Pic Request: lighter front tints vs back

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Does anyone have darker back tints with a lighter front? ie. 40-50% front with 35 or lower backs?

Curious to see how it would look, I'd like to keep it uniform if possible but unfortunately anything on the front windows is considered illegal here, just not sure how much I want to push it. Our back window is so small tho, maybe it's not even that noticeable? Thanks!

That's not true. Front tint in California must allow more than 70% of light in. Basically as long as the cops can see you through the side glass you should be ok.

I live in CA and hate that look,
If you do a moderate (classy) tint of 40% all around, the cops will never bother you and you will have a better uniform classy look

Thanks, yea was leaning towards 40% uniform too. I've noticed a few people driving around with at least 30% tint or lower, you see either a shadow inside or nothing at all..wondering how these people not get pulled over.

I went 50% sides and back.
Functional, looks uniform and no worries with the authorities.

You want the rear to be a shade darker. That way when you are looking in from the sides it looks the same as when you look from the rear. The sun coming in the front windshield makes it more harsh.
