the % number on tint is the amount of light that it allows to pass through into the car, lower % = less light. I have 5% tint on the rear windows of my car and 15% on the fronts, it is much, much darker.

In IL, it's not even worth it to tint. I knew this cop who loved people who had their windows tinted. She said it was a free ticket for her, just like no front plate tickets.

looks great! i need to get the clear bra asap. it was really good on my g35. i know an indy place that does a good job. Are you gonna put a front license plat on? I figure i'm gonna because i don't wanna get heat from the fuzz. which is probably why i won't tint either.

On Long Island, they don't really bust balls about tints....unless you're speeding or doing something else dumb they'll break balls and give you a ticket for the tints (whatever its $55 ticket that doesn't do shit to your record)....I got 15% all around except on Windshield obviously and I've gotten tickets 3 times (2 of the times because I was in high school and the principal would call the cops and tell them to wait on the side streets for us and if they found a car that they could give a ticket they would but I got out of them both with the help of my friend who owns a body shop to write up a fake receipt saying I got them taking off :thumbup but the 3rd time was that I was speeding doing 70mph in a 50mph zone and I made some bullshit story saying I had my cruise control on at 55mph, so then he measured my tint percentage with his gay ass window toy and gave me a ticket for that instead of speeding(this was by an NYPD cop, they love giving tickets out)...but yeah....I've been driving for 5 years....and tints aren't a problem around here unless you drive like a complete shmuck....

we are allowed to tint the rear and rear side windows as dark as we choose, I believe 35% on the front windows is legal. I may be just slightly darker than legal.

man, it must be hard to have low profile tires in michigan...i was there a few weeks ago in Detroit for the NCAA Tourney, and MAN THOSE ROADS WERE TERRIBLE! I've been to some roads in 3rd world countries where they were better paved. I hope you have wheel and tire hazard insurance...

Car and tints do look grea though! Congrats
