Forgot to mention, if your solara is already modded, i.e. exhaust, loud azz music, etc... why worry about tint?? theyll find anything to pull you over so might as well go all the way lol

So, would 25-15-15 be reasonable? Most states from the list I have referred to have on average 35 for the front windows, so I don't think that 10% would be THAT noticeable, or am I wrong?

I've got 5% limo tint all the way around. I don't like people watching me pick my nose at stoplights.

I've had my tint for about 4 years, and that was all in Orlando, FL. I never had any cops harass me. I think it's like a 2nd offense; they won't pull you over for tint only, but if they pull you over for something else and SEE your tint, they might give you crap or even a ticket.

ive got 35% all around. i sometimes wish it was darker cuz the tan interior makes the tint look even lighter.

Are you sure that they even make 25% tint? I was told that they do not.

I've got 5% all around. I really want to go legal and put 35% in the front and 35% outlining the windshield too. And yes it is a pain in the ass when backing up with 5% tint. I have to roll down my windows sometimes, I have very good eyesight so that helps tremendously 8)
