Need Pics of 50% tint
I am going to tint my driver and passenger side windows. Wisconsin law limits tint to a net 50%. I'm not sure what tint and the glass will add up to but I don't think anyone will notice if I use 50% and am fractionally darker. What I would like to know is what does it look like? Anyone have photos of 50% tint, preferably next to another window that is stock.
My favourite truck store told me WI law was 20%. They're wrong, but if I want to step onto the illegal side they'll do it for me. 20% would match my rear windows and topper which is desirable, but cops are tint Nazis around here so I don't really want to give them reason to pull me over.

The reason why I'm hesitant is because it's two points plus the fine for illegal tint.

I've got 50% on the front windows in my Cobra. You can sort of see it some pics at this link. I bought it a couple of weeks ago with the tint on the windows and I'm seriously considering taking it off. It's a bit too dark for me. YMMV

35 here in WA, i tinted 15% over the factory tint, and have 5% on my fronts, 35% on my windshield, they are illegal and dark but you just have to be careful. 35% is no big deal if you were to have it on your fronts before i went really dark i had 35%.
