What are you going for?
35% is very visible, yet legal in most states...
5% may get you in trouble...
Waite, weren't you in recent forum about this for PA?

Either way, if you keep such a huge difference as in 15 and 35, it will look like ass...
If you are sacrificing for legality reasons, go less (20%) on the back and keep the front.
If you are going for looks and comfort of the tint, then go dark in back and maybe 20 in front...
My since I know that PA has some fucked up and confusing tint laws.





From their website "Examples appear darker on your monitor than what they actually are".

yea jus make sure your car is that low or its gonna look silly

on those sixteens, let us know what you do about suspension.

if you actually make your car look like that

(which will involve heavy detailing),

I give you props for revitalizing your CL

i think 35% is a bit too light, but i dont want to get pulled over for having 20% all around.
here's the way my car looks now

and here's with my shot at 35% all around and lowered

and 15%-35% lowered with clears

Zero CL just got 30% on the fronts and 20% on the rear it looks better than 35% in my opinion, i'd do that if i were mismatching

I have 35% all around and the cops don't bother me, looks ok, but it's too light for me so I'm going 20 all around

well the swap itself is easy, but the killer is that your an automatic. thats unless ofcourse you dont want a 5spd tranmission.

Being a former law enforcement officer and having many relatives and friends in law enforcement currently, window tint is not a huge focus for them. Get the tint you want and dont worry about the po po.

Good luck.

Being that slammed right now, I wouldn't really recommend it... You would be better off lowering it on 17/18"s instead.

Yeah, Chris is right. I got 30% in the front and 25% in the back and it looks pretty good for mismatching of tints. Ive had it on for a couple weeks and havent had a problem. I'm glad i didnt get 35% because this thing is pretty dark. Especially in overcast it looks like limo tint almost.
