I'm planning on tinting my windows soon. I'm going to go as dark as possible in the back and am not sure what would be good for the front. I don't want to go so dark that I have to worry about the cops every time I see them. I live in california and law says you have to have 70% coming in the front. Would 50% make a noticebale differnece and not attract too much attention from the cops? If 50% isn't really notceable what would look good but not draw too much attention. Sorry if this was already answered, but their are too many tint posts and I don't feel like looking through all of them.

 

cant help you there, mine is texas legal, at least it was in '03 i have 5% in the back and 25% up front

 

why is it so light(70%) in the front in california?

 

thats what i was kinda wondering, thats basically factory isnt it

 

Pretty much. It's not like I live in compton or anything. I think the laws should vary city to city.

 

you want 5% limo rear then and like 35% sides you shouldnt have any probles 35% is kinda light but its still there. i like more 5% rear and 20% sides if you want a contrast...

i went 5% all around... acully i am gonna get all my tint redone this winter

 

Thanks. Thats what I was looking for.

 

i agree with zach...thats my eventual plan...it gives a good contrast so the fronts look lighter than the back to a point where they will probably/hopefully not harass you about it...

 

ya mine is gonna be 5% rear 20% doors and 20% banner...

 

thats 20% on the sides I like it and ive never had any trouble with the cops.

 

tint the back as dark as you can then legal on the fronts

its a cop thing and i dont blaim them there is a lot of sick tickets out there so they wont to see whats going on

 

That looks good, but where I live that would probably get me caught.

 

yep
