What tint %?

I was wondering what tint % I should go with... 20% or 35% for my WW evo. I had 35% in front and 20% in back for my old 350z, but it felt like that fronts were too light. I've seen evos with 20%s and 35%s tints, but different angles made the tint look lighter or darker than it really was so I can't really tell.

I was wondering what % I should go with for a WW evo. I live in SoCal btw.


Thanks

Limo tint, who cares if it is against the law, that's why you have an EVO....run

I vote for 15% also. I got 20% on mine and wish it was a little darker.

Ahhh ha ha ha. I have 20%, and it is illegal here, but all I do is roll the windows down if it is overcast and I get near the five oh. On bright sun shiny days, it doesn't look too dark.

I miss the old no tint law days in this state. Sort yourself with some 5% limo on the sides and back, then get 35% platinum for the windshield. Your isht will be impenetrable. And at first glance, because of the color, your windshield won't look tinted.

That's how I used to roll back in the day.

I'm in your same situation...right now I have it tinted 5% in the back and 35% in the front. I want to have the front redone to 15% and possibly get a 6" sun strip on the windshield...

20% in back and 35% up front sounds good.

I did 5% (limo) in back and 20% up front myself! Illegal, but looks good.

Btw, I had 5% all around on another car - it was dangerous at night, I couldn't see out the sides!
