    I've got 35% all around on mine. The color of car also plays into how dark it looks from the outside. I have never been hassled for tint at all.

      my z had 20 all around... was only pulled over 3 times in the almost 3 years i had the car (1 ticket). i believe its 50% for being legal on the front side windows, atleast thats what the cop told me... depends on how dark you want it, 30 would probably be pretty nice all around.

        i would not go 5% on the back. My GTO was 5% all around, and it was a fucker to drive at night. No mirrors at all, i had to plan my backup route before i got into the car. go 50% or 35% on the sides and 20% or 10% on the back. 5% is overkill and i think 20% is the best bet.

          Thats true I have been pulled over and asked about my tint a couple of times, ummm there is no tint on my car. Boy did those officers turn red.

                I have NEVER been pulled over for window tint. :icon_cheers:
                I have 50% on the sides, 5% on the rear quarter windows, and 20% on the rear window.
                I like seeing out of my windows at night. 😄

                  ^What he said.

                  20% is nice. 5% is to dark, my new car has something like that, its not good.

                          I had 20% all the way around on one of my old hatches, and that sometimes was hard to see out of at night, but i only got in trouble for it once and that was when i got pulled over for speeding and forgot to roll the window all the way down.
