Recommended tint percentage

Here in California tint on the front driver/passenger windows are illegal, but you could have the back windows as dark as possible. I was thinking to put 35 on the fronts and 20 on the 3 windows on the back and on the front windshield strip. Anyone with 20 all around and have trouble with cops or seeing at night.

i have 35's on the front sides and 5 on the rest of the three (and 5 on the front windshield banner). no problems with cops (ive had bike cops come up beside me, stare at my car a a few seconds, give a smirk then ride off). like supermanrider said, there are some problems seeing out the back when its dark. i have to roll down my windows when i back up at night.

I have 5% on the back three and 50% on the sides I never get pulled over or bothered in any way cause of it. I was playing with the idea of going with the windshield tint too but not sure yet.

I have my back windows tinted to the legal limit, and the front untinted. I don't think it looks bad I know some people have had some trouble with it, I'd just rather not deal with the cops, they have enough they can pull me over on already, I don't need a ticket for tint too :-/

Well I drove down to LA for 2 weeks recently with 6% limo all around with a window strip too with no issues. But I was of course watching for cops. But I have been pulled over in the past 4 times with not one mention of window tint and the law here is like 32% max on all windows. My buddies have had 6%, 13% and 20% down there on all windows without issues so.... it all depends on the cop..

I get pulled over more for front plates in the last 2 years so I just leave the damn thing on now.

I got a ticket for window tint, my tint is 35%. Where can I find this 32% tint law? Do you have any links?

^^ are you in california?? If so then you can go no more than super weak like I think its 90% or some thing and its only on the side windows....i.e. front door windows. But if you have it on the back you can go as dark as you wish.

Well the tint law I believe is like 70% on the front doors in CA but here in Oregon its 32%. My buddy lives outside of LA and has 6% around limo and has never had a issue... Odd and never gets bothered by cops for no front plates either Yeah sucks when I was in CA they can nail out of state vehicles for window tint.
