Tint
Don't even bother with anything less than 20% as you can see in the comparison. I have 15% on the fronts of my truck, factory 18% on rear sides and a 15% layer over the factory tinted rear glass. The Porsche has 35% all around and is just not really all that worthy. IMO
the law here in NC is 35% but slide the inpection guy some $ and they pass....

as far as police it depends on where you live.some cops dont even front about it and some will ticket for everything in the book.i myself in southeast louisiana have gotten hit by the police once(so far)and i have had the truck for 3 years and every vehicle before that had limo tint too.the tint is 5 percent but the meter the police use said 3 percent.i think after awhile you get used to it.at first its hard.now make sure you have a source to get a inspection sticker so you wont have to strip it every year.
I've got 5% all around and im not gonna lie, it makes driving at night ridiculous unless you keep the front windows down. I don't regret it though, I love it, and 5% on the front clear windows isn't even THAT dark, it could be a whole lot darker and still okay. The back ones with the already 16% stock with 5% tint on top is pretty damn dark.
8% all around and 5% over the 8% on the rear window.Also,5% sun strip.

MA. allows 35% all the way around except the windshield... 6 in. for that.... they don't hassle you for rear sides and back... but some go out of their way for the front sides.....

Remember to check state laws regarding tint. Having "too dark" of a tint is probably cause for being pulled over. I think the legal limit here in GA is 32% (law passed in 06). After testing to see if your tint is too dark, some cops will run their key over your tint so it scracthes and tell you to get it fixed with a lighter tint (asshats)
I just got mine tinted today. I have a question though:
My guy told me i cant roll the windows down for a whole week. My friends who have tint said they had to wait like 3 days.
How long did you all wait until you started rolling the windows down???
