Default What % tint do you think?

So I am getting my car tinted tomorrow morning. I am thinking a dark for the rear window and two sides and a lighter front...

what would you suggest for a silver prelude?

I'd suggest 20% all around. If you go any darker, you'll get pulled over and ticketed.

35% all around. i dunno... in MY opinion, when light color cars have black ass tint it kinda looks awkward.... :dunno:

I'm taking it to Craig's roommates. http://www.eloquentauto.com/

I agree on the dark ass tint on lighter cars...my old black car I had limo back and I 20%:dunno: fronts, but that looked nice because it was black.

Hopefully he can give me a sampling!

Well, California law says your fronts must be 70%. I don't know how hard it is for you guys to pass inspection out there though. Your rears & back can be whatever.
