18%

5% on the back, 15% on the front. Soon to be double 5% on the back and I'm gonna add a layer of 35% to the 15% to get darker. 5% is letting in too much light for me.

5% all around

hypothesis

25% all around

Thought I would add to the list -

I went legal and did 35% on the sides and the rear, and did nothing to the windshield. The tint is 3M Colorstable and is guaranteed not to fade.

Pics were taken on a very sunny day. It looks a lot darker when it's cloudy or parked in the shade.

i'm a total n00b to all this, so here's my dumb question
va state law says that the tint must allow %50 percent of visible light thru on the front windows, and %35 on the back and rear windows.
soooo what % tint do i need to get? if i get 35% all around, am i still going to get a ticket?

RodC

If the law says 50% then you need to get 50% or higher. You may or may not get a ticket with 35%, but it will be illegal.

Vorthr

and 50% is pretty useless isn't it? and if i do 50 up front 35 in back it's going to look fugly....damn
