35% tint is what most states consider legal, but check with the window tinter first to make sure as to what your state law is. 35% is a reasonable tint, but not real dark. I had mine done at 35% and wish I had gone down to 30%, which still would allow adequate visibility. The main thing to consider is your local law enforcement. Are they the type that target things like window tint or are the more lax. If you're young and with a nice vehicle, unfortunately you are more of a target. Last thing you want to do is pay to get a tint and then have to pay a ticket and then have to remove it.

 

Got my 03 Screw tinted with the "blackout package" by the dealer for $125. Eliminates the PITA factor (Pain In The *ss) and gives me someone to go back to if the tint bubbles.

I've tinted my vehicles before and by the time you buy the materials, look at the time and PITA factor.... this was definitely the choice for me.

<2 cents>

 

This is 5% tint... Makes it a little tough at night, but its easy enough to roll the windows down if necessary. Limo tint is a must in Arizona if you dont want your cajones to melt to the seats...

 

I got 5% as well on my 03 DSG. It looks bad a$$. I just pay attention to when there are coppers nearby and roll down my windows if they give me a look to avoid any problems.

 

Here in San Antoino there is a local shop called Mothers. They have six or seven shops, pretty well known. Anyway, ive used them before, but never really researched their product. Their tint is called "Hyperoptik". here is the link
