Does anyone have 70% tint? How noticable is it since it is letting 70% of the light thru? Thanks.

a lot of time the front windows from factory are already slightly tinted that way...

don't even bother with 70%. even 60% and hardly anyone (even cops) can notice it...

I would put 50% on just to block out the UV and heat. And it will be a tad darker but you won't notice it much.

it depends on your interior color. if you have blk interior like mine, 40% could look dark already. but if you have light interior (say tan), 40% and you probably won't even notice it. also have to do with size of car, etc... can't just say % like that

Ca law says no tint is allowed on front windows
actually, it has to allow 88% light transmission. good luck finding a tint light enough.
we all break the tint law anyway though.
