Default Glass Tint

Getting the two front windows tinted tomorrow, 35%, just curious if I should go for 20%.

What have any of you guys done?

I like the looks of 20%, but went with 35% here. I still maintain some visibility at night (though not easy), and it's the legal limit where I live. I have a hard enough seeing things (and backing-up) at night through 35%. I'd probably have to roll down the windows for visibility if I had 20% - plus it's not worth the risk of getting pulled-over; been there, done that.

I'd stick with what is legal for your area.

It is done and thank you for the replies.
I went with the 35% and it looks nice, matches the rear pretty well. I like what it looks like from both inside and out.
I was told that 35% is legal and I stayed with it.
I just came in from a ride, it is dark out and I had no problem backing up using the mirrors.

Hey Chameleon. congrats on ur upgrade. I'm contemplating getting the 35% tint, also. I was wondering if you could post a pic of ur vehicle? If not, no worries. I just want to get a look-see on the 35% tint. And if anyone here has pics of tinted windows on ur Hum-Vs, i'd love to get a look at them.

I'd love to post a picture. I will take one later today.
I've been meaning to do that anyway.

So far the tint is working out for me, I'd say the installation is 99% of the battle, the guy that installed mine did a great job.

Don't mean to threadjack, but here are some pictures of my H3 with tinted windows. This is 35% film, matches the rear windows pretty well. Bought on e-bay and installed myself, got a few small bubbles on passenger's side, but overall not too bad. If I had it to do over, I'd take it to a pro.
