i had 20% on the front windows and i wanted them darker. So while i had the windows w/o tint i figured i'd do something unique.
The design i did it in 20% mirror and then did 5% over that
Let me know what you think
Oh and i also redid my windshield strip..before it was at the "legal" height. Now its 5% and like 8" long i believe
Let me know what you guys think

Not my style, but it lookswell done. I wish we could legally tint our front side windows here in Michigan.

Hey sjr- I've had I think total 17 tinted cars in MI and never had a problem. I have 3 family that are police, and while there are no guarantees, they said that if you're not doing something dumb, you probably won't get pulled over for tint. If your front windows are lighter than the rears, you probably won't get pulled over for tint. Mine have been 20 or 15 rears, 35 fronts, or factory Ford tint and 35 fronts. And one of them is Portage police... ;)
 






looks awesome

Most of the time they won't bother you, if they can still see in. They use it more of a reason to pull you over. As you probably know the law says you can go as dark as you want in the back. But the front doors and windshield you can go as dark as you want but only 4" down from the top of the window. I have had many cars too, that have tinted windows and 3 different tint tickets. 1 in Kalamazoo and 2 in Battle Creek. Stay out of Battle Creek with tinted windows. My 2 tickets in B.C. were less than 2 weeks apart.
 






Very nice. I especially like the side window treatment.

Since you asked... I think that dark a tint is a hazard on the road. It is too dark to use at night since you simply can't see anything unless it is lit.

It looks fine and I like the design you used. I'd just stick to 35% tint.
