    alright guys, so im thinkinf for my next mod i get my windows tinted, now i live in illinois and the law says no lower then 35% all the way around. i have a blue green 2005 grand prix, would 35% look alright or should i run the chance of getting pulled over and get 20%?

    35% isn't bad.

    if you want darker than 35% go to 15% (or 20% if they dont have 15%).

    I live in illinois and just got mine tinted monday at 35%, I honestly would love to have it darker but I the town I live in happens to have one of the tint testing things so I didnt want to risk it. I would say go to your local police station and ask what towns around you have them. I would have gone 20% but lots of tickets have been given out around me

    anything higher then 35% in my opinion isnt worth it, barley makes a difference, 15% or 20% will suit u nicely

    My friend got limo tint which is 5% visibility, and he loves it, but at night he says it's awful, especially cause we have lots of motorcycles. But yeah dude I agree with either 35 or 20%

    im running 35 up front, and 20 the on the rears.

    at night the 20 is kinda dark but doable, but add rain and the 35% up front is still hard to out of.

    jersey allows what ever you want on the back windows, but the fronts are to remain factory. so far been stopped 2 times, got one ticket.

    my friend had a black Tahoe with 5% all around even the windshield, hes a car dealer so he didnt really have to drive it at night

    i have 15% all around on mine i think it looks good

    i did 5% all around and 50% on my front windshield and love it. you can hardly see anything inside at day light through the front. I live in Cali so cops are a pita but i dont like people looking insde my car. heres a pic from the top view with the sun still out. made my car look a lot better.

    Yeah tint really made it stand out and look a lot nicer i know its illegal but ill rather take a ticket anytime then someone stealing something out my car or messing it up. Had ppl trying to break into my silver gp many times luckily they never got in and trust me the feeling sucks. especially on a car you really enjoy.

    IMO i wouldn't go any higher then 20% above that i wouldn't bother, usually at 20% they don't bother much i have that on my silver gp 7yrs and no ticket on it.

    with tint they have to break the window to figure out there is nothing to steal but change.

    without tint they can see there is nothing to steal. just sayin.

    35% is better than no tint at all.

    this is 35 up front and 20 on the rears. the front is lighter but not by that much.
