I bought my '04 with 15% throughout and recently changed the front two to 50%...not my real choice but every local cop in NY seems to be drawn to tinted windows like ants to sugar. I have a black interior so it does appear darker than what a light interior would probably look. I appears to blend well with the dark rear windows and almost look like factoryish tint to the pesty new cops...this is my desire as I do not want to get pulled over every week this summer...would hate for my tint to cost $1000.00 at $125.00 per ticket. NY laws suck

I have 15% black on black
I've had between 5-15% on my vehicles for 12+ years now and never had a problem with cops here in Colorado. I do roll down all windows when I get pulled over just because I know cops hate walking up to a car at night and not be able to see inside it. Maybe giving them the courtesy helps ease the tension they may have. I also have a CCW (concealed weapons permit) and that usually distracts them and window tint is never brought up )

just had mine tinted 15% all around saturday. iv got the black interior, i think its a perfect shade. people can make out your outline inside the car, but hey cant tell who you are. also makes it much easier on your eyes when suns out., and the black leather doesnt get near as hot.

well i got 25% and it doesnt really look tinted when the sun hits it. looked good int he shop when the sun wasnt blaring on it. kinda dissappointed but i dont see how 20 and 25 could be that much different but it definetly is. my brother has 20 on his cobra and it is black. mine u can see right through. well ill leave it for a while and save up for darker in a bit. kinda suxcks since the wheels are gettin powdercoated black next week so the contrast is gonna suck. dont know what to do. ill post pics later.

I really need to retint my windows. I don't like people being able to see me and I absolutely HATE when the front windows don't match the rear.

i work at the sheriffs office so im gonna get a buddy to use a tint meter to make sure the bastard didnt put 35 on the car instead of 25, i am alomost 100 perce3nt sure he did and i have it in writing that he did 25. i will keep everyone updated. the 35% on the black one above is 10 times darker then the supposed 25 on mine
