Mine is 20% all around. 70% is legal limit in Cali (lol why bother if that??)

It ends up being a strip.

I personally think a really dark strip looks ricey, so I didn't get mine tinted.

I first got the idea for my personal car here in Phoenix when all the NASCAR drivers were blacking out the tops of the windshields 20 years ago.. My good friend, a AZ DPS officer said that if they find complete tinted front windshields, they red tag the car and call the tow truck. So I stay away and just do a strip across the front, larger than factory but here in the deset it makes a huge difference..

15% 3M film all around. Picked up the car Thursday and made an appointment Saturday to get the tint done. Everyone of my cars did and will always have tint!

Are these shots sunrise or sunset? My guess is sunrise because it just looks cold.

Window Tint Back Window

I love the look of any window tint but from past experience it makes it much harder for me to see out of at night and distorts / blurs rear view mirror vision, especially at night. Anyone notice this or is it just my old eyes?

1. Should I do 35 all around or go darker?
2. What should I look for after it is done to make sure there are no issues?
3. Are there any brands or qualities of tints I should avoid?

Thanks for the help.

I've got 20% all around on my car and love it. Not too dark that you can see out at night and still looks great from the outside during the day. 35 is too light, you almost can't tell they're tinted.
