35% is the legal limit on the front door windows of any vehicle in Ontario. You can put 20% on rear windows, and as dark as you want on the back window. I went with 35% all-around on my stang, as it's interior is dark to begin with, and night time, it's hard to see into my interior. I had 20% all-around on my focus, and never ran into problems...I think that's because it was a black car, and the tint was the same colour and darkness all the way around...

I'd say that looks more like 35%+

20% will be darker than that, then 5% is even darker

Or !!! you could do mirrored tint like the rallye cars have! or even a mirrored fade to black B)

Are you doing it your self? Or having a shop install it? i know where i had mine done he held up different shades of tint to see what i liked. To me 20% is perfect, because i like to see where i'm backing up to at night

Looks like it's up to the discretion of the police in Ontario...

Tint Laws

I went with 20% all around the Marauder. 20% on the ZTW front with 15% on the rears.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.
