5% tint on the back and 20% in the front?

Does anyone think this will look weird? I have 5% on my back windows and I was thinking of getting the front 2 done on my silver ex. I'm not sure if I should get 20% or just go ahead and get the 5% done on the fronts.

Opinions?

better check with local laws and see how dark you can go. i think 5% is too dark on the side windows for any state. i could be wrong tho. i know here it is 35% on side windows and anything on the back. as for it looking wierd, i dont like the look of different shades, that is why im getting 35% all around, but to each his own

yeah, it's definitely illegal here but who cares [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. How's the visibility with the 5% on the sides?

right now i have 35% on the front and 15% on the rear..... but if i was going to do it again i think i would do 20% front and 10% rear

35 and 15 is too big of a gap i think... its really noticable during the day..... but, if you go to dark your goin to get stoped all the time

if i were you i would do like 20% and 10% or 15 all around

I had 35% platnium all around, wasn't dark enough for me so Friday I had a layer of 35% charcoal tint put on top of that. Darkened it up to about 20%. Looks really good on my Silver Coupe.

I have 5% limo in the back and it doesn't seem to be THAT dark, only in the back windshield. I'm either gonna go 20% on the sides or 5% limo on the sides.

good luck with an inspection sticker, this weekend i got by 3 stations cuz of my tint, they're [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] about it, and it's not even that bad, even if you get it done w/in your states requirements, they can change the law at any time, when i got mine done, i wanted to be "legal" so i got front & rear (sedan) at 35%, legal limit, then the back window at 20% (no law at time for rear glass) and my windshield 7" down with 20%, well new laws in MA say 35% all around, and only down to some certain windshield regulation mark in the glass, well since i had a replacement windshield, they passed it, but it took 3 stations before they did, then once the tint was a big deal, they busted my [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] about EVERYTHING
