Default Black, Tinted F-Bodies

Trying to decide what percent to tint my Black T/A here in NJ.

Post pics of your black f-body with window tint!

This is the best pic I have of my car when I had 20%. I am thinking of doing 5 next time.




Sorry my car is not black.

But if it was I would totaly do 5% all the way around.

It just sucks that it is not really legal.

30-35% i think. I wish it were a lot darker, but the cops are cracking down in Louisiana on tinting.

I would go 5% if this weren't my DD. If you can't see, just roll down your windows. Only sucks at night when its raining.

Heres a video on youtube of my 99 Firebird with 20% all the way around. That is the rear, and two side windows. Nothing on the windsheild.

When I had it done I told the guy just to match the T-tops the best he could. I think it turned out really nice. I've been pulled over once for it. I guess here in Iowa you can go like 70% and thats it. Whatever...

I'm not black, im NBM. I got 18% on sides and 15% on rear hatch.



I would go 5% but if its night time and raining your fucked and really taking a chance being on the road.. If I lived in some place like say Nevada where it doesn't rain much and its always hot and sunny then I would def. get 5%.
