Default Window Tint

I wanna tint my windows sometime soon. I heard 35% you can get away with, but with limo tint they are going to make you take it off. But what if I don't?? Because I want them dark and for sure I know bored cops are gonna pull me over. I was thinking 35% on the side windows, and limo tint on the back window.


Suggestions?

I have 5% all around on my car. But the top is almost always down and the windows too, so I have never had a problem. Every car I have ever owned has had dark tint. It keeps the car cool inside and keeps people from looking in.

I have been wanting to tint my windsheild too but havent done it yet.

the law says, you can do 35% on back side and rear windows, but nothing on the front windows. That means I can legally tint they rear window only. and what does it have to do with being gangster?

I never understood why people would tint a sports car. You want to be seen in it.

That's why you put the top down...

Mystery adds to the allure. Here's an experiment: Go strip down to your boxers and walk around a bit at the mall. You'll get some funny looks, but definitely some interest and uncertainty about what you're doing. Now go strip naked and watch the girls run screaming. Watch out for the for the chubby one though..she might need you.
