Thanks, I think the po po will give me problems up in CT with that, 35% is the legal. I guess I could always take it off if I get caught, but last time they made me remove the back NO Eceptions. It bs!

black max... i don't think that you have 15 on the front windows... that would be much darker, and you would hardly be able to see through the car.

you might have 35 on those front windows.

looks sharp either way!

This is Madico 40% tint. It meters at 32%. This pic is obv in direct sunlight and taken from the side so it's pretty much the lightest it ever looks.

You have ***** tinting the windshield!!! Here in NYC, you would be pulled over in half a second with a tinted windshield.

If you do not mind me asking...why did you tint the windshield?

Did you also tint the side mirrors markers?

I know what you mean. I've gotten different reactions from the cops with different cars though. With the exception of this one, I've always gotten 20% on the back windows and 35% on the side windows. I got pulled for it in my '92 Camaro and '95 Maxima (no tickets though) but in my '02 Maxima and my '05 Maxima they never bothered me.

I think I'm leaning towards an all around 25%. Seems like a good middle ground to me.

15% on the side windows and do the rear window at 5%. A good look. Even darker if you put up the rear sunshade.

I've had my Maxima now for 14 months and I have received one ticket for tint in California. 5% on the back and rear windows, with 25% on driver and passager windows. These limits are legal for Arizona, which is where my car is registered.
I will add some pictures later...
