haha, well lets see. here are the main %'s. 50% is worthless, just for nice cars trying to keep the leather from the sun. 35% is good for people who want tint, but dont want to get harassed by the cops if your state has tint laws. 20% is dark enough so people cant see you sitting at a stop light, but its still not TOO dark. And 5%, thats if you dont want ANYONE to EVER see in your car. I have 35% on my car and im happy with it. Here is a pic.

I dont know the exact number they were lowered, but they are cut FRPP springs that I got used for really cheap. The FRPP springs are rated at 1.2 inches front, 1 inch rear without being cuz so im sure my car was lowered about 1.7 front, 1.5 rear I guess. Im not really sure. And by the way, I think me and acer2428 put the front left springs in different than the right so it seems a little higher.

I have 35% on mine which was the limit at the time. If I knew our state was going to be passing a "no limit tint law," I probably would have went with 25% or something. But the 35% is fine for me.

I also have 5% tint. Cops never see me rolling with my joint and if I do get pulled over I just eat the joint.

In Florida the Law is 35%on Driver & Passenger Windows, The Rest 20%. I've got a Brand New Film By 3M, Paid $150.00 for my Cobra, And It's 15% All Around.Looks Awsome. If you Car has the Dots on back Window, you need to make sure they File them Down so the Tint Sticks, Some Companys will only tint up too the Dots and thats looks like CRAP,Good Luck.

NO! doesn't make ya cool, good try though! I have 5% all around mine, true, you cannot see out very well at night, but that's what lights and mirrors are for.... And, no its not legal here in Fl, but they don't inforce it, everyone's tint is illegal here in the sunshine state! and If you have leather like me, the darker the tint, the longer your leather will last! 5% keeps my A/C from bineg used soo much too!
