Tint limits are diffrent depending on where you live. Places like Florida have really dark tint. I think the first time the cops say something about it, it is only a warning. Just say you bought it like that and didn't know. My friend bought a Ford Ranger and the tint is like almost limo tint no joke, but noone has ever said a thing to him. Cops are going to pull you over for tint. Best way to find out the limit is go to a tinting place around where you live and they can tell you. Some placed will go over the legal limit and some wont.

just make sure if you see flashing lights in your rear view roll down your windows before you come to a full stop... thats just a safty issue for them... they can't see in and don't know if you have weapons

mirror tint only looks good on silver cars. if you have anything else do charcoal. 15% is what I have all the way aroud my car. You cannot reckognize faces seeing in, yet you can still see out of it at night. I've heard numorous complaints about seeing out the windows at night on 5% and 10%. I'm in fl and the legal limit for tint is 30%...anything lower and you can get a ticket. Cops 98% of the time won't pull you over for just having illegal window tint unless you know your state has strict laws. The only way they will pull you over for just tint is if you have something very illegal done to your car like tinting your entire front windshield. That is illegal in ANY state. If you don't know price already to do your whole car should cost around $125-$150. You can find people who will do it cheaper, but the more expensive people will take care of your tint for life (as long as you don't scratch it yourself) I had a few bubbles on my drivers door 4 months after my tint was installed and the guy had no problem replacing the tint on my door. Good luck in your venture for tint

I don't know what the tint laws are in wisonsin, but in NYS the tint laws are ridiculous. It's like 60% or something like that. My friends '00 GT has 5% tints on his, but there are certain towns up here he can't go through. He has magnapacks on his car which draw attention from at least 3 blocks away. The police in a few towns screw with him every time they see him. There are some cool cops that give warnings and let him go, but there are also the d*cks. I plan to get 25% on the sides and the 35% on the back. My ex-GF had 5% all the way around her Sunbird and it was like riding in a coffin. I couldn't see out at night and I hated it.

IMO i dont mind the red ex you showed, which would be purple in your case. but i do think it would attract more attention, also how many other purple mustangs would have it lol if someone wanted to find you it would always be easier haha.

There is a Grand Am around here like that, but it is silver. If you like it go for it. If you get pulled over be sure to roll your windows down. LOL

im going tomorrow to get mine tinted 15% all around and it should be 110 with a life time guarentee. im in florida soo 15% is legal all around except the side window which is 28%. i think it will look better having the same tint all the way around plus the side window is where u want the darker tint anyway.
would it look good to have just a little mirror tint to it just so that it would shine back a lil but not be silver? i think the pure black with like 5% mirror would look good... ill ask the guy tomorrow
