    go to the limit your state will let you go, I just got to pay for my wifes tint to be removed because she thought it was cool to go darker than legal last year.and it wouldnt pass inspection, Shes having it retinted again on her on dime this time. if your state doesnt regulate it though I'd go dark as hell!

    if you dont have Tint law in your state or they arent that strict about it go with 5% but, just becareful when your backing out at night, you wont be able to see shiit, but if you want a nice looking tint border wise, i would go with 20% thats what i have and i still got pulled over but it looks clean.

    I think it is 35% in our state. You should be able to google it for your state.
