Default 25% Tint
Post your pics if you have 25% tint!

In texas the legal limit is 25%. I dont want to have any troubles with the cops, they already give me enough as it is with having no front license plate. Anyways i wanna see what 25% looks like before i have it done, iv had a hell of a time finding pics with 25%.

Thanks

I was going to get legal, but having black leather told me not to so I ended up doing 15% all the way around, If you want it to look darker though do 5% on the back and 25% on the front

15%all the way around

I think 15-20% would look amazing, but IMO 35% is not dark enough. I'd really like to see a day shot of 25% on the sides

How difficult is it to see out of the rear window with 5% at night? Is it darker than the rear view mirror dimmer setting?

I have 10 on the sides at 5 on the back, and now I never have to use the dimmer switch on the rear view. The view out the back glass looks like the rear view is always in the dim setting. Drive around with it flipped for a while and see what you think.

You should be ok with 15%... Legal here is 28% but its not worth tinting your windows cause its very light. I have mine at 15% and during the day you can see right through them
