looks good man. but i warn you, it really catches the cops eyes! i've got 5% on the front and 0% wrapped around the rest and they don't like it. oh well just roll with the windows down and you should be good to go.

Rep Power: 260 yah cool till you get a ticket, and even if you have them down they can still make you put them up to test. good luck, just keep a space $150-$300 for tickets. believe me, i know. not worth it but if it floats your boat..

Rep Power: 0 Man you just made your car a cop magnet cuz of those 5% on the front windows. I have 5% at my rear and 50% on front.
And for that guy who doesn't know those lines at the back window....Man those are your rear defroster and all cars have it.

Rep Power: 0 now what is the point of 5% all around? First it's a cop magnet. Second, you can't see at night. And if it rains and fogs, well good luck seeing out.

Rep Power: 0 I don't know why but I think if you have a dark color car, the window should be lighter than the car and vice versa. A white car or silver with 5% tint is hot IMO.

hmm i know what your saying, but in my case im giving my car like a sleeper look , blacked out everything.
and to everyone who says i cant see out , i made sure he used tint that i could still see out perfectly , it cost more but is worth it. oh and i keep my windows down mostly so i wont worry too much about cops , and drive safe. i just hate it when people always look in my car.

Rep Power: 261 Looks good...I would have done 20% on the driver and passenger but thats me. Cops here don't really care about tint much...but out law is 35% on passenger and driver and whatever you want on the back.
for smoked lights though not tint

Rep Power: 340 Like everyone said, the cops will most likely be chatting with you soon and often, but DAMMIT that looks good.
When I finally get my black E39 M5, it's getting blacked out just like that.

yups thats nice... i once had that same dark tint on mine til i found out the hard way that it was illegal here in hawaii... guess how much a citation for one of those are? give up yet? down here it'll cost you $287 and thats per window depending how an a-hole the cop wants to be. true story yo. i dont know if thats the worse but any amount is BS.

Rep Power: 227 im tinting in the next week or so. what do you guys think. will 20% all the way around look good? my car is black so i think it will flow and shouldnt have me getting hassled by cops or give me trouble seeing out of it.

honestly .. on a black car , 20 percent is not going to look much lighter than mine.. it will look fantastic , but your still facing the chance of being hassled.. just be like me when the radar goes off the windows come down , when i see a cop driving , windows go down its that easy.
