Default Getting my tint done tomorrow, still unsure on %

In my state I can only go 35% on the front windows, then as low as 5% on the rest

I wish I could do 25% all the way around, but I can't. And I think 35% is just a tad too light.

But I think mis-matching tint looks tacky

At this point i'm just kind of leaning towards 35% on the front and 25% everywhere else. I searched and saw some pictures, but mostly everyone here has like 5% all the way.

Anyone else got pics of a little bit lighter tint?

How strict is your state on tint laws?

I dont have tint, but stock reverse lights suck so bad that backing up at nighty blows (I Live in the country where we dont have street lights)

However I had a sonoma that had what looked like dark tint on the club cab and back windows, and lighter tint on the side windows.

The dark tint in the back was just as easy to see thru as the front. I guess all tint is different, I bought a crx off mithuth that made me want to smash the 1/4 glass out for the drive home, couldnt even see the lights of the car next to me on the thru way. Dark Tint sucks. lol

The 35% will actually look darker with the rest of the glass done in 5%, and it doesn't look too mismatched.

I don't want 5%. I go to school in a small mountain town so visibility is already bad, plus I don't even really care for the way 5 looks. I think 20-25 is perfect.

but it still looks mismatched with 35% on the front. and every picture I see of cherokees has the front windows down or 5 -___-

this is my jeep with 35% on the front windows and 5% on the side, it has 15% on the hatch window and I can see just fine. The 35% looks dar as hell from a distance but you can still see thru it when you get up close. The 5% makes the 35% look darker than it is so youll still get you desired results and be legal
