I personally have 15% all around+ t-tops, doing the tops is a must as it makes any tint look much darker. If you 're going illegal, you might as well go all the way though

Well, unfortunately, yes... it happened to me on the driver's side window.. But, since it's all under warranty, it was promptly taken care of by the Tint Shop and hasn't happened since!.. That is why, get it done from a well established place that offers lifetime warranty on it's tint job!!..

Get the darkest tint you can find and just roll your windows down around cops. When I bought my car, it had 6% (20% on top of 35%) on both side windows. I had to pull it off recently to get a ticket dismissed. It was peeling / missing in a bunch of places anyway. I am about to get it retinted 5% all the way around for $159. I may also install a kill switch for the windows, just in case.

Here's what it looked like:

I think I'm gonna go with 5%, I have manual windows, so I'll be riding with my windows down alot, because of cops. Thanks for all the feedback... When I get it done, I'll be sure to post up some picks.
