Tint?

[TinMan]

Anyone know what level of tint is on the factory windows (front to rear). Anyone found after-market tint film that looks like a good shade/color? I am trying to decide if the rear and sides need to be darker. I usually get cars professionally tinted down to 30-35% light transmission. The liquid platinum is crying out for a nice tint job, but some films have a greenish tinge that I don't want. Just non-reflective metalized tint that is charcoal gray. Any ideas?

Tinted mine to limo grade in all around.
Naturally darker in the back due to the factory stuff.

Got mine front tinted with Medium. It match 99 percent and looks pretty good.
I have good referral if any around OC Cali. They guy has done tinting for celebs etc.

I was wondering the same thing, does anyone know the % on the rears ??? I would like a perfect match.

The rear looks like 40% but not sure. So nobody knows for sure?

I had my 2 front windows tinted to 20% a few days ago. The tint guy told me the back windows were about 25, front 45.

Looking for this info too. It would be nice to get the right % and 'color'.

All I know is I had my front windows done @ 20%, and they are definitely darker than the rear windows--I'm fine with that.

Malmkov,

Pics of Tint

Hi!

I'm new to the Mazda Forum, just got my CX9 and tinted 15% all the way around, I guess making the back 10-5% with the factory tint.

Here are some pics, got her back today (drive)

Now for some new rims! Any suggestions?

What's the word? I would like to get front tint to match the back.

What's the word? I would like to get front tint to match the back.

I had a meter taken to mine and it was 35% according to the tinter.

I hope this helps everyone. Just have your tinter verify.
