As I stated earlier...I have 30% on the sides now...and I am going to get 50% on the front windshield. If I want I can always go darker to 15% on the sides.

Idk... one of my friends has an E90 M3 and he has 50% windshield, 15% all around...he says it's fine at night...and he is thinking of doing 5% on the sides and rear.

I don't know why people go so dark. I love when the bitches can see the stud that's driving the beast.

Well I doubt I am gonna go 50%, 15%....I am probably gonna go 50% front, 30% side, 15% rear...


Getting 5% is just stupid and makes the car look cheap... what do you have on your car C?

There is no way you had 5% on your car?!?!? I guess 5% isn't stupid...cause your car looks hawt

It looks like 15%?

EDIT: What brand tint do you have? There is 5% tint that is really reflective...and there is 5% tint that is just matte dark.

I always thought it was illegal to tint the front windshield...at least in California it is illegal to tint just the front side windows.
