Sup man,

I recommend limo tint all around because it just looks better and sleeker. And if i had the choice i would love to tint my front windshield, but my parents won't let me do that. So i would say *5% all around*, but if you want to be safe do 15-20% all around because 35% is just too light for me. It's like a smoked tint and you can easily see the person completely through the windows. If you want to see the tint on the cars...then come to one of the OC weekly meets. Hopefully the sun will still be up by the time you meet up with the members so you can see what the tint looks like in the daytime.

-David

I've got 30% tint on the front 4 windows and 25% on all the rest! :] It's pretty dark, but I haven't been stopped by any cops yet. :] I wanted to tint the front windshield just a little bit, but I know for sure I'll get stopped. x]

You will it dosent matter even w/ the tint that even look like you have tint, some how they know


Also dont even worry about the front plus you around th oc you can go 15 % in the front and be safe around here, so put some tint in the front b/c it funny look w/out tint in the front.

Come out to are weekly meet in the oc.

if you're worried about the police then it's best you don't do anything illegal. simple as that. Don't draw attention to yourself.

it long story and funny too, it just happen few days ago, tell at the meeting if you go. But any way 10% is good choice but 60% in the front, that not evening having tint in front, and most place dont even carry 60 % around here, but a lot in the east coast. I have ask metro sound for quote before and it was running around 190 to 220, if want tint shop i have guy in stantons on beach blvd call Alpha Tint, and he has done few tint jobs for our socal fits guy, dose great job and have special price for our Fits I roll around HB all the time day and night, even had popo ask about my fit even w/ my tint.
