If you have a Walmart near you, they have Axius brand tint, you might take a look at the 20% quality level 7500, it has a light metallic layer instead of dye, so it doesn't look as dark, but it is still just as hard to see through.

Get a doctor's note for migraines during night driving because of light.
I've got a note and it works wonders...

Hey man, I saw your Hawk at Speed Inc. a few weeks a ago.... SWEET! If memory serves me correct, they were saying that your car was having tranny ussues? Hope they've got you straight.
Very nice ride man!!
Anyway, If you don't mind a ticket or 2... get what you want!

Get it redone. I used to have 35% all around, but took off the side tints when I also got a ticket. I've gotten used to the tint on the back only, but I'm not a big fan of the look of it. I liked it much better with tint all around. I'm going to have mine redone at the end of the summer.

I'd be happy with that percentage being legal here. All tint is illegal here which has gotten me 3 tickets (In my Firebird) since Ive owned her. Right now I'm cruising around with no tint but I cant stand how it looks with out tint so I'm going to go and have it tinted a lot lighter than I used to have it.
