I had 5% all around ontop of the factory tint. Damn it was dark, but I got used to it after the first week or two

Default My tint...

I have a '95 2 door civic with 5% on the driver side and passenger, 5% on the back, and a 5% brow on my windshield. It use to be illegal in my state (missouri) but the law got all screwed in legislation, so all cops can do now is try to give you a ticket and harass you but as long as you go off about how you checked with your local law enforcement and it's legal they can't do anything. It is illegal however to have the middle of your windshield tinted. I love the darkness cuz no one can see me but i can't back up..period, and at a four way stop i can't see left or right at night, so i just pray peeps have their lights on....it's pretty dangerous but i can't say i would want it changed...

Damn, the tint shop here would only do 30 on the sides and 15 or lower on the back, so I have 30/15 on mine and it looks pretty good. I wish it were a little darker. Tinting your windshield is illegal in every state unless you have a valid medical reason like supersensitivity to light and you get permission doctors and the state DOT and blah blah blah. Plus it's pretty hard and expensive to tint a windshield Because of the plastic safety layer between the glass layers. They can't heat the window up to apply the tint because it will jack up the plastic layer so they have to use other methods. At least that's what I've been told by a couple of different tint shops.
