Default California drivers what is your percentage on tint

If you're in California, what is your % on tints for your front side windows?
Has anybody received a ticket for having their front side windows under 70% of tint?

35%/5% front/back

no ticket yet. *knock on wood*

chose 35% on front instead of the 20% i had wanted because i think 35% is a pretty sweet spot where cops don't mind too much... but yeah.. does depend on the cop.

%35 sides, rear, sunroofs. More than dark enough, IMO. You can't see in from the outside most of the time.

Tinting the front windows and windsheild is illegal in california anyway, unless you bought the car that way.

2 years, haven't been stopped once for my tint.

'%__' is the percentage of light it lets through, not the darkness of the tint. Not trying to patronize anyone who already knew, just FYI.

i was talking to a police officer and they have a rule of thumb if you cant see the driver they will issue a ticket. Soi went with 20% in the three rear windows then 70% on the front sides

5% on my back 3 windows... 20% on my front sides. and 40% on my whole windsheild. i had a cop talk to me yesterday actually because i was stopped in a residential street waiting for someone, and it was like 12 am.. he told me just to park the car so i wasnt in the street. he shined his light on me and i rolled my window down to talk to him... didnt take a second notice and kept on going. i thought it was kind of lucky...

Limo...Pretty much impossible to see in from any distance or angle.

I have been pulled over 7 times for it but not 1 ticket yet, just lots of verbal warnings.
