    Ok, so tomorrow i am going to go get my windows tinted, but i dont know how dark to go. i want it to be pretty dark, but i still want to be able to see out of it at night, and not get stopped by every cop that sees me either. i was thinking 20% all the way around, or 35% front two, 20% back, or 5% back and 35% front. Need help! pics would be helpful too! my car is redfire matallic, if that helps any.

    I would suggest 15% (if available) ..

    I got 5% in my rears and it's pretty hard to see out of night, I mean it's manageable but I don't think I would do it again..

    20%'s are on the front windows of mine, and I think they're a bit too light. The place I went too only had 5, 20, 35, and 50%.. try and find one with 15% and do that all around.


    oh yea, I have pictures of my tint:




    aren't redfire metallic GPs just the sweetest thing ever

    I think 15% would be so perfect. but the 20% isn't bad. It should look awesome, post some pics when you get them done!

    What are the chances of having another member with the same color car and same tint options lol

    You also have to take into account because different colors effect the tint effect. I would say 20% depending on your local state law.

    I would suggest 20 all around. If your interior is dark it will make tint look darker aswell so take that into consideration. I have 5% all around and 20 on whole front windshield. But really sucks at night and in rain.

    its a legal issue.. depends if you want to get in trouble or not. the perfect tint is 15% all around. i did 35% to stay away from the cops. but still looks good.

    I'm from NY and anything over 70% is illegal!!! LOL Dont move here FYI. I got 35% and haven't gotten pulled over yet. I live in TN now and the tint laws are 35%. Check the laws if you dont wanna have to worry.
