I decided to keep it legal and go 35% all around. I would prefer it a bit darker like 30% or 20%, but didn't want to deal with cops hassling me...but as you can see, not that dark in the daytime:

I have Llumar which usually isn't too dark. I love it... it looks like a dark gray in the daylight but doesn't black out everything when you're in the car at night.

I have Formula 1 tint, stuff is awesome, I got the reflective so it's near mirrored on the outside, looks damn good and keeps out light and heat

i think i might jus go with 20% all around. the dude told me the cops won't pull you over just for tints but they will get you for it if you get pulled over for something else, kinda like seat belts

I went w/Sungard Endurance metal-sputtered reflective 20% all aroung including sunroof- A cop is most likely to pull you over w/ a black(dark)
tint- w/ the reflective as you drive by it looks like the light is reflecting
everything in the backround off the window- so it doesnt look
limo-ish- Great visibility from inside, reflects the damaging uv rays from
your interior, keeps it cool- and lifetime agaisnt fade/peel/bubbles-
Now we all know the purple look on black tints over time-

id post pics but cannot upload well w/my 56 K connect- Very similar to
Llumar 20% platinum

oh by the way-If you choose a premium reflective tint- There will be bubbles from the solution that
take up to 30 days to fully cure- It took my car 1
week cause I did it in July and had my car parked outside(sun/heat) speeded it- some org members have experienced this also- but damn it looks good-
Specially make the majestic Blue look great-
