How or where are you guys getting 5%?? All the shops around here dont go below 27% or whatever

Every shop where I live does it but you have to pay in cash and they tell you it's illegal beforehand.... sketchy.

It's kinda funny because you are allowed to black out the back windows, yes the ones the cop has to walk by first to get to the front window. But you cant do the driver and passenger? Why you ask? Racial profiling. What other reason is there?
No cop is walking up on a closed window anyway, so if the window is down at the time of getting pulled over then who cares how dark it is. It can only be to see what race is driving the vehicle.

It's because your eye uses LIGHT to see. The less light, the less visibility. I had 5% on my fronts years ago. Had to take it off. Parking at night? Forget it. Had to roll the windows down. Right turn at night? Couldn't see if there was someone coming toward me...

Not to mention, you do become a target for cops (and other people who carry guns). Do what you want, but if you hit someone, it's on you.

Where'd you find that? Need to pull up LA. Cops told me a while back when I had my NBS Tahoe with 5% all the way around that even my back windows were illegal and had to be taken off!

so aside from the these dam laws, if we could do what ever we wanted, whats the general consensus? whats the ideal set up? 20%-30% on the front windows with 50% on the windshield and a 5% eyebrow?

heres a side shot of my Del Sol that has 5% on the doors and back, and has the top off in the pic and as you can see you cant see thru it. wit the top on, you cant see me in the front seat.
it all depends where you go to get tinted to get it really dark, if you go to a TINT shop, most likely they will only go as dark as "legal", go to a custom shop, they most likely will tint as dark as you want, with no warantee, for obvious reasons.

Just got 5% all the way around a week ago. Nothing on the windshield. Planning on getting a 5% brow as soon as I replace the windshield, damn crack. During the day is fine. Parking lots and stuff at night is alright. But backing out of a pitch black drive does suck. I am adding HID reverse lights though to see how that is. I wouldnt go anything less than 5% now. I do need to find a way to illuminate my speedometer though during the day. If I wear sunglasses and the sun is behind me I cant tell how fast I am going lol.
