That is exactly my point. Another option is to go with titanium on the windshield. It darkens up the car, but the front does not look tinted. My friend has a car with limo all around, and 20% titanium on the front, and cops never notice his shield is tinted. Trust me, if you have a light interior you will be very disappointed with 35.

some officers have a Tint meter in the cruiser.
there are two types, one piece ones they slip over the edge of the window.
and two-piece ones that they use for windows that can't roll down.

Yeah, they shine a light through the window, and on the other side it just measures the amout of light recieved.

Red X if I try to post as an image so click on link. Link
This is a little less than 35%, they didnt have exactly 35% when I went (Ziebart now Z-Tech). I cant remember the number off hand, maybe high 20's? It all depends on how clean your windows are and the angle of the picture. If your windows are clean, at least the outside, the tint looks darker on my car.

I'm not very dissapointed with my 35%. In fact not at all. I haven't had to deal with all the police issues as many others have.
