    I want to say 15%, but I'm not 100% sure considering I actually bought it with that tint from an older guy that brought his BMWs to a shop I used to work at.

        All these cars look great. Since i started this i better post mine up. Excuse the bronzit and wheels. Also does anyone else have a soft top with tint? I have never seen another one.

          After I had my car painted I replaced the old discolored tint with new tint. This is the lightest I could get from the tinting shop.

            How did you get the tinted soft top? I could really use one.

                20% all around (minus the windshield of course) and I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't stand a car without tinted windows...it protects the interior, people can't see in whether your driving or stopped, and to me it looks better.

                I've been hassled quite a few times by local cops, but NEVER a state trooper (be it NJ or PA), but it definitely pays to have a PBA/FOP card in your wallet.

                  I have 35%, and I would say that if it was legal, I would throw 20% on there.
                  No darker than that; I like to be able to see more than headlights at night.
                  I drive like too much of an asshole and need to be able to see.

                  What I can't stand is the people with like 5% on the back window and rear windows, then 35% on the front windows. Either all the way, or nothing.
                  I am super picky about the shop that does it, though. They haven't done me wrong yet...

                    Considering tinting my car once I get all the body work finished for the summer time. With no A/C and a black interior I really dont want it to be like last summer. Im a little concerned about alpine white with tint, kinda a wierd combo. I hate the look where just the back windows are tinted to comply with the law, i would have to do the front and they would have to be even. I wish I could do it dark enough so you couldnt see in but I cant afford the tickets.

                            I like window tint. But I think it looks really good on e30 verts. because it matches the soft top.

                              Not a fan of tint on e30s personally.
