Tint Help!!

How much tint do you yall have on your windows cuz i wanna get mine done, but i dunno what to get. I wanted 20% all around, but thats illegal and good tint shops refuse to do illegal tint all around here no matter how much you beg, so I have to get 35% 2 front windows 20% rear; or 35% all around. I dunno if it would look bad with 2 different tints on a white coupe since white accords have light interiors. Please Help!!

Heres my car

Are you sure you're allowed to have more tint on the front than the back? Here in the UK a law was just passed banning all tinting on windows further forward than the A-pillar (the one the back doors are hinged onto). This is so that the police can have an easier time picking out the banned drivers that would previously just have driven a completely blacked-out car.

Now the manufacturers in the UK have the rear windows tinted darker than the front. It looks alright (kinda like a limo ) but, whatever you do, keep it legal.

Re: Tint Help!!

get just 20% on the back window, that way the side windows are all the same but the back window is darker, you can't really tell the difference when comparing a side and back window.
