Rear side and rear can come with a tint from factory, varies by model (annd probably market) I've had this option on four cars.

They look terrible without a (rear) tint. Wonder why they do that? |

Tint is not an option in the US. US models ship with no tint.
I got 20% and love it. We have a 35 limit in Illinois but it’s pretty much never enforced. Same thing with front plate |

better use a machine to check before you apply them. there might still be a small percentage just from the window being a solid object light needs to pass through.
I failed the ny annual inspection just by being 2% below and the shop is going by the books. which brought me a lot of trouble and parking tickets. |

I have never really gotten harassed as cops have better things to do. In the suburbs and central IL I had to bs my way out a bit though. To be honest I would go with 25-30% these days as 18% is quite dark at night and 25-30% is closer to the real legal limit. If you have two illegal things on your car you're more likely to get a ticket, so I'd rather just go no front and moderate tint. |

I think that is crazy that the cars don’t come with tint even as an option in the US, but I guess that’s down to different states and different regulations.
You have those horrible side reflectors and also the orange side light in the headlight as well. We may have front plates in the UK damn i don’t know if I’d make that trade for no front plate. |

20% looks great . But I've had 20% on vehicles and I didn't really like night time driving in low light conditions
Maybe it was cheap tint which led to poor visibility This time around i will likely go for 25% |
