I have a white celica and was wondering if 15% tint on the back 3 windows and 35% on the front two "since thats the legal limit in the front" would look good, or should i do 35% all around.

heres my state law for window tint, when I went to the store to take a quick look at what they had i saw that they said 5, 15, 20, 30% not 70% so does that mean I would have to use 30%? Im a little confused

Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Rear Window Any darkness can be used.

Percentage refers to the percent of light allowed to pass through the tint. In other words, 5% tint means only 5% of light can get through. 70% tint means 70% of light can pass. In other words, your state laws saw that you can basically black out the rear window but the sides and front have to be very light tint.

Thanks, do you think 50% on the sides would look to obvious? I'm thinking id do 50 on sides and 20 on back
