What % tint are you running with, or how dark would you want to go? My parents got me tint for my birthday around a month ago, but being the law-abiding citizen that my dad is, he got me legal tint (MS) which is 30%. It's only dark when it's cloudy and raining, other than that I dont think it was worth paying the money for (at least the price they paid for).
Once I pass inspection, I'm thinking about getting 15% on the front windows and 5% on the rear (to make the front windows darker). I'm not too worried about visibility with the rear windshield since the autodim mirror already makes it look pitch black when someone is behind me and I got used to it, but I plan to disable the autodim somehow when I tint them 5% (unless the lack of light because of the tint makes it not enable). As much as I'd love to, I dont want to tint the front windows 5% because I still want to be able to see my side view mirrors and windows and I can work with that, I got used to it after my last car. I hear that 20% is decent for seeing out of at night, but not too sure about 15%. I guess I wouldnt mind 20%, but if I'm breaking the tint laws.. Might as well go as dark as I'm comfortable with.
I also think I should be able to get away with illegal tint (HOPEFULLY) since my car is registered and licensed in Mississippi but I'm residing in Louisiana until I graduate college here. I dont think LA cops have jurisdiction on something such as state-specific tint laws for vehicles not registered in the state. I'd probably only worry about it in Mississippi, but it's always hot when I go (especially in the summer) so my windows would probably be down.
If you wouldnt mind, please post some photos of your tint!
