Pic request.. TINT

no need to touch the a-spec rims. love the drop on your car maxxx.
i've always been worried about tinting (i'd do the front windows as well)... worried about being pulled over.... fines, etc... my buddy had 50% on too, black a-spec, and he got hella cop attention. 80 bucks / fine or soemthing? can't remember...
It's a fine line, be prepared to pay the price.
-on a bright sunny day

-side angle straight on

-front qtr angle

-further away

-this might be the best representation of 18% during the day

looks like we have the same color/car...so this should give you some good ideas.. 18% is perfect for me.. dark enough to give you shade even in sunlight but not the "blacked out" look..

Getting my car done today, 35% all around except the windshield... i know, i know it's only 35%, but it will be about 30% transmission once it's on the windows, and i live in PA, where i'm only supposed to have 70%... lame. anyways i'm really only going for the cooler temp inside and a bit of privacy. my tl is a nbp, wish i lived somewhere else so i could get limo tint all the way around! i bet it would look sick. I'll post up what it looks like when i'm done today
You might have more luck with 35%, but just about everyone I knew got busted sooner or later. If you see a cop, roll them windows down!
*EDIT* This was when I lived in Pittsburgh. Forgot to mention that.

my fault... forgot about this post. been working.
anyways here a shot from the outside... the windshield isn't tinted so i guess look for that difference between that and the driver side window.

here's another one from inside... you can see the difference here. it's not really that dark... but depends on the look you want.

i'm guessing it looks okay to cops, because i was pulled over for speeding near halfway between pittsburgh and philly and the officer didn't say anything about my tints. i did roll down both front windows before he walked up to be safe though!
ymmv though.

i had 5% all around and 35% on windshield for about 1 1/2 and didnt get shit with cops till last month which they nailed me with 3 in one month not so pretty with $115 each i riding clean ass fuhh now no tints i hate it so much i cant even pick my nose anymore!!! im getting 15% all around and try 35% in front lets see if they fuhh with me n e more hope not
Anybody have pictures of a Gold TL with tint?
Also, with a 15% tint would someone be able to see into the car beyond a silhouette? I have a Parchment (tan) color interior if that makes a difference.
