280 BAM sun right in your face.... can't even read the badge on the car 15 ft in front of me cause all I see is my shiny *** dash.

Let me know, thanks.

Clean??? What does that mean?

It was fading like that when I got my car. I'm gonna get it re-done in a few months.
