Yes. 20% tint lets in only 20% of light, therefore the lower the % the darker the tint is. Some cops have a special device that shines a light or led though the window and measures how dark the tint is.

Yea I live in GA and my tint is illegal. The legal limit is like 32% but I've had mine for over 3 years so I don't plan to take it off until I get a couple tickets for it.

I have no clue how much a tint ticket is and hope not to find out. I used to have 8000K but got rid of those and got 6000K instead. Better lighting and not so ricey a color.

Yea I do have to roll down my window a little to see backing out of a driveway so you're right about that, but overall I don't mind it.
