Uhh, you sure you have that right? You can have it 35% in front but only 20% in back? You sure that's not reversed?

Yeah it would look ugly if u had different percentage of tints, I'd probably go with like 20's all the way around so it'd look dark but not enough so that the cops will bust ur chops about it..as for brands..I don't have enough exp installing them to help u with that...

In PA you can have the back windows tinted as much as you'd like, but no tint on the fronts. Whoever told you those numbers is probably just trying to act like they know WTF they're talking about. A cop isn't going to stop you and pull out his light meter or ask for the receipt to your tint. Fact of the matter is that they want no tint on the front windows period. If you were a cop, would you like to approach a car at 2:30 AM, not being able to see what's going on inside?

He got it right; the higher percent is lighter. Lots of people get different percent in the front and back. don't look too back as long as same color

Huh...Now I think I should go 35% in the front and 30% in the back so that it doesn't look ugly. Do you guys think 5% difference would be look that different?ANyone knows any websites where you can place the different kind of tint on the car and see how the different tint % would look like??

Hi guys..IS it possible to get 32% tint in the front windows?Do shops put 32 or 33% tint or is it just 20...25...30...35%? I just think 35% is too light and looks crappy with 20% in the back. Thanks
