Tim Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 What do the tints look like on a rainy day? Even the 35% one looks a little much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Tegeler Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have 30% on my front 2 windows and no tint on teh windshield. On a rainy day the windshield would be bad news to ahev tinted I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PedalMINI Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 this is a horrible depiction of tint percentage. Wayyy off and the 5% being totally black is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerdan11 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Just go with what is Legal in your State. Trust me its more of a PITA than its worth to go darker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya that pic you just sent me of 5% looking out is pretty crazy. That % scale is a little off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateGoat Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Just go with what is Legal in your State. Trust me its more of a PITA than its worth to go darker +1, keep it legal. It sucks to worry everytime you drive by a cop if they are going to pull you over or not just because your tint is illegal. I have 35% on my GTO, which is the legal limit in NC(where I lived when the car got tinted.), and 20% on my Camaro. I got pulled over and got a ticket in my Camaro for having illegal tint.

bigaudiofanatic Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well than I am going to be illegal, as I have already decided to tint the fronts. If I get pulled over twice I will either lighten the tint or remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PedalMINI Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Here is 5% looking out on a sunny day. Rainy days make ZERO difference. Its a bit dark at night but i can see through it fine. Ill snap some pics of 3 1/2 percent on the workvan, and 20% on my dads Audi at dusk and at night later tonight. I am really tempted to layer the 5% with another 15% to bring it down to 3 1/2 % and tint the windshield 35%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have 20% and have had no problems so far....now watch me get a ticket on my way home today. I like the look too, not too dark and not too light. I like the look of 20%, seems the closest match to stock tint on my Jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FAST SS Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I like 35% personally. I have a blank interior so it helps darken the windows slightly.imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kornercarver Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have 35% tint on my car. It is the legal minimum and I think it looks pretty good. I don't see any reason to get hassled by the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipolley Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Remember you still have to look out this window at night. If you are going to tint it (which I do not reomend) go with the lowest possible. Your state may not even allow tinting of the front window, so make sure you do your research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckkilo3 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 35% on the sides and 20% on the rear window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganSRT8 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Id say go 20% all around, please match them up, if your gunna be illegal (like the no tint law in michigan), then make is look good at least. And if you get pulled over just roll them down, not to hide them, ,but just to reassure the officer of his safety. that said here a few pics. Thats 20% around, nothing on the windshield but im getting 50% soon probably. As you can see in different lights it looks all different, from looking like little tint to being almost black. Anything darker than 20% is a little much and its gunna be asking for attention from cops, most cops i have came across tolerate 20% or lighter. You can always layer on top too, going too light is good, easier to fix then going too dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDM Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I got 20% as well. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk Just curious, and I apologize if this is off topic, but as a cop how do you feel about the tint laws that are out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1inblue Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Some laws I think are suitable as those in NC but some are just overly picky. 35% seems to be nicest looking and the safest for law enforcement. As Josh said roll them down and just be curiosity if you go illegal. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigaudiofanatic Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Looking more and more likely that I will do 20%....I know 3pedalmini makes your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
