Before my AP1 got totaled I had just gotten the windows tinted; in Florida 35% is as dark as you can legally go on the sides but it barely looked tinted. I wasn't pleased at all.
Where is the sweet spot that looks really dark but still allows you to see at night?
5%. You get used to it after a few days. You don't get pulled over for it (South Florida at least). Only time you usually get a ticket for tint is if a cop pulls you over for something else, then notices the tint. I've yet to be ticketed for my tint i've had it for 5 1/2 months now. I love it!
Before and after shots of my tint. Legal in NC is 35%, so thats what the side and rear window are. Not sure what the windshield strip is but I would guess its 10% since it is very noticeably darker inside than the side windows.
