AHHH the joys of having out of state plates. South Carolina has no front tag law and I think the tint limit is like 27 or something like that.

I have 20% on my car all around, and it looks very good. Never been pulled or given a second look, although it helps the car is black, but having a domestic helps as well. I wouldn't go any darker than 20% on the front if you still want to see at night when it rains.

Thanks, Im looking at 35% all the way around, and if a cop ever decided to be a dick I only have to ditch the front windows. Now where to get it done at for ~$130?

My brother had 5% on both of his old SUV's and never got pulled over.

My mom has 20% all the way around on her CTS and got pulled over. I'm about to put 20% on my TA and hope for the best I had 20% on my Camaro and never had any problems.
