I'm taking my car in Thursday to get window tint (4 doors+Back Windshield) and I'm thinking what should I get. I am strongly feeling 35% all around because it doesn't attract too much attention,I live in Pennsylvania which has the STUPIDEST LAWS, and my car is Black so 35% should appear darker. Thoughts?

Got mine tinted awhile back, 35% up front, 25% rear, turned out to be very nice since I have tan interior despite the jet black exterior

I had 15% on my 2006 acura tl I traded two years ago. now, I have 20% all the way around. I think it depends on your state law. in WA, I dont think the police care as much plus it looks perfect on the E60.

15% all around is the way to go, looks beautiful at night, and nobody can see u, but its hard to park at night.
