Tint is a great appearance mod...Legal in MN is 50% all around (which is not dark at all) so I went with 35% all around and on a white car it looks great and is plenty dark for me plus I haven't been pulled over yet. Go at least 35% or darker or dont even waste your money.

 

Tint is a must! My roomate just got his done yesterday and it changed the entire car. Looks Great!! I never really noticed how much better it made the car look until I saw his untinted and then tinted.

 

i say the darker the better. do it.

 

I got 35 and that is the darkest you can get in Indiana. I like it but I wish I would have gone darker.

 

clear windows look like someone got lazy and didnt finish the job!

 

My rear and sides are 35% that's how I bought it. I only had my entire front windshield tinted 50%, but im going to take off the sides and rear and replace with 5% in the summer, cause there purple and too light for my taste. All my cars have 4 sided tint and I love, I can drive towards the sun at anytime without hesitation.
The only thing that sucks is if im driving when im drinking I have to worry about the window's.

 

how does one tint a windshield? like, in Ny its like trying to get a shop to "put a sticker in your windshield and skip the sniffer" These guys wont touch my windshield. They say its a def citation.

 

[QUOTE=SS4Matt]Tint is a must
Limo is 1%-5% depending on the shop and what film they use, basically used to name the darkest tint carried at whatever location (5% is limo at my work) shades/color of tint vary from different brands of tint, and different product lines of tint.
5% on my hatch, 15% on my sides, 35% on the windshield...yeah it's dark
5% on hatch and sides on my friends formy



That camaro looks absolutely awesome, what a car.

 

That it will save your interior!!!!!!!

 

Me.

Tint looks nice, but no tint = much less attention from cops.

 

in new york, LEGAL is 70% front and sides.... which i think is bull.....any body from ny know how often cops actually stop for tints? cause if i get them, i dont want 70%!

 

Here in cali, 70% is the max too...
I have 70% on my suv and I got a ticket for them, and 70% is CLEAR.

 

Man, I don't know how you guys with the limo tint drive your cars at night. I had 20% on my truck in college and could not see a dam thing out the windows at night. Turning corners involved leaning forward to look around the A-pillar. I now have 35% on the Camaro and that is difficult in the dark. I almost backed into my friends car once because I could not see it out the window! I am all about making a car look good, but if it impacts functionality is has absolutely no use to me. And personally I think a tinted windshield and super dark sides kill any realistic functionality. I don't know how you guys do it, but just wanted other to keep that in mind with these mods. I got the tint because I was tired of the hot interior in the summer and it makes the car look nice, but as I said, I did not want to go too dark as I drive it all the time.

 

do they check your tint during inspections... or do cops only check it if they think it's too dark?

 

i have 5% all the way around. it is hard to see out of them @ night, but its cool, i'll just roll the window down for hard to see things

 

I have 15% in the back, 35% sides.. MI sucks on side tint.. but oh well. Yeah, definetly need to tint windows. No tint = ugly. Pic is in my sig.

 

Yep, CA cops are really strict about this stuff. I personally think it's idiotic, at least allow us to have 50% on the sides to keep the sun out.

 

Hugger z,
I can see clearly out my front windshield at night and very rarely do I have trouble with my sides. Just wanted to say I understand what you mean, it's better to be safe than look cool. And if this were to cause harm to anybody or myself I would not have this done.

 

5% looks so sexy I'll probably end up redoing mine sometime..I don't want to get pulled over by the fuzz though
What are you guys ending up paying for tints?

 

the policy of just doing it then showing up at home with the tint on there would solve the parent problem. as for preference on it...i like it a lot on colored cars but im not a fan of a super dark tint on a white car. my truck i have 17% on it and it looks awesome, but if my car had it, i think it would look trashy. if your car is white, go with a light tint, like a 30 or a 35 aka 27 or 32. if your car has color to it, go 17% aka 20 percent. there is no reason to go darker than 17/20. it makes a bitch of using mirrors with back up lights, but its not that bad. if you went down any darker than that, you couldnt see ****.
