    Can people see inside your car in the day? I was thinking of going 15% as well but I wanna know how dark it'll be.

    tint jobs can range in price. i was quoted 140 for my car by one place and 200 at another. just make sure u get a warrenty, and make sure they use a good quality tint. but if its illegal tint they will only take cash. i dont know about other states but that is how it is in my town.

    15%, 20%, 35% - u can see the inside on a good sunny day but not during night time. u can see but u have to be close. it also depends on the interior color of your car. if you have black or dark color, then 20% would be enough if you don't want it too dark. i always use 5% for the rear, 35% or 50% on the front depending on the interior color and the size of window. bigger window have more light so 35% is ok. smaller window = less light so go with 50%.

    Any type of the tint in the front is illegal for cali. At 15% or 20%, the cops wont really bother. They aren't that bitchy in frisco unless u go 5% all around.

    no prob, man.
    i have 50% front and 5% rear for my corolla.
    35% front and 5% rear for my van. my van have big front windows so 35% is no big deal, looks fairly light during the day. at night time though, its a different story. :D
