well ya the rear can be limo but the front cant... i have 5% rear and like 15-20% front. you could see it in my members ride. had it for a year now, still havnt gotten caught. not sure what i would do if i kept getting caught tho. but then again ya i hate having the rears tinted and not the front... i'd say f it and keep it tinted, trying my best not to get caught.. i usually roll them down if i see a cop... sometimes i dont see them and they see it, they dont really care. but since your cops do, maybe get a radar detector...

This is 35% It's dark enough for me. I don't think you can get too many complaints about it. It matches the sunroof tint. And SUVs come darker than 35% from the factory, so I doubt a cop will complain.

Why get any tint at all? I think it will only look good on darker cars like black, green, and blue. My silver sedan looks much better without tint.
But if you have a darker car, I would go 20% for good looks, but 35% to be legal.

Depending on what color car you have can make a difference. On a light car tints will look darker than the same tint on a dark car. I have 20% on my silver coupe and it looks really dark... but I had 20% on my black altima and it looked pretty light. Basically, if you want to be careful I guess just go with the 35% on a light car and you could probably get away with like 20% on a dark car.

SInce my car is NBP, i decided to go 32% front windows and 6% rear and sides. i was afraid of cops haggling me so thats what i chose. You can still see in the front windows but not bad.
I don't remember what % my tint is, I think its 35%. Its Llumar Platinum Plus tint and I have a silver civic. I love it, and people who saw it afterwards thought it looked much better with it. The Platinum plus is a metallic tint or whatever you call it, so it looks a little reflective, really nice on silver cars, IMO.
Hmmm.....mirror tints on eternal blue pearl. I had given it the thought....not the dark kind, but the barely reflective kind...like barely frosty sorta. It wouldn't be too bad, but i went w/ limo on the rear and small triangle windows, and 20%on the 2 doors. It looks good because of the blue color. I'd say, if you're not picky like me, try the mirror tint...but just the minimally reflective kind.

I have graphite 32% on teh front sides and graphite 21% on teh rear sides and back windshield. Never been bugged by a cop yet for it, and its jsut dark enough that you have to make an effort to look into the car. form inside you can barely tell its tinted until you open a door and realize that the suns blaring down on you. at night with the setup i have you can not see anything inside except for my dash lights.
