I have 50% in my front windows (done by VIP) and 35% in the rear and back windows. And during the day my front doesn't look tinted at all, and I've been thinking about getting it to 35. My only hesitation is the cop situation, but i really don't think they will pull me over since my friend has a honda civic with 20% tint and she is usually just pulled over for speeding and not her windows. I think 35% would look sick, it's still not very dark though so i don't think there will be an issue. And i drive with my front windows down all the time as well.



i'll try to post more comparison pictures

Yeah ur front windows don't look tinted at all. I think it would look better the way ur saying and do 35% on the front.

Got my bug tinted at TNT (awesome job despite some of the reviews on here) this past Tuesday and it was supposed to be 20% all the way around.

Per the nice Va Beach cop on Friday while pulling out of Pick and Pull (side note pick and pull has no VW's at all!), its actually 11% per his meter! Got a warning for it since I told him it was 'not' supposed to be that dark but that the tint shop got a little carried away apparently.

But here are some pictures of it tinted (camera phone quality)

nope just small 3-4" tint strip at the top.

Car has a black dash and black leather interior so it makes it look a lot darker than it really is.

Yeah im thinking bout taking mine back to VIP Tinting and Detailing in a little bit to get mine done on the top of the windshield. What percent did u go on urs? I'm more than likely doin 0% on the top of the windshield (since i believe there's no limit on that correct me if im wrong.)
