So my wife and I got a new car, and I want to get tint on the windows in the next few weeks before we take it on a road trip. Ive been bouncing around in my head the percentage though.
So I will mainly be driving this car. I work at night. Its night when I drive to work, and depending on the season, still dark when I go home. (Leave at 7AM if I leave on time) Its a white car with lighter interior.
Part of me wants to get 35% and call it a day. Legal in IL so I wont get fucked with, and if I do I have nothing to worry about. Plus with all the night driving, should be no issues with seeing out of the car.
Part of me wants 20%. One of my buddys at work has 35% on his gray car with darker interior and I can still see inside his car even at night. I know the whole reason is to make everything darker for yourself during the day, and keep heat out, and UV rays, but I still want the bit of privacy and dark windows on a white car do look cool as hell. Im just worried about driving at night with 20%, along with the legality of it. Im usually just Addison to Vernon Hills, but my wife and I do go out on the weekends and will drive the car around then as well.
Another factor is the legality in other states. I googled it a bit last night and some states will just check your states laws, and others will tell you to pound sand it is illegal in their state. So I dont want to get screwed while on our trip.
In the past I have had 20% and 5%, but they were only on the back windows. Ive never had the front windows tinted, so I cannot really gauge. Just thought I would ask for opinions since Im sure some of you guys have had different types.
Thanks in advance.
