lol damn, kinda glad I never tinted my windows lol I know in Germany you cant pass inspection with ANY window tint. its funny guys would take the tint off the day before inspection, get it inspected and then reapply new tint the same day lol seemed like a waste of time lol
im thinking of going fot a touch of tint. I like to see and I don't care if people can see me. im thinking of 35 on the rear and 40ish on the sides. im getting t top shades so don't really car about tinting them. ive thought of doing the dashpad thing but I just have sun shades for now and they do ok. definitely not tinting the windshield though.

the funny thing is that its only one cop that is really picky about this stuff. I had been pulled over over 5 times in my z28 for window tint, front license plate, rear license plate light, a small crack in the windshield, etc... and always received verbal warnings. Cool cops who showed respect. And the same officer who gave me the window tint fix it in the ws6, has also gotten me for no front license plate and blocking a sidewalk (our house driveway, in a dead end cul-de-sac) all in a 5 month time period.

But yeah, some people get away with stuff and others dont.

Lol ya its pretty much depends on the cop your right.
One of my buddies was driving his new m3 home from work on the interstate going 110, and got pulled over. The cop liked his car and said he pulled him over for no plates and he was going a little fast.. then proceeded to give him a warning..

I'm going to go with 25 all around. No point going any less than that once I send the car back to Texas.

It helped a little with the whole sun thing

Why are you comparing a truck that you look up to vs a car that you look down at. Cars always look darker.

Bought mine with 5% all around. Couldn't see at night or my mirrors to back up.
removed the tint on sides and went with 25% quality ting. Left 5% on hatch. Perfect.
I use my mirrors to back up.

Virginia is 50 on the sides and 35 in the back. And if there was ever a police state, it's the lovely Commonwealth of Virginia.
