If you do 35% all around including the front window light isn't let in much so it looks a lot darker then you would think and pretty nice.

However just do 20% I don't know if I would do 20% on front window thought.

You do know tints below 70% are illegal right? If your going to do it why not go all the way?

Google it but I remember looking at a chart of each state and most were in the 70%.

35% isn't that dark thats why I said if you go all around including front it would look pretty nice because no light is let in.

I have 20% all around except for my front window (I was pusseh).

70 is like factory... you wouldnt notice it their at all, it would be like a light-smokey effect. remember, the higher the % the more light is let through, threfore the lighter the tint. 5% is limo tint and nothing gets through, 20% is nice.

In any state you can have the back windows tinted, thats why some stock cars come like that. States differ for front windows. Cops won't usually pull you over though for tints unless you have been speeding etc. It's kind of like a secondary violation. Thats why if you get pulled over, roll em down.
