i wouldnt do too dark..its hard to see out at night. Especially if it is raining.
Also, i would do the same % all the way around.

I am debating about tinting too but it doesn't look good that is why I keep it without it. I have turbo timer and remote start to cool the interior anyway

35% all around seems to be a pretty popular choice for graphite gray. But keep in mind that here in Cali, it's illegal. I was actually considering doing the same thing, but since I'm still not running a front plate, I'd rather just have one thing to potentially get a fix-it ticket for instead of two. Let us know what you decide to do.

20% all around. When I see other GG evos without tint, it looks so plain.

35% (which I have too) is light enough not to give the cops too much heartburn. They'll usually let you skate with a warning....unless you're being a dick

I think its funny how other states have cops that actually pull people over to tint. Cops pulling people over JUST FOR tint is non-existant in Indiana and Kentucky. They will only comment and question it if they already pulled you over and your dumb enough not to have your window already rolled down by the time they get to your car.

^ Well, sometimes cops will ask you to roll up your windows anyway just so they can check, especially if your rear windows are already tinted.

Every car I've owned before my Evo's were 2 door and were all had tint that was against the law. They just don't seem to care where I'm from and live.
