hey guys i'm looking for some help also. i have an e46 330 silver on black and was wondering what you % you guys think. i live in new york and the legal is 70% so i am kinda sketchy about getting something too dark and having to deal with the cops all the time. what do you guys think the darkest i can go without getting pulled over all the time? (i'm a young driver so i cant afford getting stupid tickets, my insurance is already high enough).
thanks-
My car: 20% upfront, 5% in the rear.
I wish I could post images.

AHHHHHHHH ITS CHANGING COLOURS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20% all around, on all of my cars.
50% all around is the way to go
Just got 35% on my car. Might go darker.
Think I'm going 35% seems to be the universal tint. Although 20% looks badass, I think the 35% should look closer to 20% on my car since it's black on black.
I had 20% on my old car 5 years ago all around (California) and I got pulled over. Sure enough it was only a "fix-it" ticket. I had about a month to take the tint off, show it to an officer, and have my citation signed in order for the ticket to disapear... I wasn't assessed any fines.
20% all around is the way to go. I suggest it to all.
IMO the perfect tint setup for any black-on-black car. Had the same tint on all 3 of the cars I've owned so far, worked well in all of them. Even the silver-on-black Integra.20% and 5% in the rear 3 make the 20% SEEM darker.
PS: I don't recommend tinting your windshield. EVER!

Doubled up 2.5% everywhere (including the front) or don't bother! Forget not wanting people to see in the car, I don't want to see out of it!!!
20 or 35 depending on your interior color, anything else starts to look kinda tacky.
5%

Man all these % I feel like I'm back in math class! I'm curious about different colors well manily the mirrior tent. Don't mean to mess up your varouis list of shades of dark. But does anyone have pics? As we see on the last 3 pages everybody gonna have there own suggestion. Lol
O and on the tint % its all illegal in CALI if you have been pulled over by the cops before ( I have!!) after a 1yr of having it. They will use it just to pull ya over!! " trying to cactch me riding dirrttyy"
So yeah whats up with the mirrior stuff??

Im not looking at your car im just checking myself out in the reflection!
Mirror looks more reflective. If it is cloudy outside - you will not be able to see inside the car at all
Silver e34 with grey interior....Would you recommend 20% or 35%. Think I'm leaning more towards the 35% though. Thanks

No tint
Still can't decide. I think Hellrot is one of the only colors that can pull off wheels, lip and a low-rise without tints...but then again, some of those 5% Hellrots are just
Should i tint my beast? BLACK OR MIRROR.

I just got my windows tinted on monday. I will post a pic later. I got 20%. You really can't see in at all, I think I would rather 35% because now I have to roll down the window to flip the bird or to wave at someone etc
It does look very sharp though. Makes the windows look smaller and the lines on the car stand out more, makes it look more sleek.
