Well... One of the only quality tint shops around here only does 5% and 20% tints... I was hoping to do 10%-15% But.... I cant. So, I'd like to see what 20% looks like so I can decide if I want it or not... Thanks in advance.

 

Think about it like this...0% tint lets in NO light and 100% lets in all light. So 5% is gonna be REALLY dark, and it's also illegal to have on your front window. Even 10-15 is really dark and in most states i'm pretty sure that's illegal too.

Here's a little site to see how some tints look (courstest of Honuh Chicken)

Damn... 20% looks awfully light... What percent do suv's have? Like explorer's and ****?

 

Ehh that site isn't very good to judge...sorry bout that..

But i'm lookin at a list here, and it says the legal limit to tint of the front windows in GA is only 32%.

Damn..even if you're most likely gonna get bothered by cops??

 

20% doesnt seem too dark according to that website. And I figure as long as I'm on par with the tint suv's have.... I'll be alright?

 

Most SUVs have the legal limit. I doubt any cars are comming from the factory with illegal tint. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't make sense. And 20% tint is pretty dark. BTW, 35 is REALLLLY light...

Here is a pic of someone with 25 on the front, 15 in the back: (Jon like whoa's car)



Here's 35 (sorry don't know who the owner is, pm me i'll take it down):

 

I have 27% and it's PERFECT AND legal!



/\ daylight

\/ night time

 

Damn... 25% on that lude looks good... I'll see if this shop does 25%... If they do.. I'll see if I can get 25% front and 20% rear. I don't wanna be able to tell too much of a difference between the front and rear. Thanks for the input so far.

 

I would be sure to check your local laws so you don't have fix it tickets and have to de-tint your car .

Hehe.... I don't think I'll get bother for being 7% under... right? lol

 

20% all around, no sunstrip

 

yo 20% is the color you see on most of the back of suvs and minivans. It is still pretty dark. 20%front 5% back. Looking at the car it is hard to make out who is inside. Definately check your tint laws. Most states outlaw mirror tint, and allow a certain percentage of tint up front. If you go to a tintshop they will tell you what is legal and whats not.

 

in cali is 20% all around (excluding windshield of course) legal?

 

does anyone know the law in ca?

I got 20 all around and its perfect.

 

You cannot see thru 5% at all even during the brightest of days, it's horrible at night too.

15% is perfect, its pretty dark and..close to legal

 

I ended up getting 20% all around... I've had it for months now and havent been bothered yet(knock on wood).

 

no tint is best.

 

^Everybody has an opinion.
