Tint
I'm tinting my windows this Sunday 
Not sure wut percent to go with 
The guy who is tinting my windows will do any percent on any window 
Two people I know have had him tint their front windshield 35% and sides and back 5%.. no trouble yet. I'm thinking along the lines of 15% on the sides and back.. but the ttops look around 20% so maybe I should do 20% on the sides? Or maybe tint the ttops darker too? I'm leaning towards making the ttops darker and 15 on the sides and back.. I would like to do the windshield too but I don't want too much trouble for it so I probably won't lol wut does everyone think?

I never used to get hassled about tint, but it only took one cop and I got a ticket that at the time put 2 points on my license. those laws aren't to harass you it's to protect the cop(they can't see what the driver is doing when stopped, and there have been cops killed by thugs) so if you don't act like a moron they usually let you go

I hate how the tint laws are. A guy like me, driving to my grandma's house with my mom in the passenger seat, gets pulled over while the honda that was next to me with limo tint goes driving around like a **** ****. Pisses me off especially because my side windows were only 35% and the tint only lasted like 3 months.

Right now my windows are 30% and thats the legal limit here in Indiana.. And this sucks because it is so light you can see right through the thing.. I have seen many cars drive around here that I know has darker tint than 30%.. So Im gonna go with either 15-20 for the sides and back...
