What % Tint Should i get??

Hey guys i wanna get my windows tinted (hopefully for my b-day in sept.), and i'am wondering what % to get my windows tinted. I definately don't want to go any lower than 15-20%. So the range i'm thinking about is i guess like 15%-40%. I've searched endlessly to see pictures of those higher percentage tints but i pretty much only see pics of 5% tint. I just want to have that tinted look, but be able to see pretty clearly outta them at night. In PA the law is 70%--which is bogus---so i want something that u can see in alittle bit so i dont get 5-0 on my tail alot.

The tint that came on my dads truck from the factory seems to be a good shade for me. anyone know what % that is??



And post pics of your 15%-40% tints if you got em.

I would go with 15%. Looks good during the day and you can easily see out the windows at night.

Here is 20% on the back, and 38% on the fronts

I believe, new vehicals come with 20% on the back, but in illinios, its illegal to have the fronts done at all.
But i havent had any problems yet, but now that i said something

Its a big difference at night, between the two
I can see way better in the truck than the car.

Also my sister has 20% all around on here gtp, and she gets pulled over alot, she even works for the court system, go figure
