When I purchase a new vehicle, the first thing I do is tint the windows,if it isn't already done.
For those of you who have tinted windows, do you use the dark window tint on the side windows or do you stay within the required limit for tinting ?
Three of my cars are legally within tinting standards for Texas, my Stang on the other hand is dark tinted all the way around.
It just makes the car look sharp. IMO

FlahDah man.
Go to the Donut Shop and ask the cops, they are usually very helpful. As a matter of fact there is an active thread on that very subject.

In hawaii the legal limit is 32% or if you are ballsy, 29% if you really want to push it.

I am going to try and get away with 20% all around here in Central IL. Around here it totally depends on the city you are in for legality/enforcement.

20% is liveable, I think anything darker can be dangerous. Depending on color 20-28% is decent. Whenever I get pulled over, both windows are down, and in my stroker the sliding rear is open, just to give the LEO a better feel because of the dark tinit, and so they don't notice is as much.

5% all around, looking to throw on 35%-50% on the front window. I like it dark, plus with the heat in the summer around here, it will help keep the fading out and the heat out.
