20 is hard to see out of sometimes, try backing up in the dark

I have had limo on all my cars in the past. The CL is the first to recieve 20%. Well its been 4 years and its going limo all the way around. But from experience be ready to roll down your window and look out when backing up at nite. But to me its worth every bit. My car is white

Limo tint all around.

Always roll down your window when you see a cop anywhere near you.

Pulled over at least 4 times but always escaped tickets because I had Washington state license plates and WA state drivers license while living in California and I always claimed that I was passing through and the cop always let me go with a warning

I have a silver TL-S and I got 18% Formula One tint. I like it dark and it is perfect. I can still see at night and it looks plenty dark in the day. Ebony interior probably helps to make it look darker than it actually is. I've seen the same tint on a light interior car and it totally looks different...it looks lighter and more see through.

Is there any reason you only doing 3 windows. I got my fronts tinted with 35% and back with 20% and it looked good. I got pulled over 2 times in the first week so i had to take the fronts off. It still looks fine, but I don't know how it would look with limo tint then plain no tint next to it. It might be to drastic a change. If you arent doing the fronts I would stay with 20%. It will look better. I sometimes think 20% isnt dark enough thou.

I have 5% all the way around and dont have any problems with it and have never been pulled over. I live in Florida though where almost everyone has tint on their cars.

I usually get 20% on the rears, and 50% on the front! I only do the 50% so that it can match the back a lil, w/o it being hella different from the back! Thanks for the imput guys.

I bought this spoiler from spoiler depot, and on this ebay auction it shows a CL with Limo tint and i think it looked nice!
