Windows Tint

leesat · 06-27-2011, 04:55 AM

always do darker on the back windshield.

Why? I think it looks lame with a BLACK rear window and lighter other windows. Just do the same % sides and rear

I guess I'm in the minority here. Mine are 15%. That was the next darkest offered from legal which is 35% here. The 15% is pretty dark but I had 35% on my last car and nobody even knew it was tinted.

Methinks you either had some shit tint, or everyone that said that was retarded

35% is a definate difference from how your windows look stock. Think bout it, stock windows let about 75-80% light through, if not more. Theres a def difference. That and most tints add much nicer UV and heat blocking protection

5%. All the way around

on AW. hehe I love it!

legal limit here is 35% on the front glass... I went with 18% all around and love it. Dark, but not crazy. Cops need to be either really bored, or dicks, to pull you over for it.

...

Then WHY go so dark???

Honestly, not trying to be a dick, but are you guys just ignorant? Stupid? Intentionally egging on the system??

Go with the legal limit, like mine will be 35%, which i feel is plenty dark while not messing with nighttime visibility, and i wont get pulled over ffs..
