35% including w/s. 20%rw. The only way to go. clean, not to ricey. And tinting windows is not hard.

The purple tint you see around is like 10 yrs. old. Since then they have changed the dyes in it and now all tint will never turn purple.

But dont you think 35% all around but 20% on the rear window is kinda weird looking. Cant you tell the difference between tint darkness??

 

I have 5% all around. I had 35% and 20% on my last car and wished I had gone darker. My car is black with charcoal leather interior so that is part reason for the 5% tint, you would be amazed and how much cooler it keeps the interior. Also the windshield 6 inch tint on the top looks lame. I always see ricers with it but no domestics around here and I hope it stays that way. 5% doesnt look ricey either like that other dude said. Not trying to start anything its just personal opinions. I have had many comments from a wide variety of people on my car and they have always said something good about my tint and said that they wished they had it. Its up to you what you do but I think that if you only get 35% you may regret spending the money for how little it tints it. On the other hand you may really like the not so dark look but once again its just personal opinions. I think that black cars look really good with dark windows so I went all the way. There is my 2 cents again and just do what you think will be the best.

 

Well all i could consider is 35 or 20% tint, because in VA 5% is way too dark! But thanks for the input!

 

No problem for the input. Im sure 35 or 20 would look good on your car. I am just a fan of darker tint and think you should go with the 20. Completely up to you. There is a website that allows you to look at what a car would look like with different %'s of tint. I will try and find the site and post it on here if you want it.

 

aight koo i want to see that link!!!

 

I've got 30% on the sides and 15% on the back. You definately should go darker than 35% on the back window. Cops have a way to measure your tint on the side windows, but they can't measure the tint on your back window, so tint to your heart's content. For the side windows, they make you roll you window part way down, and then they slide a meter over the top of the glass that can detect how much light can pass through. They obviously can't use this method on the back window (or back seat windows since they don't roll down), so don't worry about the legal limits on those ones. You'll like the darker rear window on hot days! Not to mention it looks very sweet...

 

Thats a good poiint, i might go with 20% on the rear and see how dark it is when i go to the shop next week!!!

 

Here you go... http://www.autowindowtintings.com/tintDemo.ihtml ...not the best but it gives you an idea.

 

I just dont see the reason why to risk gettin a ticket, if VA only allows 35% tint!!!
