you won't like 35%, i had my windows on 35 and 50, and i paid 200$ to have 20% all around, looks nice, not too dark, you can see in, but enough where you can't, know what i mean?

p.s. havent gotten one ticket for them yet

50% is way too light, you won't be happy with it. Get at least 35%.

i have 50% in the front, 40% on the passenger doors, and 30% on the rear. percentages are how much light gets through..so lightest in front middle in middle, darkest in back. click on my name to see what i mean. i like how it looks, haven't been pulled over for having tint on front either and i live in cali, so long and short, i like what i got.

5% all around your just asking for a ticket, its different in all state but anything above 20% on front is legal, the back doesn't matter, but i have 20, im breakin the law, snickers, you can see me, 5% you can see black

Check with the tint shop, they should know how much you can do legally, if that is a worry. I went VA legal, 50 in front, 35 rear. I think at least 35 all the way around would have looked better, but don't want/need no **** from the cops. Plus the shop that did it won't replace for free if it's illegal they said

thanks for the input guys.. as for jersey, any tint in the front [driver/passenger windows] is illegal. thats why i wanna go light just in case.. i guess i will be going probably 35% all around.. but if you guys can still give more info, i'd gladly appreciate it
