Default Post Pics of your tinted widows!

Hey, I want to get tinted windows. BUT I don't want to have to deal with getting pulled over. I'm thinking 35% on sides and 5% on back.... Let's see some pics with how dark they are

I would LOVE to go with 5% all around. But I don't want to get pulled over. I had 5% on my last Camaro for a year before I sold it and didn't get pulled over once.... But that car was street legal, lol. I just don't want to make it easier for a cop to pull me over because that could lead to a lot of other tickets . BTW, I love your Camaro logo in the first pic!

I dont have any pics, but my old z had 5% for two years and I never got pulled over. Nothing wrong with 15% but 5% really does look cleaner

Best pic I could come up with the tint to try and show what 35% looks like. I have my doors at 35% and the hatch at 20%.

I would go darker on the doors, but I figure any darker and I would be pulled over. MI can only have the top 4" of the doors tinted.

I got pulled over in CA one time for loudness, I had 20% and he didnt say a thing to me. If they are like Washington DC, they have bigger things to worry about that a few tints and no front license plate. You know, armed robbers, car jackers, murderers, thiefs. Stuff like that. If its a small town...Risky. Oh and nice looken cars guys!!

How difficult is it to see out of the back with 5% tint at night, thats the only thing keeping me from tinting my windows right now. Whenever I get my tax return, I think I'm gonna go 5% on the hatch and 15% or 20% on the windows. Sweet looking cars everyone.
