My old truck had 5% on the back five windows and 30% on the windshield I owned that truck for around 5yrs. Had them tinted like that the whole time and got pulled over a few times and nothing was ever said about my windows and that was in 2 different states. I will say every time I was pulled over I rolled down all the windows to make it seems lighter in the truck

That's a good idea about rolling down the windows but what if you got pulled over at night lol

If it's your first time tinting your windshield go 50 percent. And 25 or 35 in the front. If you go 25 with the 50 people won't be able to see inside.

That's 50% on the windshield and 25% on the front two? That looks good

It was very limited.

Having that much tint? yes.
5% on every window makes the cabin pretty dark, obviously worse at night, but atleast I have a clear windshield.
When I added the 35% sheet to the entire windshield on the old car, it was nice and cozy during the day, but at night it was too much.

to answer your question having 5% all the way around makes it hard enough to see out the sides at night, but combined with the 35% tinting to the whole windshield? yeah it sucked. Looked cool, but wasnt worth the decreased visibility, nor the unwanted attention from the city police.

Its all about location for getting pulled over. I had an impala for about 8 years with platinum plus and a layer of limo behind that (like sitting in a cave)...lived in Tx,La,Ms, and Fl never got pulled once. When I moved to SoCal I got pulled Soooo much I ended up ripping it all off:(

Now that I'm back down south I'll step my game up again :)
