Default Tint. How dark can you get without getting pulled?

Thinking of going with 20% but am a little worried the Po Po might get after my ass. 35% probably safer but doesn't look near as nice. Anyone?

Let me paraphrase for you. If you have dark tint, it doesn't matter what the law says, because if the officer thinks its too dark, you're getting a ticket.

i got fucked for having 11% on my camaro.

50% is the lowest legal tint for driver/passenger side windowns and 35% is lowest for back windowns but 35% all around seems to not grab much attention.

He didnt ask what the law was, he asked what he can get away with.

Although I've had 35 front/20 rear for years and never had any problems.
20 all around might be pushing it.
