How dark would you guess is my window tint?

Lone Patrone · 08-10-2013, 02:35 PM

I bought this car in NY used, and in MD I can't go darker than 35%. How dark would you guess is this tint? I have a black interior and the pics are in full sun.

TIA

That's 5%. That's what I have.

Yea that's darker then 35%, but it looks so good!

Looks great, but you're gonna have to take that off if you want to be legal.

Looks good, definitely a lot darker than 35% but I wouldn't bother removing it. Not sure about over there, but here, Euro's are the last cars coppers will look for defects, so you should be fine!

Definitely way darker than 35%, it's 20% or lower.

I had 20% on my old car and that is a lot darker than 20%. I'd say it's about 10 or less.

I bought a car out of state with limo tint over the whole car. I got pulled over 3x in 4 days because of it.

That looks to be about 5%
