^back up bumper if you have a stock bumper, and no lip, i don't see how you would damage it, you smash everything else underneath before the bumper... trust me i know, next time i have my car in the air i'll try and snap a pic of the frame rail
...unless you drive into a curb or something

If 20% is legal, I say go for it. I have 35% which is NC legal limit, and wish I could have went a little darker.

i don't think he will have a problem with 35%. i bought the car with 35's all around and i never got ticketed for it. but then again at night i would drive with my windows down, unless im on the freeway.

yes, but you don't have as bad as cali's retarded laws.

dennis, what i would do if you are going lower than that is to get a prescription saying you need the tint because you have sensitive skin. that might be better than buying lunch all the time.

PA is just as bad if not worse, there are tint taskforces that drive around pulling people over just for tint, but I never get a second look with 35%

I'm going 20% too :gheylaugh

I'd say 20% is fine. I've had my 20% tint since i bought the car and have only gotten 2 warnings about it, one in NYC and one in PA

in NC you can have 35 all the way around but it can only go down like 2 inches on the front. I have never had a problem with the cops here but definitely have had problems when getting it inspected because of tint being below 35%. Its a pain to have to peel of your tint to get your tag because now our inspection is tied with out tag and if its not inspected you can't get your sticker for the tag any longer. I guess if you know someone that will inspect it then its not a problem but I had 5% on my camaro and never had a problem until it was time to get the inspection done
