Show me where you found that law, because as far as I know, NO film is allowed on the side windows. I've asked multiple sources today.

That looks good. I have 35% on my sides and sometimes in the right light outside you cant see thru it standing outside looking in. Other angles and light you can see thru it.

In Ohio 50% is legal on the sides which is a joke. So I asked the shop that did it, when people get busted and they bring it back for you to replace the tint, what % tint are you taking off. They told me 99% of the time they are taking off tint 20% or darker. They said they have never replaced 35% tint. While still technically illegal, I went with 35% because my local cops can be real ****** and I didnt feel like being hassled.

It all depends on what state you are in and what your local cops are like. Some can get away with 5% and some cant.
