i'm taking the MINI into sunshield on thursday to get my tint done and i was curious how dark many of you have your tint on the 2 front windows. i just found out from the installer that while they will do the tint as dark as i want, it is not legal to have darker tint on the front 2 windows her in california. unless it's OEM of course.

so i guess what is a "safe shade" that won't get me pulled over? i know probably none but, i would like to tint the front 2 windows and realize i'm taking a chance. but, i see a ton of cars with tint here.

so any input? and some pics of your tint and experiences with "the man" would be nice too so i can get some ideas on the look i want.

thanks!

I have 35% tint, and just about every 3rd or 4th car on the road got darker tint than me, so I am not that worried.

 

i went 35% on the fronts and 15% on the backs. looks nice.

 

Sweet I'm sure you'll like that, thats the same % as my tint, and I get a lot of compliments I'm sure you will too! Congrats!
