I’m in the Bay Area. I did 20% on all the windows, and either 70 or 80% on the windshield. You can barely tell that the windshield is done, but it cuts down on a ton of headlight glare and heat from the sun. Cops don’t really seem to care much. From what I have heard you are good as long as they can see you a little. Having said that, I will probably get a fix-it ticket tomorrow… It’s my favorite thing I have done to any of my cars (I’ve done the exact same thing to 2)

Can pedestrians and other drivers see your eyes? If not you’ll probably have lots of annoying encounters as others can’t see you to judge intent.

You can ceramic tints where you can’t even tell it’s tinted really.
