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...
Thanks, it is true. I've been asked by the cops to have the tint removed once. My buddy got fined $115 for his and they left a note on the comp saying that the next time he gets pulled over, it must be off.
It's a fine line, be prepared to pay the price.

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..

-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

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

I have 15% and its perfect. If you cant get 15, then go with the 20%. It'll look straight and still allow you to see good.

I had 20% on my front sides and rear windows and got pulled over twice in one week, right after having it done.

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.

Pic request.. TINT-qy3brl.jpg

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.

Pic request.. TINT-qfdfwl.jpg

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.

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.
