yea, i'm debating on how dark to go...5% on the rear for sure, but i dunno about the sides...this car is a DD, and one of my friends gets pulled over a lot for tints and her's are 20%...35% doesn't seem that much darker than stock clear though...

Just got my first tint ticket last week actually. Have had the tint for almost two years, all of which time I had TDs dumped so it wasn't as though I was being subtle.

Love the all black look...
My black Z28 has 20 on the sides and 5% on the hatch and Ttops...

Perfect in my opinion.
