New Fit in need of tint

New to the forums as I am a new Fit owner! I bought a used White 2009 Fit Sport AT with only 16,000 miles on it. The one thing I really want to do is tint the windows but I'm unsure on what % to use. Should I tint all 9 windows the same? I'm looking for it to be dark but not to dark to make it tough to see at night. Any of your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You should check your state's laws. I got 30% tint for all 9 windows for my civic. CA laws allow only 30% for the driver and passenger but it can be limo tint for the back windows.

I personally wanted all 9 windows to look the same, I personally think that difference contrast would look funny, that's just me.

Black is correct. Here in CA the front supposedly is not suppose to have any tint at all. But if its light and a cop cant really tell they wont pull you over. As for the rear you can have it as dark as hell. I personally have a 30 in the front and 17% in the rear. Remember the number is not how dark it is ; it is indicating how much light gets passed thru.

Alright, window tint appointment is scheduled for tomorrow! I think I'm going to do 35% on the front four windows and 20% on the rear five and a strip on the windshield. I can't wait to see this thing tinted out!
