[QUOTE=A4Cragman;1111902]Do they split the windows anywhere else? In your case, can you not go below 35% anywhere on the car or just on the front windows?QUOTE]
No, that'd be nice but here it's an all around law. 35% on all glass and we're allowed a strip on the top of the windshield to reduce glare. I'm thinking 20% all around on my silver car will look good and look darker because of the black. I still need to see though lol. I wish there was someone around me with 20% that I could drive with at night. THATs what I'm worried about. 5% is too dark for me though.

Ah. Lucky, you get an extra ~10% leeway for your fronts. I could live with that limit, to be honest. I think I could sacrifice not being able to take the rear half as dark as I can now for being able to get the front a little darker.

In VA it's 35% on the back 3 (or 5 windows if you count the lil quarter glass), 50% on the front 2, and nothin on the windshield. I was never a big fan of tinting different windows to different darknesses, always thought it looked funny, so i just went 50% all the way around. I dunno if i have any good pics of the windows, lemme look...

Well for those that live in states were you can put tint on the front door windows you guys are very lucky, here in CA the law is NO tint on the front windows period. I know people that have been pulled over for tint on the front windows even though they are "factory" tinted and even after looking at the windows and running their hands over the window the cops still dont believe they are factory. Some times I wonder what planet they get some cops from, must be that one where they dont have cars.

I have 20% all around and the law is 35% on the drivers and no cops have ever questioned me about it even tho i've been pulled over twice. the 20's are nice because they are just enough so that at night no one can see wut ur doin in there lol. Its only difficult for me wen i first get into my car for my eyes to adjust then after that only left turns worry me a bit but usually if theres no lights no problem just pull right on out lol.

I live in southern cali and I have 5% all around which is way illegal, legal = no tint on front windows. (look at pics on first pg). Since i have had tint ive had a cop come up to my window and talk to me and he said nothing about my tint
If i see a cop on the road, my windows will be rolled down

Dark just makes it harder to see and if you have that dark of a tint on the front door windows it becomes very hard to see while driving at night and this means driving with the windows down at night.
My lowered truck had 2 layers of limo tint all the windows except the windshield and it was a bitch to see while driving at night. I went 35% all the way around on my A4.

Best of all, it's legal. One less thing to worry about. I also have yellow DMV cert stickers in the windows (most which I have taken out and glue to a piece of paper) and put them in my glove box along with a paper from the DMV and company who installed them.
*You have to be careful with this. I have a spoiler with a 3rd brake light. You don't want your 3rd brake light to be blocked by tint.
