Tint

Getting my windows tinted this weekend. I have a red 8 and want dark windows but not limo tint. I think I had 15% on a previous vehicle that I liked but it was on a black vehicle. What % do you guys reccomend, legality not an issue.

limo is 5%. if you don't want limo, 15% all around sounds like a good number. it'll look clean.

there's too much of a difference between 35 and 20. you should try to keep it even all around since legality isn't in issue. it looks the cleanest. unless vision is gonna be a problem...

I can imagine how strict they are in CA, but here they don't say much. if someone is not sure 35% is nice on the shield aswell

5% is way too dark, you would not be able to see anything through the side windows when turning at night, I have 20% and when the streets aren't lit I can barely see through them

I find my 20% too light. Although i usually lower my front windows at night because i like the breeze and so cops won't see it.
