5% and I can see fine. Invest in driving glasses.

When they do your back window make sure they spray the top where the dots are, they did it on mine and it looks great. And i can see through my 5% from the outside so its really not bad, if you want dark go 2, I have 15 on my trucks front windows and its not dark at all but i think it reduces the risk of getting pulled compared to 5..

Thanks for the tip about the rear hatch tint. I may just end up getting 5% because 15% is just as illegal as 5% in NY.

I had my windows tinted in my T/A not too long ago and my tint was the film on the back. Everything is stuck to the window but I guess it's just the texture of the dots that prevents it from laying completely flat and makes the tint funny looking at the top. Oh...I dunno how cops are where you guys live at...but here in VA. the state law for cars is like 50% on the sides and 35% on the back...and there are plenty of cops who will pull for tint around here...

5% on the back, 20% on the fronts.




Sorry about the pic. Hard to see the tint in most pics as the reflection bounces off it pretty sharp.

NYS VTL limit for tint is 70% not 35% but it's only for the drivers and passengers side front windows. The rest you can do whatever you want to.

BTW, mine is straight mirror tint front and rear....so sick. Can't see **** at night though!

question, how would you go about taking the tint off? i'm wanting to get the rear redone, and wanted to save alittle money by taking it off. also for the rear matrix, do you think it could be razer'd off with a razor blade?

Going to call the tint shop this week to get a quote for the side windows and possibly re-doing the rear if they can do it right.

In Ohio legal is 50% on the sides and back. The front windshied cannot be tinted at all, but the strip can be as dark as wanted, as long as it dont come below the "line" that is etched on every windshield (drivers side).
