35% Tint

I live in PA, and 35% is the limit. I have a BO 37s, 35% better then nothing?

Anyone else live in PA and have different and are alright? Any pics of 35% tint and others?

Sure its better than nothing but its still pretty light. I personally wouldn't go any lighter than 25%. I have 20% now and it looks perfect. I just roll down the window when I see a cop.

Do a search, theres plenty of pictures on this forum to help you decide.

I'd get 25%, if you're worried, get 30%.

Do you have state yearly inspections.. we do in NC, I have the tinter verify they'll pass and live with less then I'd like. Some do illegal and have it removed before inspection and put right back on afterwards. If you get caugh by an officer with a meter which I'd bet is rare unless they're really dark, it's not to much to remove, get cleared and put right back on

I put 30% on which is plenty dark for me, especially on a black car. Even with 30% I have a hard time seeing at night, can't imagine any less.

35% isnt that bad if you have a dark interior 15-25 would be better if you have a lighter interior

35% is better than nothing, IMO. I personally hate driving a car without tints.

I've got 35% on all the windows and 70% (I think.. might be 50% since the tint guy kept pushing it on me) on the windshield. As long as its a ceramic tint and you're going for function, it can reduce the heat going through the windows and be perfectly fine. If you're going for looks, go as dark as you want.
