That chart says ? for whats legal on the front two and 4" down for the visor. Is any tint even allowed in MI? For some reason I was thinking it wasn't but idk why I thought that. Anyway while 15% is pretty dark it shouldn't be too bad. I had 20% over the factory on the rear and it didn't really seem that dark to me. It was darker than the 35% up front sure but it wasn't that bad imo. The 5% is a lot harder to see out of at night but even I got adjusted to it.

As for 35% I didn't think it was very hard to see out of at night but I didn't like it either. I thought it was way too light in the daytime and just didn't like it a whole lot.

ok i know you already decided and others have posted, but since i said i would here you go.
sorry, truck is dirty. in the interior comparison pic the passenger window looks smokey cause of sun glare( and dirt), but in reality they look similar.

Those pictures all make 15% seem black. Isn't 15% more like what the factory tint is where you can see completely through it when the sun is out? I know my 5% doesn't look any darker than those pictures of 15%. Thats why I have sort of learned not to like pictures. How does 15% look with sun hitting it? Can you see right through it like 20% or the factory tint?

It looks like you got it in the signature. I see it. You should just put [img]picture link here[/img]

Just like that only replace those words with the link. Your seems to be working though.

from outside the factory tint looks A LITTLE darker than 15% but at night it's very hard to see in, and looks exact, during the day it looks almost exact
