If you are in IL I would only do like 30% tint, the lightest one you can get. I have that on my Z06. 5% is like limo and that would be pointless in IL.

that's what I have, it took me 2 weeks to get pulled over. I'm going to test it and see how long it takes for the 2nd time.. and the 3rd.. and the 4th..
