I'm going 15% in a week or so.

Here in PA it's 70% all around on cars and nothing below the AS1 line on the windshield. Anything else (SUV, Van, truck) it's 70% on fronts and you can spray paint any other window black.

Here is a shot of the 5% on mine. 15% is probably all you need however this is what my car came with and I am happy with it but the cops..

This is 35% film But with a meter it measures 27% VLT due to the natuaral tint of the bare glass.

Mass legal is 35%, so i'm slightly illegal. I usually drive around with the sunroof open or such to let light in and brighten the windows up. But i get nervous on cloudy rainy days when i keep the roof closed and the windows up. It looks much darker than here then.

I think it's silly that SUV's and trucks and minivans can have the rear windows tinted fairly dark from the factory. I think i measured the OEM tint on an SUV once and it was 18% or something on my meter. WHy can they have it OEM and cars have lower limits? You could sit in the the back of an SUV with a rocket launcher and nobody would see you, but cars are a different story?

I love dark as can be (especially living in Phoenix, AZ)
I used to have 5% all around on my old car and it really helps in hot hot summers, easily keeping it at least 10 degrees cooler in your car.
On my mustang now I got 5% on rear and 20% on front with a huge 5% strip across top of my windshield to block as much sun as possbile. If I were to do it again I'd go 5% all around

look at how sunny it is compared to reddaemon's pic, also notice how much further away and the upward angle compared to a downward angle. 35% isnt that dark on a bright sunny day, but on a cloudy day or when the sun is going down it looks alot darker.

That would be my guess. Very easy to see through.

I had 35% put on mine but reads 30% on the doors.The small and rear windows are 5%.
Texas doesnt care about the back and those small windows...you can paint them black and still be legal unless the law recently changed since I was an inspector.

In Cali you can get what ever tint on back windows but front door Windows gotta be "legally" 70% or clearer

Just bought this a few weeks ago and at first didn't like the tint as dark as it is. But after a couple days to get used to it, especially on 100+ degree days, I'm liking it.
