just got tint today

NH law says no tint on the front and 35% in the rear, so I got 35% in the rear and 50% on the front. I wanted darker than stock but not so much that it'd draw unwanted attention.

Backs look good, 50% is a little on the light side but it's still noticeable. Highly recommend car-risma in Lowell Mass. They did a good job and have a good warranty/guarantee (just in case).

for the guy who wanted to know wat color tint to get on his black max. Id suggest something in the Low 20's or a 13. The place i go has a 13 and then 6. Of course 6 would be tight, but that might be Too difficult to see outside at night. So the 13 would be better, but it depends on the place u go to and wat number tints they got.

So get a Low 20's or a Something in the Teen's 10-20 or something along those lines. That may seem kinda dark, but its what looks best with a black car. And i dont recommend getting diff tints in front and back because the contrast really looks weird.

I've seen different shades for the front and back that looked good on a black car...but never found out what % it is.

I live in Illinois and the law says no tint for the front windows...and a lot of people that have dark tint all around have commented that they got tickets for it, but some with lighter tint up front said they are usually left alone. So that is why I wanted the 2 different shades...

Thanks for the recommendations.
