Window Tinting (pics)

Got the stang tinted last week. 35% on the fronts and 15% in the rear. It is high quality Solar Guard brand film professionally installed.
I'm not sure if it is dark enough, I have 20% on the jeep and I went lighter on the stang cause I thought it would be about the same darkness due to (1/2 the amount of windows).What do you guys think?

Looks very good. I used to be a dark tint guy (5% and 20%), but I am moving towards the lighter side now (35%).

I think the Stang looks very good. The rule of thumb usually goes, the darker your windows are, the more attention it draws from cops. That's what I've noticed at least.

I think that's plenty dark. Personally, I like tint to be dark enough that it looks good and keeps heat out, and light enough that you have visibility. Looks to me like that's about perfect.

Looks good.

I have 35% on my door windows and they don't look nearly as dark as your car. I have a feeling they put a lighter tint than I asked for.

Looks nice.

I have 5% on my three rear windows and 20% on my sides. I had a state cop do a u-turn across 7 lanes of traffic to coem after me and give me a ticket for my tint on the side windows. You would of thought this guy saw a serial killer on the loose the way he spun around for me. I just paid the $90 fine and left it on. If I get another on it is coming off for something lighter.

Try this link to see what's 'legal' (mostly up to the cop that stops you though)

that chart is actually not very accurate.
http://www.iwfa.com/iwfa/Law_Chart/S...aw%20Chart.htm is much more detailed

I was at 5% all around in AZ. Now I'm at 35% fronts 20% rears. It's much nicer to be able to see out your back window when it's dusk and most people don't have their lights on yet.
