What Tint Level to Get

[gazix]

These are 50% and 35% tint samples.

Here are the pics (from crap cell phone). C = Charcoal (Lumix) vs Smoke (Solargard). Thought the brown chair in the background might be helpful


Going to tape them onto my windows some time in the next few days. If anyone wants me to post the pics, just let me know.

Still not sure if I want to get it done or not. Guess I'll see what the samples look like on my car. I did see my colour/model of car at 20% all around, and damn does that look good. Although really don't want to take the chance of tickets and not being able to see properly at night

I got mine done the 2nd day i owned the car, and i love it! will never not have tint. I'm in michigan and havn't had any issues with it, maybe it helps that i'm in the law enforcement field!

I ended up getting the legal limit in MD, 35%. It looks nice enough, and I think its still light enough it should be fine at night. The installer had a display of tint levels, and I was amazed at PA's limit, 70%. I wouldn't even bother to get a car tinted that level! It didn't look like there was anything on the windows.

PA doesn't have a 70% limit, or any other limit for that matter. The Law is that a person has to be able to see inside the vehicle through the windshield, side wing, or side windows. The 70% thing comes from various safety bulletins published by the Police, which are not Laws.

Does being in law enforcement somehow make the law not apply to you? Just curious...

I have 30% all around but since my interior is black it makes the the tint look darker. This is the closest pic I could find which shows my windows.

I got 5% here in FL, i drive around cops all day, in your states if they pull you over for that, then they are BORED!

Heres a pic i took today

i live in MA and i have 17% on mine. the only downfall is backing up at night... I have to roll down both my windows to back up at night to see my mirrors. it looks sick and if you know someone who does inspection stickers, theyll prob over look it =]
