Default Cali Tint question....how many have been pulled over?

okay i really need to tint my windows and i am deciding between 25% and 35%. Now i want to get 25% all around but will i get pulled over cause of this? or should i get 35% all around or will it not even matter. I dont really like the look of just tinting the back and not the front. But what i am wondering are cops going to pull me over just for the tint? Damn this is bullsh*t i want to tint up my car but i dont want to get a ticket, cause in ca its not a fix it... well i was just wondering what other cali heads are doing.

lucas
ps post some picof your tint!

Default if a cop is going to pull you over for tint, it usuall won't matter if it's 40% to 20%, tint is tint

to them... most of the time they won't care, but if they happen to suspect you of doing something else they can use tint as the reason to pull you over which is legit. And then work on the rest of the car.

Default I have 28% all around and I personally find it too dark to seee out at night with the autodimming

mirrors... takes too long for your eyes to get adjusted to the darkened surroundings since your pupils shrink due to on-coming headlights(brighter in front since windshield isn't tinted) and when you look through your rear or side windows it takes too long for your eyes to adjust to the difference in light... this is really bad for driving at night because you won't be able to see silouhettes of say... i dunno... light bars on cop cars behind you hehe... i've been there, unpleasant. :P
