Thinking about tinting my windows, they have a very light tint to them at the moment that was done long before I bought the car. My truck has 20% on it which is fine for me to see and because its a truck(doesnt draw attention), Iam alittle bit concerned about putting 20% on because I believe 30% or so is legal in CT. Could those that have their windows tinted just post pictures of your car and the % tint it is? Thanks

I have 35% all around on my focus, it's black an looks pretty nice. I wouldn't want to go any darker for night vision reasons. The ohio law is 50% on front side door windows but I've never been questioned or stopped. I would imagine if i were messin around speeding an stuff they'd throw that on the ticket too though.

Anything in MI is illegal. I got pulled over the day I got my 5% done on my Cobra. I have now have 20% on it and 20% on my other Mustangs and it is much better at night.

Well this is something to remember if you get a ticket for your tint its only a equipment violation so dont pay the fine take the tint off and show them and they will lift the fine. Just some FYI. But who wants to keep re-tinting their windows..

Also im going 20-5-5 i'll post pics later this week

later

Thanks for the pictures, 35% would be legal but 20% still looks so sweet. But I did just relieze something, I never drive with the windows up so I dont think I'd even have a problem with the tint. Think Iam, just going to go with 20%. Sound good?
