So, I have been all over this web site and I have seen a few pics of tint, but I want to know what percent everyone is tinting there G8's . I had mine done in Southern California with 50% front windows and back windows 20%. I know it is illegal to tint front windows and I am hoping 50% in front won't stand out too bad.

Just reminds me of one of many reasons I no longer live in Cali. I got 20% (I think its 20, its real dark but one step below limo black) all around, its a tad over legal but highly unlikely to be an issue. Had same on my last car, got stopped a few times, never mentioned.

Here's mine using 3M tint. 20% in the rear, 70% up front. CA law says no tints on the fronts, so call me a rebel. lol

Will tinting badly interfere with radar detector performance?

This is my pic from Tirerack. It's 20 percent.
I had 35 percent on my G6 in Calif and never had a problem.
