    window tinting question....

    I really don't wanna hit it with the 5% all around but I still want the deep cave look.
    I've been thinking of a 35ish in the front, something around with the 20's on the back half.
    anyone have any similar setup with pics that can help me make a choice.

    thanks guys.

    If you want it to look dark I suggest more than 35 in front. I have 20 in front, the stock 15-18 on the sides and rear and a 50 on the windshield and I could have gone a little darker in front for my taste.

    I live in Southern Cali where CHP is full of jerks. I don't even want to touch the windshield, but the 20 in the front sounds do-able.
    any pics that might sway my vote?
    thanks

    If you don't want to deal with fix it tickets...

    then don't tint the front doors.... that is against the law... doesn't matter if you go with light tint...

    just an FYI...
    Thank you Bigal470

    I want cake and I want to eat it too Noid.
    I normally am not a fan of window tinting but the Charger just looks so sexy with the windows blacked out on BB. ouch. makes the chrome shine a little more IMO.

    The law in California for the front doors in 70%. It's basically clear but you don't have to leave it with nothing and still be within the law. If you want all the details check out this link.
