    50% tint? why only 50? legal here in Indiana is 35% and on just about every car I've had has been done at 20%.

    does your state only allow 50% on the front door glass but say you can use 'limo tint' on the back doors and rear glass?

    we did 35% on our Blue Ribbon Prius and well, it's pretty dark.....about as dark as I want it. can't imagine doing 20 like I have on my white Charger.


    FYI:
    50% tint means that 50% of the light is allowed to pass through. 35% tint means that 35% of the light is allowed to pass, so it will be darker than 50%. 20% is even darker than 35 and so on.

    That's just for the front windows. It's illegal to go below 70% on the front side windows in California, but you can pretty much get away with 50%.

    Bear in mind the factory glass is already tinted ~75% in the glass, so your 35% is more like ~25%.
