Yep.. 20% is the magic number.

ORIGINAL: raubt

Two things:

#1: moleskin (even if your tint place fixes scratched tint for free, how much time do you want to spend in that place?)

#2: 20% (you'll probably be fine depending on your local police, but even if they're crazy about that, what are a few tint tickets?)

roll the windows down and pull the fuse.

It really depends on where you live. Here in Texas DFW cops will not stop you but good luck on getting it inspected. They did check mine and it did not pass so I had to get it retinted

i got 5% but ive only got one ticket for it, lol dont get 5 you cant barely see out the windows at night lol

Edit: i live in dallas texas so yeah
I had 15% on my last stang and I couldnt see ****! I had to setick my head out of the window everytime I backed up at night! I'm thinking 20% is still a little too dark. I dont see why anyone would want 5% [sm=shades.gif]

Are you Ray Charles? I can see fine at night, sure it's harder but I can still see. I live in Florida, having a Black on Black car, you need 5%. I'm still debating on pulling the trigger on doing my windsheild 55%.

You must be bragging or your tint guy is lying to you. 5% at night the only thing you'd be able to see are any lights that are behing you.

Yup, I'm bragging. Have you ever had 5%? I've had it on all of my vehicles and like I said I have no problem seeing and backing up at night. I will admit sometimes at night going around a sharp corner in a residential area, I will roll down the window down just to be sure. But, it's not as bad as you make it out to be.

5% all around would be too dark and a cop magnet. If the cops can see a contrast between the back and the front, then that is at least an indicator to them that you might be trying to keep it legal. Like I said, I am currently 35%, 5% and am changing the front to 20%

that "cop magnet" statement is completely false. I've had 5% all around on all my cars and never once been hassled about it.

I wish i had a pic to show you but i got 5% on the rear and 2 little side windows and 15 on the drive and passenger side windows. Does any1 ever get the tint strip on the front window anymore?
