Nope. Extra weight.

Started 35% all the way around.

Then 35% with 5% layered on top.

Loved the look of the 5% on the 35% but was not safe to drive. Couldn't see people walking in the parking lot at night and during the day I couldn't tell what someone driving behind me unless their headlights on.

Now it has been redone with 20% and is not dark and looks good.

Have not seen a thread like this, my car should be here in about 1-2 weeks. Trying to decide how dark I should go, I was thinking 20% on the sides and 10% on the back. Have not tinted a car before, I think 45% is legal hear, but my friends say that is barely noticeable. So at what % is start where you barely see in side, but still kind of can?

15% on the sides, 5% on the back.

I did 20% on the front windows and 10% on the back. Not legal in CA to have any on the front ones but like another member on here I have the windows down a lot to hear the awesome sound this car makes.

+1 for 3M Crystalline. I went with 50% on windows and back. Nothing on the front. I'll try to post a pic soon.

Got 20 percent on the back 3 windows. Looks great but really hard to see out the back window at night. Good thing for that backup cam

Yep, I love it, although it's nerve wracking driving it. Already been pulled over and ticketed for it. Just paid the fine and kept the tint. I'm more careful now to drive with the windows down. LOL

I did the same. It was going to be more expensive to remove tint and install legal ones than it was to just pay the fine. Happened on vacation too :doh:. I didn't know I was in an infamous Tint Nazi city(Irvine, CA?)

I think it's that way all over CA. What is so screwed up about being ticketed for illegal tint is it's obviously not about the legalities of said tint; it's about how much you're willing to pay to keep it on your car, else they'd insist you remove it. :rant:

I had no idea you could just pay a fine anymore. I thought that fix it tickets now required what ever needed fixing be fixed and signed off that it had been done. How much was the fine?

That's what the cop told me when he gave me the ticket but when I got my notice in the mail there was the option to just pay the fine and take no further action. Mine was about $170, IIRC.
