    Alright I have an 03 limited edition, its ivory white and was wondering what percent of tint would make it look SUPER clean and not over done...i dont want it to just look cool, i dont want to over do it. I have black rims, with chrome lip, and i got my vent visors professionally painted white let me know what you think! Thanks

    oh BTW, I also got to be careful because I live in Iowa. I'm game for tinting the front 3 windows, but I dont want to be a cop magnet.

    I just did 20% on mine. I also have a white coupe. I think it looks good and not crazy dark. 35% is what's legal here though.

    hmm. i see a lot of vehicles around here with 35% on front side windows. but in Iowa no tint is legal unless on back windows. i had 20% on my last grand prix and got pulled over twice and ticketed once for like 68 dollars! Would it look bad if i just went 35% on the front windows and like 20% on the back?

    15% is pretty common for a shop to carry. that is what i have on my car. it is decently light during the day, but not light enough to bother me. at night it is like a cave and you cannot see into the car at all. here is a picture of it:



    and on a brighter day:

    I have 15% on the back, sides, and a strip on the windsheild. Its nice but i wish it was a bit darker. I may go 10% in the future, that or i'll just tint my windsheild to 35%...

    03GTX do you have any more pics? im thinking about doing that exact same thing 35 up front and either 20 or 15 on the back and rear windows. and my cars black too.

    if it wasnt an automatic front wheel drive four door grandmas car it would be really nice

    remember your car windows already come tinted... what is it? 5-10%? so when you get a 15% you are really making it 20-25%

    I'm sorry I don't know what the tint is from factory.. but just remember if you get it tested it may be more than you purchased
