Nah thats why I made sure to go legal on the sides (35%) in CT, and the back window can be as dark as u want, and u cant tint the windshield but most cops approach you from the back of your vehicle, so my assumption is the windshield wont be an issue either, where as the taillights will be one of the more noticeable things a cop would see when he pulls you over, and I had a buddy who got pulled over when I was in the car with him for smoked lights, and he had them painted, he had to spend a week sanding and scrubbing the paint off cuz he got a fix it ticket, ended up ruining his taillights and had to replace them. All in all it was a hassle and big PITA :rofl2: So i speak from experience :icon17:

I did 3m ceramic cm 50 all around incl windshield. 50% is plenty dark enough and the heat block is unbelievable. All around was $650 with a lifetime warranty.

Im getting mine done this weekend at 20% all around, no windshield, but in CT, you can in fact do a strip on your windshield. I got pulled over like 10 years ago for tints (20%) and the cop had a light meter. The front wasnt the problem...

20% will be very dark. I have 35% all around and the first thing a cop did when I got pulled over was to run to the windshield. I drive around with an eye doc note - swan dive :icon17:

Well, i dont really think 20% is toooo dark, i just know i feel 35% is too light... Its a toss up. Hopefully since I last got pulled over for tinted windows (10 yrs ago), the cops have lightened up a bit haha.

35% won't be too light because the interior of the car is dark as well. I went through that decision a few months ago when I was getting my tint done. :icon17: I don't think the cops have lightened up since, I got pulled over twice this past weekend, funny thing is I knew they were going to pull me over. PW Zs are cops magnets.
