Default Pics of Window Tints...

If you got 20% ; 15% or 5% please post pics.

Im getting mine done tomorrow and still having a hard time deciding. don't want to blind at night... people tell me to 15%. not too dark and keeps heat out enough.

If you want something not too dark but still darker than 20% Put 20% on the 2 front doors and then 5% on the back. Thats what ive done sometimes when ive tinted cars at work.

i have 18% on the sides and rear. it looks good, but i sometimes wish it was just a little darker. i don't like being able to see into the car from any angle at any time of the day, and every once in awhile you can with 18%. if i could have it how i want, i'd have 10% maybe

Legal limits if you want to be on the safe side.

in Miami cops don't really care. they're too busy doing other things. i have many friends with 5% or 15%... so that isn't one of my main concerns. I just want to be able to see somewhat out at night. lol.

20% is perfect for the side windows, and i have 5% on the rear, its kinda hard to see out of at night, and nearly impossible in the rain. The 20% on the sides don't decrease visibility by much, but during the day its kinda hard to see in the car....

Thats cool I just wanted to let you know. I live in Miami as well. I got pulled over in my Rodeo and checked for tint. It just depends on how they feel. Everything was legal but he was just looking for a reason.
Anyway the rear windows were 18% I think and it was tough backing up at night. It becomes more of a pain than anything else.

This is 15% platinum tint (almost like a mirrored finish). I have it all the way around.





This is actually my buddy's car but he has the exact same tint
