Default Tint Tomorrow

Getting the car tinted tomorrow...

Colorado laws are 30% for the front windows

I am split between 20% or 30%. Or doing the front two windows 30% and the back windows 20%...not sure how it would look on a white car.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I actually just got mine done on the Shelby a couple of days ago.
I have the EXACT tint specs.

My car is black and it looks really dark. White will also make it look dark due to the contrasting colors.
Dont roll down your windows for 24hrs. That's the only thing you need to be aware of really.

I would highly suggest mile high window tint and clear bra. Tell him dan Malmgren sent you. He gives lifetime warranties and only uses 3m tint. I did 15 percent on mine all the way around. Colorado isn't too strict on the tint law.

I wouldn't worry about the law. I am not sure about how strict it is in Colorado but I know plenty of people with ridiculous tint (5%!!) here in Ohio that generally have no problems.

i heard Mile High is out of business...I am going with ADT. Getting the whole car done for $175 for the 20% or 30% for $150.

Did they move or something? I was recommended to them but I can't find them now

i was debating splitting my tint also but i decided against it. i think it is fine aslong as you have a big car (4 door) but on such a small car i think it would look silly because of the big front windows and small rear windows.

Heres my mustang with 15%




when i eventually get my new mustang i will be tinting her within the first month probably 15% all round

I would go with the 30%, some places can be pretty strict on the laws and its really not gonna be a huge difference. Mine are 35% and look pretty dark at times. Granted darker is pretty cool on most cars

I went with 35% the first time and honestly hated it!!! There is not point in getting tints if you can still see right through it. IMHO go dark or dont even bother spending the money. If you dont want to consider 5% I would go with the 20%. You will be disappointed with anything lighter

Same here with me being in NY. Any tint here is illegal but I roll down both windows or just throw on the interior lights
