35% is legal in my state but I did 20% which is the second darkest you can go. You may catch heck if ever pulled over for anything over 20%. 5% is considered limo tint and is the darkest. Sorry, I don't have any pics here at work.

Tinted windows on a red vette always looks sweet. Just try and look up the legal tint limit for where you live and go below it because being pulled over is never fun. A buddy of mine actually had his car tinted over the limit and the cop told him to either take it off right then or he would give him a ticket so he took it off. Basically threw away 150 bucks for the tint job so its better to find out whats the limit.

I have 15% all the way around right now, I really want to rip it off and put 5% on.
My last car I had 2 layers of 5%, I LOVED it but was a bi**h to backup and/or switch lanes with the windows up.

I have 20% all around on mine. My neighbor is a cop and told me not to worry about being pulled over for tint in a vette, they only use it to pull over "hoopties" lol. But that is my area, some northern states are very strict on tint. I'm very happy with the 20%.
Pics aren't going to tell you much. I have pics of the 35% that was on my mazda and at some angles they look like 5% in pics. But here you go anyway

I had 5% on the rear - looked awesome from the outside - then after I nearly piled the car up in reverse not being able to see at night behind me one evening, I ripped it off and replaced with 25% rear and 35% sides. Does not look quite as sexy from the outside, but at least I may not lose the car to a stupid accident!

Why not check with your state Highway Patrol on what is legal (your city LEOs should also know).
