Got mine tinted 30% all around. Looks nice, but it's darker than the legal limit. Virginia is 50% front and 35% rear. The guy at the shop said you can go up to 7% darker than legal and be ok due to some discrepancies in rating between different manufacturers. So, I am ok in the back, but not in the front. The guy at the shop said, I shouldn't get pulled over for the tint, but if I do get pulled over for something else and cop wants to be a pain, then I could get a ticket. Hope I don't get pulled over. :-)

you can barely tell the difference between 30 and 35 unless you see it side by side. you should be fine.

Cool. This guy also had 18% and I had a chuckle. :-)

LOL. Maybe it's more common than I thought. I've never seen it in Cali. The most common here is 5, 20, 35, 50.

Maybe 18 is common for residential or commercial. :shrug:

18 is absolutely ridiculous. I like 30 or 35. I have seen people playing around with the color of film tint. Some have very classy looks.

Close. I went with 18% as I have white interior in my car so it doesn't look that dark.

No, 5% is ridiculous. You have to take the interior of the car into account also. 30-35% would not have looked like much against my white interior.

4 days? They have to trace out the entire electrical system for this?

Hope you get her back soon.
