I went with 20 percent on the rear windows and 35 percent on the doors on my 2002 PW/B and never got stopped in 4 years, but worried about it all the time LOL!
On my 2006 SR/S I stepped it back to 35 on the rears and 50 on the doors and it still works but I don't worry at all, even though 70 percent is the darkest allowed. By NYState law.

We are allowed 15% on all rear windows and 35 on the front doors.

But noone ever says anything. 70% isn't very much at all, but I'd NEVER live in NY for many reasons.

ojedam, I agree 100%. It makes a really big difference. I will also be looking to get my windows tinted asap when I get my VO next month. 20% looks so sexy!

That looks great...I love the Orange/Black contrast. I went with 35% on my windows because it's HOT here in the San Fernando Valley in the summer.

Saturday I get 40% on my TG. Lowest final is 25% here on the front sides, I could go darker on the rear to fully blacked out but I like to see. Might let them talk me into the 35 on the back but I want an even look on the sides. The Pinnacle 40 (which is spec'd at 43%) should bring it down to around 30, well within legal but with black interior and TG it'll look darker. Pics here after it's done.

Llumar Pinnacle 35 on all sides. (Was gonna go 40 but they don't carry 40 where I went. They did a great job.)

Now just need plates and I'm done for a while.

Freshly polished Nothing like an extra 4 hours of work because dealers are lazy, but at least it looks awesome now

Did anyone else notice the EU F56 have a different hood compared to the US ones?



US spec



EU spec

There is no "bulge" in the hoods of cars I've seen posted from Europe.

I don't know if you've seen this yet, but peter314 posted this video in a different thread. It may be of some help:
