I just tinted mine today (US) and they borked it, poor communication on my part and poor clarification on theirs. I said I want full legal % on the front as well as the rest. They gave me darkest on the rears and legal on the fronts...not sure if I want to swap to legal all around (having to go back in for another hour or so).

So like you I would love to see a lighter tint all around (as well as other shade combos).

where I live 35 is the darkest legal tint. I have 35 tint on the sides and 20 on the rear window. Flash kind of screws it up but here's a pic:



oh, and this guy seems to like the car!

Wow, better a frog than a cat. My neighbor's cat come into my garage and walk all over my car, and it left a couple claw marks on my hood. I'll shoot it the next time it steps on my G (jk animal lovers, i would not do such a thing)

To the OP, check local laws to see what they do/don't allow. In Cali, anything below 70% is illegal. 70% is pretty much almost nothing, so basically all tint is illegal. Doesn't stop most of us from doing it anyway.
