Question Lightest tint?

What's the lightest tint you can get without it being pointless to put on?

It's illegal to do side windows here, but I just want to do something to get the cooling effect

the lightest I've seen is 50%. I'd stop by your local shop to find out if they have anything lower than that.

Im wanting tints too on my black TA, however worried i'll get cops to stop me, so 42% is that dark enough for people not to see you, but cops wont bother? The back i'll do the same tint as the T-tops but I have to find someone with a specially ordered size so i don't get a line down the middle of my back window.

i have 20% in the back no problem with that, and 42% isnt all that great, but the cops wont bother you either, on a overcasted day they wont be able to see in, but if the sun is out they will be able to see in, its only 42%

Some shops can get clear tint. It blocks the UVs that kill the interior. That may be too "light" for you.
