Default window tint

alright...for my birthday my parents said they would pay to have my windows tinted. what % would be the best bet?
keep in mind i live on an air force base, so the rules will most likely be fairly strictly enforced.

Find out what the max allowed on base is. I wouldn't push the limits there...but if you can, try 15%

Nope, I believe 15% is one of the most popular because it's dark but (depending on where you are) it's not "too dark".

I'd go 20% on the front windows and darker in the back.

My back is 5% and it gets really hard to see. My front window's aren't tinted anymore....Michigan is gay.
