Default Pic request 35% tint on black T/A or Camaro

Looking to tint my windows, but 35% is the legal limit, so I'd like to see if it's worth it to go that light, so show off your tinted T/As

I know I could go darker despite the legal limit, but the car gets enough attention from the cops, (with the loud assed exhaust) and I really don't want/need any more

I've got 5% all the way around, and the legal limit in my state is ZERO tint what so ever, basically only factory tint is allowed- STUPID NEW YORK. Check out my car domain site- got some pics up, it is a pain to see out the windows on dark nights/streets, unless there is a lot of lights, then its just like driving with sunglasses on

2k2ms6ta: here is another shot if you can tell..I think this 35% percent looks awesome and the mirror in the tint shows lots reflection which makes it look darker..On a cloudy day, forget it..No one is seeing you, but its not to much mirror..you know!! Hope this helps

At least that gives me something to ask the guy about, he uses 3m so I'm sure he'll be able to get it (at least I hope so and doesn't give me the "WTF is that look" )

Here's mine... had to get it changed to 50% though, legal limit. This pic is 35%, but it looks alittle darker because the sun was glaring some.

Not here it isn't I looked it up, and it's like $200, plus removing the tint (the cop can make you do it by the side of the road if he wants to be an ***, and that's a good way to mess up your rear defroster)

It was $52 in VA for the ticket, but the cop didnt show up so they threw it out, I got it changed anyways...
Back window doesnt matter in VA either, its just the sides/front, the back can be as dark as you want.

35% is the legal limit here, and while alot of people seem to be able to get away with darker (at least in the larger towns), the small town cops around here have nothing better to do, so they try an hassle you for any little thing (and with the LTs ORY, and rumbler cat back it gets enough attention now) and I really don't need to listen to a barney fife wanna be bitch at me for my tint being too dark
