I've actually been debating going darker because I want darker, but I know the cops that love to bust peoples ***** will pull me over a lot more than they do now. I hate rolling down my windows at night, because I like to not have people staring at me lol. That's usually when I get my tickets. The day isn't too bad for me with 13%. I usually just crack my windows and the light from the front is good enough to have cops leave me alone sometimes lol.

Oh, when i was mentioning you having to roll your windows down, it was for seeing purposes at night. Cause I know my 13% is hard when backing up at night without rolling my windows down.
+1 i also said **** to the cali law.

Not the change the thread subject but I have 5% tint front, back, and rear. Its hard to back up at night but since I have a backup camera its all good. If I didn't then I don't know if I would still keep 5% in the rear. My only thing is 5% is perfect for the daytime but at night it is hard to see on the driver and front passenger window and of course cops will pull you over because its more noticeable at night. When the rainy season comes around I might change it to 35% because of course you can't drive in the rain with your windows rolled down at night or daytime. My front windshield is no tint and I wouldn't want to tint my front windshield for safety purposes. If I get a fix it ticket then I will change my front window tint to 35%.

Congratulations on the car. First thing you need to do is to learn how to pedal dance in order to turn off the traction control and vsc in the car, since you have the 2006 model.
