I already have 20% on sides but I have none on front and back window and im getting it tinted by friday and I was getting 40% front and 35% on back but I changed my mind and was thinking 20% front and back but ppl keep telling me its too dark but I just want my privacy.
What do you guys think?

Too dark! You crazy? You'll be backing into things and won't be a safe driver. I wouldn't want you driving near me on the road. Sorry

I just did 35% all around on mine. It's fine for backing up at night.

mine is 35% on all sides except the front, cant remember what the windscreen is..... anyways... it is a good tint. It stops the sun in summer, provides some privacy and gives it a meaner look, hehe.

I have 20% on the fronts and 5% on the back. The only time its at all hard to see is backing out in dark parking lots. During the day I can see fine, and at night I can see headlights behind me just fine.
To the person who says it is unsafe - Sorry I got tired of closing my eyes while driving every time a truck with a 48 inch lift and 14 million candle power headlights gets behind me :D. But I feel much safer now that I can drive with my eyes open.

I have 5% (limo tint) in the back and rear and i never had any problem backing up or anything, and it's way easier on the eyes when followed by some jerk on high beams.

Same goes when ppl are on the back with HID lights its annoying it just blinds me.
And thanks for everything guys, I will go with 20% :clap::thumbup:

Good choice I love the 15% in the rear of mine. I hate using the little tab on the bottom of rear view mirrors

Tinted windows could be cop magnets.But I guess that would be determined by where you live.

I've got 15% on the three back windows and never have any problems at night. I should have gone to 5%.

I have 20% all around. I noticed a less burning sensation on my left arm LOL! I would love to have 5% but that would be pushing it with the LAW.

I did the darkest legal tint in FL, which is 30% in the front and 15% in the rear. I have a 3DR LB so the 1/4 windows and door windows are 30% and the rest including rear windshield is 15%. No tints on the front windshield. Was considering the Bar, but, it would look weird.

I went with 35%, did it myself. NO tint on back window. This way following cops don't see I have tint when they are behind me.
I had %5 once on my Prelude and almost sideswiped someone at night.
Too dark= DANGEROUS!

I had 2.5% all the way around on my truck and loved it. Till inspection time came. 30% and down is illegal here. :thumbdown:

its only a fix it ticket if they site you just part of the game if you like dark windows they are a must for me at night most cars blind you from behind no matter what i even turn my mirrors down so you have to tilt your head down a little to look out so the light does not beam right into your face and eyes while just driving down the road then you have assholes that like to drive to outside of you path of travel so there head light shines right into your driver side mirror . THE DARKER THE BETTER !!!
