I am torn between getting 35% in the front, per Texas law, and 20% on the back and rear or just getting either 35% or 20% all around?

Opinions?

Wut I did for my Max was dark tint for the rear window and for the sides I used a lighter shade, this way you take out some glare at night, also it phase darker toward the front.
I like it, and you wont have a problem with the "occifers"

Get the same shade all around.

I would get 35% all around.
I don't think it looks good at all when there is a discrepency.

I got dark rears and lighter fronts too keep the "occifers" off my back too. The different shades makes the front tint not noticeable.

I have 50% front, 35% everywhere else. I too, was concerned about the law. I'm still illegal per NY law, but the front is a little lighter although not that much. If I could do it again, I'd think I'd do 35% all around, or maybe 20% on the back window. I have the Frost interior and that also has an effect on the perception of the tint from the outside. If you have a dark interior, the tint will look darker.

now, back to tint..
i like having same shades all around, but in california, that's not legal.
it used to be a fix-ticket....but now, the "occifers" will give you a ticket worth $76 and a point on your driver's record. now that's some horse-sshiit!!

ok.....for my tint...the back is about 25% and the front tint is lighter than the rear....i almost got pulled over for my tint already....i just got a ticket for the rear clear markers....THANK GOD~~~~!!

-peace

I have 35% on the front windows and 5% (limo) Everywhere else. I think it looks fine and the dark tint in back makes the front appear darker.

I went with......

.. the rear window at 20% for when people are driving behind me with their high beams on, the light does not distract you at all and 35% all around the sides so you can see just the outline of the person in the car.

Texas law states:

35% ALL SIDES
As dark as you want on the rear......

So, I would do what I did....35% sides, and 18-20% rear. That is what I had on my max and it was perfect.

I just went 5% all the way around at first, but a $97 ticket for each window made me remove it all and just put 35% all the way around. Anybody know what the law is in Washington? I want to slap on some 20's or 5's on the rear window, for all those SUV driving ****'s with the high beams blaring
