3% all the way around.....

or do like i did.

3% on the sides,30% on the Rear and 50% on the entire windshield this way if a cop gets behind you he can see all the way through the car and hopefully not bother you.

Guys, I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow and I'll need to pick up some milk.

Should I go with whole, 2%, 1%, or skim?

1%, less fat....

this thread amuses me as much as the one where the guy wants us to pick out his paint color on a vehicle MOST of us will never see or ride in....

OP get whatever tint YOU want...IF u dont wanna get hassled by the cops dont get a low % tint, go to a tint shop and ask to see samples and pick which one YOU like. not one single mod on my car do i do for anyone else besides my self so as long as you like it who cares what others think about....some of us mix and match percentages, some dont, some are legal, most arent...
