Virginia law says nothing under 35% is legal.

on my car i have 35 on the front windows and 15 on the backs and hatch. IMO 35 is plenty dark for up front....you really cant see in (and plus texas law says 35 is the limit up front). 15 is pretty damn dark.....like i cant really see out of my hatch at night very well when backing up...but it looks hella cool emoji

I have 20% with endurance film (slightly green/more reflective). I can't see jack shit outa my back at night. I don't think I could see much when i had no tint for that matter. I even have bright ass reverse lights. My front is factory tinted, along with my sunroof. I am thinking about either getting the front tinted too, or getting a color-match vinyl (no flaming ;P).

No. But it is very hard to tell even walking up to the car, but it is just enough to take the glare off of everything during the day.

What about driving at night? No problems seeing things in general?

If the tint is of really good quality, then there are no problems, good tint you can see out, just not in. I really wouldn't have too much of a problem with my 20% being on the front as well, it is a very high quality tint that was put on the windows, but it is probably just a little dark for driving with that on the front at night.

Just got my windows tinted. 5% in the back, and 35 on the doors. I want my doors darker so Im going to go somewhere that does illegal tint and get 5 or 10 on the doors. But with 5 in the back you cant see shit at night except for headlights.

Im also considering tinting my windshield. How dark should I go? Im in Tucson, AZ and cops are pretty stict here, (but i am military and registered out of state).

NH Law is 35% on the back three only and no tint allowed up front/sides.. I have 5% on them and nothing on the sides/front. Been stopped once a couple years back. They pulled out the ting gun and checked the %. He told me I had 48hrs to remove it. Yeah right! Anyway, I went with professional shit about 6 years ago. Looks great and cost $130 installed. However, its starting to turn slightly purple. It had a lifetime warranty so I have been chatting with them about a new application. Either way, Check it out in my link below.
