i have tinted windows all the way around and i wouldnt do it any other way. Ive had tickets for it before but i just pay the $20 fine and do it again. I get busted every other year, so its not that bad... i just have the windows down most of the time but when i park it i have them up, i like them tinted so nobody can look inside of the car and see if theres anything to steal.. so its kinda of a security type of thing too, as well as a appearance upgrade. I occasionally put them up on the freeway or on rainy days, but we dont get that much rainy days here in cali.

I have done 50% on the windshield before with very good results. It will get ticketed eventually but it looks pimp and doesn't really impair night driving.

I have 50% tint on my windshield and I believe the same % tint on the side windows. They were already tinted along with the hatch glass around 20% or so when I took possession of the car. I made a thread about it in the few weeks following and took day and night shot comparisons.
