Well, I have 20% in the rear and 35% on the sides. With the darker rear it makes the sides look darker then they are.... but I'm still legal. Just an idea......

When you say fronts, I'm assuming you mean front sides, however, if you're talking windshield.... according to this chart you can only have Amber tint.....

I got 20% on the back window and 35 % on all the sides. If i had it to do over again i would get 20 all around. I got the 35 on the sides because that is what is legal here Sometimes I'll look at my sides (espcially the front) and i can't really tell they are tinted. So i would go for the 20 all around and hope you don't get harassed about it.

I have 20% all around. I love IT!!! I see too many TL's with 20%back and 35%front, doesn't look as good. ("20/35" -- A old man's Tint) Trust me, 20% all around is the way to go. YOu will love it too. If you feel is too dark in the day time, just open your sunroof. And at night time, 20% and 35% looks all the same.

Go 20% all around. You are already breaking the law so go all out. The cops arent gonna be able to tell the difference between 20 or 35. Plus I like when all the windows match.

Well i made an apointment to got 30% on the sides, but after reading this i think i might change it, plus i dont think the cops care to much about the tint when its 100+ outside.

You guys who have 20 all around any pics?

I had 5% all around on my Accord, 35% all around on my GS-R, and I'm trying to decide on what to get for my TL-S now. I might go for 10 or 15% all around - 20% just doesn't look dark enough in the back for me. I can't stand it when people are looking in...

I have 30% sides, 15% on back. The back is almost too dark. Whenever I look in the rearview mirror, I think there's a thunderstorm behind me.
