Isn't that what the Limos have? Or do they have 5% also?

5% is limo tint. Tint usually comes in 4 different levels, 50 (too light), 35(light enough that cops usually won't pull you over for the front side windows but still a tiny bit light) , 20 (just perfect but cops might pull you over), and 5 which is limo.

0% is like painting your windows black. if you want rediculous dark just do double 5% or something

Can you really put 2 layers of tint on your windows? I read somewhere on the RL forums where his window wouldn't come up probably due to a shitty tint job but it was only one layer, I know it's really thin but supposedly due to the tight tolerances for wind noise resistance our windows might get stuck?

Whack! The outside might get chipped up easily but those celebs do some whack shit to their cars... They're all so similar, black car, black 20+ wheels with a polished lip, 5% tint, system. eh...

35% all around here, since Rhode Island considers anything less than factory on any window illegal.

I'm not sure about double layers of 5% making it so dark you can't see anything but I'll bet it would be damn hard to look out and even harder to look in, 0% is like painting your window black like klepto said, that would make it impossible to see for sure.

well of course youd still be able to see out because of sunlight and such. but that would be your best bet to go "as dark as possible without paiting the window black"

I just said the 2 layers of 5% in response to what Klepto was saying about going darker than 5% without painting the window black, but I personally agree that 20% is dark enough.

15% all around.

Its just right, you can actually tell its tinted during the day, and if i went any lower i would hit pedestrians when im turning, and also reversing at night would be bad if i went any lower
