you might have to go draker you should ask the place and if it is a reputable enough they should know about how dark to go tint isnt something u want to go to a shotty place for. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with a simple thing like tint. Cracking, bubbles, discoloration. So find a good place and they should be able to tell you about what darkness you need

I had LA Tint do mine. They told me the rear tint was 20%. The legal limit in VA is 50% for the front windows. I had them do 35% because I wanted it darker than 50% and I didn't want it that noticable that it was illagel. You can see a difference in the day light between the two. At dust/evening it appears darker and looks the same as the rear. I did a search for tint shops and found LA tint and California tint had the highest rating of any other company. Price for 50% was 100. I since I had them do 35% they charged me 115.

I don't, but I have seen it done by a few members on other forums. They have said it's like always having sunglasses on. Great for the day but it makes it hard to see out at night. The night time driving plus is no more blinding headlights coming at you. Looks good, but tinting the front any shade is illegel.
