Im in Westchester NY and Ive had my car tinted for almost 5 years.

Front windshield from top to bottom: 35%
Sides, rear soft top, and rear hard top: 20%

These pics were taken years ago and the tints still look as good as new with no fade, scratches, peels, etc.















Inside view



Heres a pic before I got them done

Correct (pretty much)

Rear window can have any shade as long as you have two side-view mirrors.
The sides is where it can be tricky. Total light passage through the glass must be at least 70%. Which equates to 30% film on a perfectly clear window. However, you must take the factory glass color into account as well. That's why you need to put a light-meter on the glass with an sample of the tint you are looking to install. As long as total light passage is 70+%, you're good.

The windshield can have a visor strip that protrudes 6" from the top of the windshild down.

Here is my car with 35% all around. I also just returned my 550i in Alpine White as well with 20% on the windows. I was harrassed all the time and if my father wasnt "on the job" I would have had countless tickets.

My interior is black as well, so with 35% it makes it darker, id go with 35% all around, it looks dark enough where you really cant see in it, but it still looks classy

i got 5% all around and 35% front windshield but 70% is whats legal in NYS so tints alone gives cops reason enough to stop you. Just a little heads up
