Hey guys....from what I understand the percentage of tint allowed varies by state. Here it is 35%. I am tinted legally with Geo Shield ceramic tint on the side windows and rear hatch. They didn't do anything to the lower hatch window which matches very well to the rest of the tinting. Hope this helps.....

I had a tint like that when I had my silver GTI. It just comes with some silver in it but not mirror tint so makes it legal in Texas. Because when someone park or stop next to me, they will still be able to see what is going on inside the car.

I have been told by a relative who is a police officer that if they can see their shield through the tint when they hold it up on the inside of the car, that it will "pass" a field test. I love the tint.....I don't look like a "limo" but it helps in this heat down here.....

Looks pretty dark. Was it a gloomy day or is it really pretty dark? I've had 20% in other cars and your 35% looks just as, if not darker than that.

Maybe with the factory tint yours is more like 20%.

Cunnink....she's a beauty!!! I love the Blizzard Pearl; it's my favorite. Did the dealer install the mega bra? I can't even see it. Wonder if it would work on "Eleanor" my '09 Super White??

So you went darker on the fronts and lighter in the rear?
