Sunset Orange Metallic- '02 Firehawk
Gonna go tint my windows. How dark?
State law is 27% but I think that is too light, and I can find a shop that will go darker. I was thinking 15-20% all the way around. I have a SOM Firehawk. What do you think?

Your lucky, in North Carolina the limit is 35% all around. I'd go with 20% on the sides and 5% on the back especially if you have audio equipment.

Sunset Orange Metallic- '02 Firehawk
Now I'm torn. I used to have 5% on my old car all the way around and liked it but hated parallel parking at night, but I rarely drive the Hawk at night. Thanks for the pics guys. I'm leaning towards 15% on the sides and 5% in back.

parking at night wont be that different then 15%, if you want to go dark and know its illegal go all the way. it will great black with the black top of the pillers IMO

our state law is something like 4" on the top of the windshield and only a 4" strip on the top of the driver/passenger windows... all the windows can be limo.
its about the stupidest law in the US.
but what can i say, I'm a rebel, sometimes.
i just roll around with the windows down most of the time to try and avoid hassle from the law.
and i didnt get my windshield tinted, cause the car was tinted before i bought it.00 Z28 M6 T-tops

I did 15% all the way around. Even with 15% its sometimes a bitch backing up or turning onto a dark street/road...if something shoots out into your path, you won't see it. I bought my car completely stock and the first thing I did was tint and windows and it looked like a completely different car. I adv against tinting the eyebrow, unless its a very think strip. I bought a 94 Z28 that had the eyebrow tinted way down and it was very dark. I couldn't see when a traffic light changed. Sometimes I'd have to lean out the window!

I Have Always Had Like 32% On All My Front Windshields. Can We See More Pics Of Your Tint Guys? I Am Going To Strip Off My Cheap Purple Turning Tint And Redo It, But Cant Make Up My Mind Either. All I Know Is 32 For The Front.

how does this sound? 15 on sides, 5 on the rear, 32 on the front? or 15 all the way around, and 32 front?
