5% all around just keep your front windows down...that's what I do.

i got 20's black Llumar on all windows cept winshield. I would do 35% all around. This is the last car i will go this dark... i like it, esp on a black car, but very hard to see at night i always have to roll the windows down and too many tickets.

I will be getting 30% all around tint on my C230 Kompressor.
I honestly dont want to go too dark because:
  • I would like to somewhat be seen driving my mercedes benz.
  • I would like to see where im driving (since im tinting the windshield also)
Ive seen 30% on another C230 Kompressor and it looks good.
Its all up to person to person preference. Everyone has different opinions.

lol for sure. that'll look nice.

i'm running 35% front and rear sides and 30 rear windshield. gives it that cool blue color, only problem is that my interior is light grey so it looks light as hell. oh well i've never been hassled about it and it looks awesome at night, when it really matters.

when you are parked, or when you simply don't give a **** about a ticket and you don't want anybody to be able to see in your car. So you can have sex at the drive in or in a community without someone seeing in your car. So you can smoke a piece, blunt, joint, or bong without anyone being able to see. So you can pick your nose and passing cars not be able to see you. So you can play miley cyrus's CD on full blast and people can't see who you are. So when you come to your car after it has been sitting the school parking lot with a blazing sun attempting to beam in your windows it is then rejected by the tint. So that you get the complete stealth effect on a all black car. So that the sun doesn't glare in your eyes when it is present because your car is now too low and your sun visors no longer block the sun. Ive gotten 2 tint tickets and I just re-tent them so it doesn't bother me. But for me? Why do I do it? I like the way it looks and that is why I will continue to do it.
