how dark as far as tint
have a question and i need opinions, i can go as dark as i want on my tint and im trying to find some opinions on how dark, should i just do 3% on sides and the back? (not doing t-tops because i still have the trusty inserts) or should i do 3% and maybe something like 8% on the sides. im in a pickle and im setup to get it done tomorrow, it gets old riding in a bubble you know lol. well heres some pics of the car and yes it will be lowered in the near future
hope to hear from you guys soon

I've got 15 on the sides, and not sure what is on the back, its dark as **** though. 5 or less. Small strip on the wind shield, like 3 inches, and my ttops have stock tint no shades. Black interior also helps.
Now during the day through the sides you barely see the outline of a person if in direct sun. Now if in the shade or parked under a tree, really gonna have trouble seeing in my car.
At night time, same thing. You could probably barely see the faint glow of the cherry of a cigarette. Now if its been raining or there is any water on the windows, forget about seeing ANYTHING, even in broad daylight.
Kind of hard to backup at night, and I find myself rolling down the windows to help see at night.
Go with 15 and tell them to tint the hell out of the back.
Also, just got a warning citation for my tint a couple weeks ago. Not a fix it ticket, but a "hey your tints illegal" kind of written warning.

I have 20 on the sides and rear, and IMO I wanted to go darker.. But for the fact the my car stands out enough and cops like to follow me around I didnt wanna give them another reason to pull me over.. Although I would wanna go 5 sometime.. Atleast on the back..

in my old town where im from i got yanked over for everything, but it was because my car was alot more than this one lol. i know what you mean with the getting pulled over for every little thing. i hope baton rouge police depts. have more to do with their time than mess with some cat with really dark tint, with all the murders, drug **** and kids in the "college scene" i think theyre not to worried about window tint

I can see the other side window, I can see the upper and cloth panels of the door on the opposite side, the seat and seatbelt on the drivers side. Hell I can even pick out bits of the passenger side seat.
You must be delusional!
