It's illegal to tint beyond the state law, but people do it.

Can anyone tell me the real world difference between 20% and 35% at night. I want the dark look, and I'm already illegal with the 35%, but I don't want it to be so dark that it could actually impair my vision at night. I could live with a ticket, but not being involved in an accident or running over something because I couldn't see, you know? 35% is good for me at night and I don't have any problems, so I guess I could stick with what I know, but I'd like for them to be a tad darker.

35 is the lowest i would want to go on most cars, even then you gotta roll windows down to see at night.
my theory: if the shop can do an F body with one piece of tint, they are some of the best. and Finneys can do it.
most use a heat gun, on the outside of the glass, to get it to flow into the matrix.
