All in all it was a hassle and big PITA So i speak from experience

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

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. 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.
