Default All of you with 35% tint!

Does anyone have a pic of their F-bod with 35% tint on the windows (TX maximum legal limit) I want to see what it looks like as I am contemplating it.

I also have 35%. Better than stock to say the least. We have **** cops in my area so I decided to give them one less reason to do a double-take on my Camaro.

OF course there's a limit...

I'm running 5% and have been pulled over twice with it on and they didn't even mention it.

it's the desert... i'm running the darkest tint possible.

Check the links in my profile for pics of my car. 35% sides and 5% on the rear hatch. Tint looks darker in pics than it does in person for some reason.

I still think tint was the best "mod" I ever did.

I did 35% on the sides 20% on back. 50% is legal on the sides in Ohio and it is a joke. Not much better than factory. Local cops can be real ****** since I live in a small community and they have nothing better to do. I asked the company who did the tint; when people get busted and bring it back to have it retinted what are you removing. They told me always 20% or darker so I went with 35% cause it was the next one lighter than 20%. Still illegal but I'll take my chances with it.

I had 35%, but I had to remove it. I'm going with 20% next time.

This is 20% rear and 35% sides:

Up here in my province you are only allowed to tint the windows behind the driver.
Its so annoying I wanna tint by sides so bad. But on the other hand I really want to get into the RCMP, so I must stay a law abiding citizen.

True that in AZ. The Cop across my street has 5% on all his cars. Lol. They really don't say **** here, it's just too damn hot not to have dark tint.

50 is the legal limit here. I have always run 35 with no issues. You can barely tell a car has tinted windows with 50 - it is easy to see that a car's windows are tinited with 35.
