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.

well she needs something, and 15% still looks dark from far, i doubt that im gonna get hassled much down here, i see people blacked out all the time with windshield done too. anyone have some pictures of 15% up close, possibly showing how much you can see through it?

All I know is I have 5% on my truck and unless Im driving down the main road with all kinds of lights outside, I cant see the ground if I look out the window. I dont see how people drive at night with 5% with the windows up.

It was a little cloudy when this picture was taken:
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..

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!
