5% is pretty dark, but I don't think you'll really be bothered that bad unless you tint your front windshield. The front windshield tint is usually an attention-getter to cops and they'll pull you over all too much with that on there. I've had 35% and 20% on my two cars and I've had no problems aside from two sets of tickets in 4 years, both of which were only $65 each. Either way I'd probably still go 20% and maybe 5% in the back if you want, because to have that in the front is pretty dark for nighttime driving.

FYI, for the whole ''out-of-state plates'' thing, it sometimes might work, but most of the time they'll give you the ticket anyway.

my mom drives a 2002 TL and got pulled over for 35%'s all around, nothing on the windshield. the cop was like, oh, i thought you were a kid. here's a warning, your tints are too dark, have a good day!

haha.
