Heres my 20%, no problems. Make sure the guy uses a heat gun at the bottom because of the automatic roll down function.

Ees true.
20% is dark, especially at night. I often roll down my windows for safer driving. But man, I can pick my nose all day long w/o anyone seeing me!

I have heard that 20% tint makes it very difficult to see the valet stand!
Jeph, I hope you wash your hands.

Hi,
Not a fan of tinting windows. That's not to say I don't like tinted windows, but there are 2 problems in doing it as I see it.
It can make a Cop more jittery if you're pulled over and he can't see in the car - not the best time to put him ill at ease.
Also, adding a tint kit (as opposed to tinted glass) can look poor if done improperly. Also, since the tint is basically a plastic film, over time it picks up all sorts of scratches from cleaning and running the windows Up/Down and gives a bad appearance.
Finally, it does reduce your vision on cloudy days and at night. Just my $0.02...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Little OT but I agree.
That is why, whenever I get pulled over, I roll down all my windows, keep both hands on the steering wheel, and look straight ahead. When he asks me for my ID I tell him it is in my back pocket and ask him if I can get it. When he asks for the registration I tell him it is in the glove compartment, I don't have any weponds in there and again ask him if I can get it.
These were recomendations from a law enforcement friend about 10 years ago and I would swear that they appreciate it so much that I almost always only get a warning.

Hi,
Actually, I was told this by a life-long friend and one of St. Paul's Finest. He said not knowing what's on the other side of the glass is uncomfortable and he personally uses the Cruiser's loudspeaker to direct the driver to run down the windows and put their hands outside the vehicle before he'll approach it - said they're trained to be weary of tinted glass...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I've always gone full 100% limo tint on my cars, i figure if im going to get pulled over and be forced to pull it off, might as well enjoy complete privacy while im driving... works well on those days im sick and really need to clean in and pick my nose while driving.
