what percents? I am still decidign to go 5% all around and risk a ticket from the cops. NOTE:my friend got stopped in a park by a sheriff for his 5% tints and got a ticket. Court didnt let him fix it and get the ticket dropped. OR should I settle for the legal tints.

Not a cheap fix it ticket in my area. I got a ticket for 20 % all around on the prius (for work reasons) and the ticket was $250 the judge gave me $100 fine instead as I have a valid reason for the tint and was waiting for my waiver info to go through the state police offices. You can't get a brake tag around here with too dark tint.

A little too dark IMO, I would rather go with a lighter shade and gain some night-time visibility.. But to each his own..

Looks good with the stock MR wheels

Its not cheap considering you pay for the front tint then have to remove it

In CA, you basically cant have ANY tint on the front windows. Rear windows have no limit as long as you have side mirrors (you could paint them black if you really wanted)
