i had 5% all around my car and with crank windows, it was a total pain in the *** to see at night but still loved it.

I have 5% and i hate it. Cant see **** at night. The side windows are nice but the back window in 5% is just way to dark. Id do 30-35% all the way around if i were to do it again.

Could someone with 30-35% take a picture of each side window and rear window just to see it, I dont think I would get anything darker than that, becuase like what people have been saying, its a bitch to see anything at night. As for the one guy with the double tinted 5% and bullcrap...why? haha

I have 5% on my white Eclipse, But I was young when I made that decision. On my SS I did 20% not to dark and not to light, You can actualy just see a outline of the person inside the vehicle.

20 is a pretty good middle, maybe 15 if you can get it.

5 sure looks awesome, but night driving would be misrable.

the car for sale in my sig has 35% tint. For NJ i would go with this. you can leave your t top shades out and its hard to tell the car has tint. I drive with the windows down most of the time and really only have the tint for parking outside in the summer.

Thanks for the pics, guys.
How I felt coming into this thread was "either 20% or 35%."
Nothing's changed so far, though


keep 'em coming if you got 'em.


*edit*
Special thanks to all the guys who posted "side shots." Angled pics are uh... "misleading."

this is the best pic i have of mine (sorry its not black) i have 5% all around i love the look of it but it sucks for night time driving be ready to put your window down or get out to check behind you when you back up with 5%. so far i have been lucky and have never been pulled over in.

mine is 20% on the back and 35% on the sides IIRC (whatever was the darkest allowed in FL when i had it done in 2004) my t-tops are tinted to 5% though which is nice because you can still see out the tops in the daytime and at night when they are in, but they keep the heat/sun out when the car is parked somewhere.

I have 20% on the sides, rear, and tops but not many good pics. By far one of the best exterior mods you can do!

13% all the way around. It's semi hard to see when backing up at night but you can still see. Tint makes a worlds difference...

by far, my tint is probably one of my favorite mods if you'd even call it that.
looks really good, and it's effective.


within the first week of purchasing my z it got tinted.

to all you girls complaining about having 5%... Lol... it's not that bad unless youre backing up. Thats the only time I am unhappy... but then I just open the hatch if it's THAT bad... Problem solved.

5% front, 0.75% rear





and the f-body.... it's half black. 13% front windows, 5% rear
