my car got towed for tint!!!!
im 21. nice job on the age dig there.
5% light transmission means the light available to your eyes is only 5% of what the untinted glass would be. thats a 95% reduction in your seeing capabilities. i have sat in cars with 20% and 30%. 20% might be ok during the day, but at night backing up can be a nightmare.
"i can see perfectly fine" is completely subjective.
"I CAN SHWALK JUSH FFINE OFFISHHERRR!!"
right.

Backing out of driveways at night is fixed with taking two seconds to roll your windows down. I have 5% (aka limo, but "limo tint" sounds so juvenile) on all my windows, and in SoCal where I have my windows down most of the time anyway, nighttime visibility has never been an issue for me.
God, some of you guys are stupid. He's making the story up, move along everyone.
20% is too dark? Wow, I don't know if your vision really degrades that much with age, but I have 5% on all my windows (except windshield, obviously), and I can see perfectly fine. Also, 30% is not dark, at all. You can see straight through it and pretty clearly make out who's inside.

lol... too funny, really I think the dense meter is pegged with the OP
Don't forget to put on your sunglasses. That way your sure not to see that pedestrian. I guess you could use the Braille System when driving.

Um. Yeah. I'll admit I got a 20% (or is it 80%?) tint on my windshield and it's barely noticeable. I still feel a little nervous about it, though it's fine at night. In fact, it's way clearer than most of the smudgy windshields out there. But limo tint? What is that, 5% of light gets through? Dang.
