        I would prefer 5% but that's just because I like it dark and so people cant see in.

            The only problem with 5% in these cars is its gonna give you a lot of trouble with tickets. Seeing as these cars leap off the page, if they find nothing wrong with it after pulling you over, they'll sure as hell look at the tint

              I have 0% Tint. (or 100% light defraction), and i have never had an issue. the darker the better for me. I think that goes back to a previous forum however in the legalese talking about what is legal or not. From what i remember, a good argument was that cops can't prove what is stock and what isn't. Either way

              I have 0% and loving it.

                  Cops can be dicks about tint. It's "officer's discretion" and I've had a bunch of different explanations. Such as, if you put your license to the window and they can read it, it's okay. Or it's bad if they: A) Can't tell how many occupants are in the vehicle B) Can't tell if driver is male/female. Here in Ontario, there's really no "official" way of checking, and I don't believe that there's an actual tint limit

                    I know that the 'legal limit' in ontario is 20%, and usually they flash a flashlight through it from the inside, and if they feel its too dark theyll ticket it.

                      Can you guys get tint on the front windows in Ontario? When I lived in MB we could, moved to SK and we got ticketed on them for being in the front...

                          Negative on windshield tint. You can have like, the top few inches and the bottom few inches tinted (which would look idiotic with both) but the majority of the middle needs to be clear.

                            20% all around, or 35% in front and 20% for the rear (my car)

                              In Ontario the Police would have to test your tint on the spot with a Light Refraction Device in order to make the ticket stick. However just getting pulled over because of that repeately sucks. Also on North American cars there is a AS1 tint reference line on front windshields indicating the lowest any tint can come down from the top of the windshield.
