My quesiton is, if I get a 20% tint all the way around, will I still be able to see out of the middle, back and gate windows?
I have an 05 Renny with the packaged tint, whatever that is?
~thanks~

I've got 15% everywhere but the front on my KK and I can see out just fine.

Is 20% on the front legal where you are?

The reason I ask is that Florida law requires 30% or lighter for the fronts.
I guess it's cause we have more gangstas down here :shock: .

I had 5% on all my windows on the Amigo and a 10" 5% strip across the top of the wondshield. I could see out great during the day, but it took a little getting use to at night. I loved it though, you could cup your hands on the window and try to look in and couldn't! The KJ only has the stock 15 or 20% and I plan on matching the front side windows soon.

I'd bet it would depend on the Police officer and the mood he/she was in at the time.

Be glad you don't live in IL. No tint is allowed on the front door glass at all...

The law here is 25% but I don't think they pull people over for it. I have 20% on mine all around but the windshield and have never had a problem. If the cop is having a bad day you might get a fine, they do have a devise to test the percentage. Helps to roll the window down when you get pulled over so they can see in real easy. They will nail you for the windshield though.

Here's my after but it's just the front to match not all the way around. I really like it though.

I have 20% up front and love it. Its easy to see out of at night just got to look a little closer. In So.Dakota the tint I have is illegal but I have been pulled over a few times and never been ticketed for tint. Just don't be doing something stupid and you wont have to worry about it. Plus the added bonus of not having to adjust the visors to the side you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

I've been thinking of getting my windows tinted. In Virginia you can only tint the ones behind the driver, down to 20%. How much have those of you who have had the tinting done, paid for it?
