Default 20% versus 35% tint

Anyone have pics of either 20% or 35% tint on their windows? I cant decide which shade to go with.

it's hard to tell with pics online. It depends on the lighting, shadows, angles, etc.

35% you can see through. 20% you can't really see any details

I recently got 35% and I can barely tell it's there (from inside), I can see just as well through it, even at night. I wish I could have gone something like 25%, it would look nicer from outside.. but it's illegal here.



I don't think pics would help very much, I'd try to find someone in your area that can show you in person.

I had 20%. If you think you will get pulled over for it, chances are you will and will have wasted your $.

20%! Just depends on the local area. I've driven mine all over the country with it on there and no fuss. Went down to TX and back without an issue.

the applicable tint law is where your car is registered not where your at. example i live in georgia (and car is registered in georgia) and my tint is legal per georgia law. if I drive to florida and get a ticket for window tint per florida law the judge will have to throw it out because it conforms to the law where my car is registered.



this is my car with 20% tint. its not very dark, easy to see through at night but it is difficult to see the inside from the outside. here in georgia 20 percent is now illegal. 32% is now the legal limit . when i tinted my car the old law had expired and there were no tint laws in georgia (about 2003 or 2004) then about 2 years later they passed a new tint law.













the side windows are not tinted just the back 3.

I also live in the North Ga area and went with 20% tint. I really think it is a good choice. It isn't too dark but at the same time it looks good and does keep the car cooler.



I have only had one occasion where I was pulled over for my window tint and I got off with a warning. I have had other friends with the same tint get a ticket in that area before though so it may just be that the officers in that area are a little stricter than most areas. Their ticket was only around $70-80 so it isn't too big of a deal but an annoying fine none-the-less.

20 in the back, 30 on the sides. The 30 is darker then legal here, but the guy at the shop said since my interior is so light, they'll never know. Let's hope he's right, because I love the look of it!
