What tint % for a WW Evo?

I don't want people to be able to see me, only my shadow. I was thinking about 15% or 20%. Can those with tint post pics of your car for me to see? Oh and in Ga, we don't have a tint law in effect at the moment, it might come back sometime next year.

The only problem with dark tint is driving at night. You won't see good when taking turns on local streets and parking if the street lights aren't on.

My WW goes in Thursday to get alarmed and tinted. They're tinting the front 2 windows at 20% (1 step below legal) and the back 2 and rear windows are going 5% limo tint. The shop said with all the windows up, the back windows will block enough light to make all of them look completely black. I'll take pics when I pic it up Friday morning.

4% around the back is what I did - it's the darkest I could get.

20% & 5%

I had the 20% on the front 2 windows and 5% on the rest of the car. With all the windows up...all the windows look 5%, but with rears down (for inspection) the fronts lighted up.

check out the vivid racing evo in the dyno section. it has full limo all the way around. here in az we can go 35% front doors, limo everywhere else. there are people here with double & triple limo also. sucks for them backing up at night though...

If you're choosing between 15% and 20% just get 15%. I have 15% all around and it looks perfect, anything more than that and I think you're just begging for a ticket. 15% you can get away with it easier.
