I’m getting a tint job done this week and really have never gotten anything darker than “legal limit.” Which is 40%, I think?

I have the 20% or 5% option. Is it terribly difficult to see at night with the 5%? Anyone have issues before and had to change? Is 20% sufficient?

Recently got my 2 brake tags in NOLA. There was a guy away from the area removing the tint. I got the truck done, went and got the Jeep, he was still there. Felt bad for him, but it was comical.

Limo tint/5% is for white trash, only you can decide if appropriate.

Something like 50% on the windshield, 20% on the driver's and passenger windows. So, illegal but not very noticeable. Biggest thing is to go ceramic.

I had 5% tint all around on my old Civic back in high school/college.

It was awesome during the daytime, but at night the visibility was absolutely terrible.

I remember having to open my door at night to reverse sometimes.

I was pulled over several times and received over $600+ in fines all together.

As and adult, I don’t feel like drawing that type of attention to myself anymore.

Go 5% all the way around and 20% down the windshield.

You’ll get used to it.

Somewhere between "Lafayette trash" and "self-important celebrity in a limo".

5%, keeps the heat out and I don't want to be seen. Why is that trashy?
