What color is your vehicle? 30/15 will not restrict visibility a great deal, but to everyone their own.
You could drive down the tint shop and have them hold a film over the window for an idea. I personally
do not like different shades in the front & rear.. you could just do 30 or 35 all the way around.

I have 13% all around. I just took some quick shots from both outside & inside views. It's perfect during the day, but it does take some getting used to when it's dark out.










Pardon the picture quality, taken from the cell. It's also a cloudy day today..

I have a Pearl Beige car. Haven't done any mods yet, but I really liked the look of the 30/15 and I was hoping to have my car look like some of the other cars in this thread

EDIT: well it looks like below - excuse the quality, haven't done any proper photoshoots ^^

i have a pretty wacky set up (in person i promise you, you don't notice and it looks good to me) i have 5% my rear windshield, 20% my side windows, and 50% the front windshield.. the only one that looks light is the windshield

as for me getting harassed in the ny area like the rest o the guys.. i have jersey plates <3

so because my car get's another states inspection limits etc. they can't ticket my car because it gets passed in a different state

doesn't mean NJ is lenient, but i drive only in nyc when i'm out of the house and when in NJ it's max to the local mall or in town (town cops know me, i grew up here and in NJ each town has it's on dept. so they tend to be lenient against locals, BUT doesn't mean crossing over into the next town you wont get ****ed) or a simple ride to the mall that an officer won't stop you, but for the most part i don't get as much problems as NYers do, i feel bad for them.. my cousin tells me in NY w. his plates being from there he gets so much sh** for it it's ridiculous

Good luck bc here in NYC you allowed 0% tint.
15% is pretty dang dark. Maybe re-apply with 35%

I've had all my NJ cars tinted at 35%. I used to get pulled over in my ghetto Ford Probe all the time when I was a kid lol, but since driving MB, they don't bother.

Please let me know soon! Thanks!
Be careful of a tint this light. I made a mistake by thinking it would be more *see through*, which technically, it is. However, when applied, it makes the window into a mirror almost. The darker tint looks a lot better and is not as reflective for some reason. I did this to my Prius and all of the windows looked like mirrors.

If anyone is looking to get a great tint for a reasonable price I'd recommend Tiffany's Tint for anyone in the Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington Ontario area. Great folks, great job. Love the new tint.
