Hey, I own a dark green 2002 impala with a beige interior. I decided to get tints and I just want to hear different opinions from some people on what % tint to get. I was thinking 45 on the front two and 35 on the back three. Some people are telling me to just go with the 35.

Any suggestions?

Go 35%. if you go 45% it will be difficult at night to see out your windows. I have mine at 35%

I have another question about getting tickets for having tints. I heard here in NY its $90 a window, but they only mess with you for the front two. Now my question is if I was to get my hands on a PBA card, would that help me in any way if i ever got pulled over for tints?

I have limo black tint on my Camaro. Love it, but it can be a pain at night. Never got pulled over- but I have louvers on the back & they can see through that.

Want to tint the Impala and will go with a lesser tint. Will go with the maximum legal tint- but I'm in Fl., we need all the tint that's allowed!!

Yeah thats deffinetly true. I don't really need them, just a luxury i guess. Just hoping it won't burn a hole in my pocket

Check out the laws for your state. to make sure you are Legal.... Or you could go to a shop and tell them to tint it as dark as legal.

The higher the percentage, the less the tint. The percentage dictates the amount of light that can pass through.
35% is the darkest tint allowed by North Carolina law on the front windows... whether your state or provincial laws are the same, I dont know. Factory tint in the rear windows is usually 17% on SUVs and 40% on cars, so you should be able to bring it down 5%.
