Window tint (dark in the back light up front) Alright here is the car now and I would really like to tint the windows.
I was thinking of going like 10% or 5% on the back window. I have 5% on my truck in the back now and really like it. But what I was wondering is how will it look if I put like 35% on the side windows because Ohio says it needs to be at least 50% on the side. Also how hard is it to do your own tint on the side windows. I don't want to do the back I'll leave that to a professional.

this'll give you an idea of 35%.
Doing the side windows for a first timer really wasn't too bad for me alone, but when I had someone help me (two different people on different occasions) they messed it up, so for the average person it may not be so easy. I'd still have it done though to get the lifetime warranty.

IMO I would go ahead and leave it all the professional. If they offer a warranty let them do it so if it ever messes up it's on them. Here is my old car with 5% on back and 20% on sides. 5/20 is my fav combo.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm moving to KS in 2 months where the lowest you can go is 35 all around. I'm thinking 20 on the back and maybe 25-30 on the sides to try and avoid the cops. Would like to see more pics of 35 though.
