Default Window tint

Hi, I'm looking to get my windows tinted on my T/A and I'm wanting to get 20% on the sides and back glass. Legal limit in MO is 35% on the side and I really don't want that. So if anyone has pics that could help me see what 20% would be like I'd really appreciate if u would post some pics. Thanks

Heres 20% all the way around. Depending on how the where the sun hits it'll make the inside more visible of course as you can see from different angles . Also if you have black interior the inside will be darker. If you want to make the inside darker you can put a 8" tint on your front window but most states are 6" I think. When I get pulled over "2-3times a year" I just say I have a appointment for tomorrow to get the tint off. There still give you a ticket like always. I then make more own fake receipt saying it got taken off the next day then the case gets thrown away in court works everytime .........

No pics of a camaro I had few years ago but it had 35% sides and 20% rear and with a window strip it looked fairly dark and still legal for you. 20% isn't bad but gets more attention depending on your location. Around here my last camaro had 10% and 5% on rear and they never stopped me with it so it all depends.
And if you did 35% sides and 20% rear, you could do 50% on the windshield and it'll look alot darker as well. But if you're trying to hide stuff like an amp in the rear 20% won't hide it very well, i made that mistake.

My old camaro with 20 on the sides. I never had any trouble with cops, but my windows were down whenever they could be.

make sure you factor that the glass isn't 100% clear...

but, 20% i think is perfect.. my 5% on everything is a nightmare in the dark..

Thanks everyonei appreciate the help. I want 20 but is a $300 fine here in MO. I have 20 on my truck and it's my dd and I hadn't had a problem with it. But my t/a gets noticed a bit more. And I normally drive with the windows down on car. But I do appreciate all the help with showing me the pics of your cars. Thanks
