It is 5% into the not legal. Legal is 25% you can still see somebody through the sides. With the small car and the dark interior makes the tint seems darker than it is
I went to a local guy that my buddy recommended and he did a great job!!! He only charged me $150. He used the metalized 3m tint that is suppose to be alittle better

Modding Addition
When I got my 03 Cooper S last year with 67k on the odometer (think it was a steal at $9500 - Indi Blue fully loaded with exception of nav and sunroof) it already had these mods:
JCW front brakes
JCW exhaust
Dinan intake, fuel pump, and bored out throttle body, Stage 5 software
In the first couple of months, having taken the car on the track at High Plains Raceway (great track!), the bug bit and last spring/summer added:
KW Variant 3 coilovers
Vorschlag camber plates
H&R 19mm rear sway bar
H-sport rear camber links
M7 anti-mushrooming plates for front strut towers
Schroth Quick Fit harnesses, driver and front passenger (these are fantastic)
When the JCW red calipers started to turn black from heat, it was time to remove them and add:
Wilwood 12.2" BBK (use Poly B pads at the track when running down 911s and M3s; WRX STIs and 370zs stand no chance!) Run Stoptech Street Performance pads in the rear, great balance with the Wilwoods up front.
16" OZ Ultraleggera Wheels with Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (best track tire out there short of race rubber)
Spring project with be to install Sneed's Speed Shop front brake ducts (sitting in garage), requires removal of front fog lights.
What should I do next? Thoughts anyone?
