120 canadian ( 80 US )... I got 20%. Can still see out most of the day. Can't really see in unless there is light inside the car. 35% is as low as you should go and 5% is very dark. (I've seen it and it gets scary backing up).

I have never really seen metallic tint look good so I would stay away. I have seen blue tint (not blue metallic) on blue cars and if the color matches it looks alright. But you can never go wrong with the normal tint.

I payed 200 for 20% in rear and 45% in front. Sounds like it wouldn't blend, but it does. It's pretty nice.

Get True Grey tint. it doesn't fade to purple like most tints to. it also has a slight metallic tint to it (pun not intended)

you can kinda see on 'my ride'

if you ever plan on getting a security system get a tint WITHOUT any metal in it, I guess it messes up motion sensors somehow - makes them not work so well. and be sure you get a lifetime warrenty!

Pay the fine

Unless you got some medical condition where you need the tint to block sun from your skin or something. With documentation you should be able to be exempted.

I wanna pay my doctor to get that BUt im thinking about 15% all around.

also the question about pulled for being too tinted....a cop RARELY pulls you over for that, its almost like never...but when you do get pulled roll down the windows and be as nice as you can be and hopefully you wont get fined for the tint.
