    Do you have the front windshield tinted? Is that ok? lol I thought there was a general consensus that that is a bad idea

    Well.. IN MI... Anything on the front windows is Illegal.. No matter how dark.. Unless you are going to do a 4" strip..... I was for sure doing 5% on the back. And said ok 5% on the front since ANYTHING is illegal up there... I have no problem seeing at night... I need to upgrade my backup lights to LED also.... But other then that it is not bad at all...

    #1. You are asking a guy who chose to go with 5%... SO IMHO YES...
    #2. you gotta make that decision for yourself man... What do you Like...
    If you come to this side of the state I would let you drive my car(with no leaves ANY WHERE NEAR BY) and then you could see if you want 5% or lighter...

    Ok I'm thinking 25-35% depending on what they've got. THis would be in the future though as I have like zero money.
