    yay another ohioan! A, join the ohio wbody cartel on facebook. 2, the state troopers are usually all you have to worry about...a few years ago i would get pulled over every few months but as of latley they have been leaving me alone. and D, go at least 20% if i were to do it all over from scratch i would do 15% in the front and 20% in the back, the light comming in from the windshield makes the front windows look a little lighter on a coupe...idk maybe im just picky

    I have 35 on my car and it is not bad, keeps the sun out good enough where it doesn't fade the interior. If you are looking for just looks and not concerned about seeing out of the car good, go lower. My old car in Florida, I can't remember what I had but your couldn't see out of it at night which made for dangerous driving

    Op, since you have a black car, I feel like darker cars dont stick out as bad as a lighter car. My last gp was black and I had 15% on it (va legal is 50%) and I never got pulled for it.

    It really depends on where you live. My last tint ticket I was sitting at a red light when he spotted me, then pulled me over as soon as I went through the intersection. Then again, my ranger is silver and i was metered at 3%

    what's wrong with 35%? dark enough to actually look like tint and light enough to actually see.

    and besides, you don't do 20% if you're going dark. you have two choices: 15% or 5%.

    well, i'm not 18 anymore. i haven't had tint on my car since i bought it in 2009. wear sunglasses and stop smoking pot while you're driving around.

    i don't have to worry about people having to break my window to figure out there isn't anything to steal anymore.

    This. I've had 5% all around for the last 4 years or so no tickets for it. Don't drive like a dick and you shouldn't have to worry about a ticket.
