Hello everybody, I have done a ton of searches, but I couldn't really find anything to help me out. I had a couple questions but wanted to preface it with the fact that I live in PA where tint less then 70% is illegal. I have black on black and my car just gets way too hot though and I love the look of tint. My questions are:

Did anybody have the small tint strip installed on the top of the windshield? Does it still look classy or does is look out of place on a G sedan?

I was thinking about doing 48% on the sides and 40% on the back? Or should I try 48% on just the front windows and then 40 on the back sides and rear window? Do you think the fade tinet is more of a tip off to cops?

Feel free to share your thoughts and pics if you have any that may help. Thanks!

Does yours have the OME tint at the top of the winshield? If so I'd just leave that as is.

I'd just do 35% all around (I assume you meant below 30% tint is illegal in PA). Tint is usually measured by how much light it lets in. 35% and 20% are common, 5% is limo style.

Yes i do have the OEM tint at the top, thanks for your input on that.

In PA anything darker then 70% is illegal, so even 50% tint is illegal, but they really don't bother people for it. it honestly sucks that it is that strict. So do you think 48% on the front windor and 40% and the rear side and rear window would be a tip off to the cops? Should I just keep it at 48% for the whole side?

Wow, that law sucks.

I would just do one % all around, just whatever you think you can get away with. It can be a pain, I have 20% on one car and have to do some searching for inspection places.
