Tint front door windows?

I've got a black mica 2002 P5 and I'm ready to tint. I'm going with the darkest that I can legally go, but can't decide whether to tint the front door windows or not. Please tell me what you think.

THX!

I have a Laser Blue 03 P5, and am getting my windows tinted in about two weeks......I am probably going to go with 45% up front and 25-30% in the 4 rear windows and on the back glass.....since yours is black, you may want to go with almost a reflective tint....those look PHAT, and black on black may just be too much.

I've never liked the look of differently tinted windows along the side of a vehicle. IMO - tint them all (the same % please!) or don't tint them at all.

TINT THEM ALL....

in most states its allowable to tint the rear windows darker than the fronts......MY opinion and suggestion....tint your windows as dark as the law allows in your area.....

The legal limit here is 35%. I'm thinking I'll do that all around.

if Va the darkest we can tint the front is 50% and the rear 35%. Since I'm not going for the mis-match tints. I'm tinting my windows 35% all around. **** V.A

Same thing pretty much goes in So Cal, but I've got my windows tinted at 5% all around. Yes it is tricky at night, but I'm already used to it. Yes I get pulled over for it, but I just give the judge a doctors note saying that I have a skin disorder and it's all good. I didn't even know I could do that until a cop pulled me over and suggested it!

I tinted mine all 20%, I realize this may not be legal in some states, but I wanted to go as dark as I could find on all my windows. That is the darkest that I could get the shop to tint my front door windows, so I tinted them all that color. Kepp 'em all the same %, it looks a lot better that way. If not, then please tint the front to some extent. I am just not a fan of clear windows at all. I like the whole privacy thing!!!! Hehe!
