Post pictures of your tint and percentage!
 

I have an appointment on Thursday to get a tint installed. I am not sure how dark I want to go so pictures would help me make the best decision.

Thanks!!!

15% is pretty dark.

I dont think I would go bellow 20%.

15 is perfect for my color *my opinion*

If you think about it, if you're deciding between 15 and 20, 5% isn't going to make that big of a difference. I would personally go with 15.

Good point.

Dark tint on black looks much different than it does on white.

might change legality if you wanted to be on the safe side though.

haha well like i stated in my pervious post
i got pulled for them.. i was not speeding nor i violated any traffic laws
the cop pulled me over and said. sir i am pulling you for your tint and your front plate.
o.O i know.. what the hell?
that time i was in Walnut, CA. ironically, all of my friends had 15 all tint too. and they didnt have any troubles with authorities... and yes they all have nice cars too
. just remember... a few of the mods that are pure sex.. are illegal....

I got 15% on my bb I will post pics when I get home! I love it! It is a little dark at night when backing out in pich black places and driving in the country with no light but other then that it is amazing! I have had a lot of compliments on mine! Got pulled over for sound ordanace and the cop didnt mention anything about the tint he just said nice car :)

20% on the rear three windows, 25% on the fronts. and all illegal in GA. I have not been pulled for it, and did not get an extra citation for it when I got nicked for something else. :dunno:

i have pics of mine in my vbGarage if you click it in my sig. 35% sides, 20% rear on a NG.

tangent alert...CTrx8, how do you still have a vb garage?

you do too. i just dropped mine in my sig since it's a pain to get to people's if you're looking for it.

it is obviously a pain, i thought they were gone, and mine is...well...outdated.

I have 20% on all three rear windows and 35% on the front too. I also had the Brow done in 20%. I will have to get some photos of it one day.

i opted out of the front windscreen getting any tint, I am 6'-1", and that tint bar ends up being right in my field of vision, and it bugs the crap out of me.

16% Metallic

5% rear window and back door windows, 35% doors, 50% windsheild

I like my tint its not too dark... Really in direct sunlight you can see in and I never have any problems seeing out.

mine is almost limo i bought the car like that not sure what the percentage is but i have not been busted for it and i been pulled over plenty of times so im good

i have 20 percent, and wish i had gone 15. if youre unsure, go darker. my opinion.

Ok heres mine 15% all around except the windshield. It is way darker then legal here in Indiana and haven't had any problems with it and believe me I'm not even close to being liked by the cops around here...:naughty:

I was under the impression my choices were 35%, 20% or 5%.

Some of you have 28%, 16%... WTF?

yah i was thinking wtf when i saw 28% 16% to! To my knowledge it goes in intervals of 5's but what do i know lol

^Yeah i bought mine with the tint already on it. and the guy who did the inspection today said i had 28% tint. i thought i had 30 or 35. so idk whats going on.

Hmm.. if thats the case, I might go with 25% then.

dude i just looked up CA tint law http://www.tintdude.com/laws.html there it is btw but OMG CA has only 70% front windows? BS ill probly go 30% all round.

how often do you get caught for tinting the front windshield? is it illegal to tint the front at all?

As for as I know tinting the front windshield is illegal everywhere in the USA. You might be able to get away with a really low amount of tint but I wouldnt risk it if I were you.

5% rear window and rear doors, 15% front doors.

hmm damn no front window then i guess

15% rear, 30% front
Wanted to stay legal in Florida
FormulaOne Performance Automotive Film(Pinnacle Series)

wth 35% is legal?
must move to flordia dammit...

Well...I made a mistake and I actually have 30% in the front, so I had to go change that post!
You know that 30% is actually lighter than 15% right? It's a measure of how much light gets through, not what it blocks. 30% is not that dark.

Oh, and as far as windshield? Here you can have a 5inch strip at 30% I'm prettty sure, but I wasn't going to do that!

35% is the legal limit in ontario.....I have 20% all around......will post pics in the am. I would NOT recomend anything less than 15%, especially in the rear as I don't care what anybody says....you wont be able to see shit....then it becomes a safety issue by itself. I am only saying this becasue I am a police officer and could pull you over if I thought your tinting was too dark......rear not such a big deal in the laws eyes but driver and passenger windows are. Anybody who has the ricey half metallic tinting shit is done for if I see them in ontario.....I hate that shit.

haha =P when you said ontario i thought you meant socal... where i live haha.
yeah i want it dark to look good but not to the point where its like solid black
someone needs 0% tint LOL

hahaha.....0% would be awesome.......would almost pay money to see that.

I got 25% all around, then a 5% layer on top of that. I used my friend's tint messure thing since he's a inspector and it said that it was 2%. We ride dirty in texas

better pics coming soon

15 all around ftw
at least for brilliant blacks

Damn.....it must be dark in there!

haha speaking of riding dirty in texas..
i have my car layered with 5% tint front and back

It all depends on the brand and material. There are metalic and non-metalic tints, including ceramic which does not interfer with satelite or antenna reception. Limo tint is usually 5% and you can get it with a mirror finish or black. Colors are also available. The cheaper tints usually stick to the common numbers of 70, 50, 35, 20, and 5 %. 3M tint and Formula One tint have variable tint percentages based on the material used. You may notice the cheaper tints have a purpleish color to them, then an upgrade may be brownish, an upgrade from that would be gray or metalic looking. But this still varies by brand and material.

It also depends on what state you are in to what is legal. I like Nevada and Texas that allows for all windows to be tinted. But of course I live in California. We can paint the rear three windows black, as long as you have two outside mirrors. 70% on the passenger and drivers window and a 6" strip on the windshield. I have 18% on the rear three and the windshield strip, and 70% on the two doors.

I got the 3 windows in the back limo and the front windows med. i would have gone darker but didnt wanna get stopped but it's pretty dark still so im good oh and i got a limo visor too.oh and my friend has his tint layered too it looks as if he just pained the window black u cant see anything!
