I have black interior and i feel as though 20% may be to dark but 35% might be too light and a waste of many...any suggestions?

 

20% would be nice. I find that it doesn't actually look that dark, which may save you the tickets. 35% is just too light.

 

I really wanted the 5%....but yeah again with the tickets.....I have 20% right now.....

 

i have black interior and have on all my cars. Always got 20% done. Looks great and its not too dark at all

 

I have 15% but its not much different from 20% so far havnt gotten ticketed after 8 months... looks nice and clean

 

i got 5% back and 20% front... in texas you can do as dark as you want on the back and upto 35% front... i like it alot! and so does the gf

 

Mine are 15% on the sides and rear, and 35% on the windshield. I LOVE it.

 

^^^ wow looks good!!! cant do any tint at all on the windshield here in texas.
how is it driving at night?

 

yeah that 15% looks awsome....i think i'll end up going with the 20%.... thanks alot

 

Haha thanks. Can't do tint on the windshield here in MO either

Driving at night isn't nearly as bad as you might think. It helps GREATLY during the day with glare and sunlight tho. Now that I have had 2 cars with tinted windshields, I will never go back. I squint like crazy when I drive something without it lol.

 

Thanks, no prob.

 

i say 20% on the sides and 35% on the back...that way when cops are behind you they can see the shadows of everyone in the car and will b less inclined to pull u over...

 

I'd go with what L's TL said or 35% all around. You need to remember that Rhode Island's tint laws suck. Basicly u can't have any tint on any window. RI law is 70% tint or more is legal, so basicly nothing. I'd personally stick with 35% all around (which is what i have with a black on black car), especially if u have to get a state inspection anytime soon. Most place will not pass you for state inspection with tinted windows. You either have to get lucky or find a place and hope "greasing the palm" works.

 

my father does inspections so im all set when it comes to that how does the 35 look with the black interior?

 

im all for 15% thats what i got

 

How far down did you go on the windshield. i assume to the AS1 line?

 

He did the entire windshield.

 

 

still looks pretty light

 

35% all around minus windsheild on a sunny day.


at dusk



at night

 

im thinkin 20 on the sides with the 35 on the back sounds reasonable

 

damn i want that 15%
friend of mine had 35% all around and cops wasted him 3x before he had time to remove it. so lame cause so many ricers in the area, so cops are just generally biased and hating, so they will screw anyone out of anything remotely aftermarket

 

I would go with 30% if you feel that 35% will be too light and 20% is gonna be too dark. Then if you want to do the windshield, you could throw 35% on the windshield and your good to go.

 

i have 35% and i still get pulled by the damn state troops but not my local cops<--fukkin weird. 35% is a waste of time tho, im about to go 20% and maybe my windshield as well

 

i have 35% because i live in fuckin VA.... i wanted to go 20 real bad but wasnt worth it, i knew id be pulled over in a heartbeat... 35 looks good tho, im happy..

cloudy day:


dusk:

 

yea thats the only problem...fuckin cops.... if i do the back window and that has to get peeled then its gunna look real shitty because you cant even scrape the shit off unless you want to scrape the rear defrost with it.. happened to a friend of mine now hes got all the glue still on the back window

 

reason i say go with 35% is cause your in RI. I have yet to have issues with cops and my tinted windows. I have even been pulled over for speeding at night by a state cop and he didn't do anything about my tinted windows. Only way out of a ticket for tinted windows is to remove it too.

 

What you think of 5% without a front windshield i"ll be getting it down once the car comes out the shop

 

i love your car man. how is your visibility at night /rain/fog with the front window tinted?

 

ive got 18% all around and i dont hear thing from the sheriffs office

but south florida tends to have weak a police interuption in the tint area =)

 

Thanks man, really its not bad at all. I'm used to it, my last car was the same way. Its a lil more difficult at night if its POURING, but other than that no problem at all. I think it looks a lot more "uniform" and equal when everything is done.

And to all those whining about "what about the cops??" C'mon, seriously. I have had 4 tint tickets in MO, but never once have I even considered changing it. To get a $75 fine here and there to have my windows the way I want them is worth it to me...compared to a speeding ticket (which most of us risk every day) these fines are nothing! And its non-moving!!

 

it brother. i dont let the cops sway me to do or not do a mod on my car

 

every state is different on what they do with tints. RI is not a ticket you can just pay and move on. You must fix it. aka a fix-it ticket. So unless u want to remove your tint and pay the ticket every time u get pulled over for it and then pay to re-tint your windows, go for the darker stuff.

 

ive got 15% and love it. i get lots of compliments on the % and quality. im in socal and havent had a single problem and live next to the 5-0 station but i do have out of state plates soo i think that helps. but like most said depends on ur area.

 

dude is your first name webster or last name my last name is webster

 

this is 20% on a sunny day with black interior.

 

I've got 25% on the back and rear doors and 35% on the front doors. This is legal tint in Georgia. The difference between front and rear doors is mildly noticeable and I'd probably go with 25% all the way around next time. My wife's bmw is 35% all the way around. You can ssee clearly in the windows but it stays cool.

Both cars look absolutely beautiful when all shined up and I'd feel comfortable driving anywhere with this tint.

Night visibility is good. I have darker tint (15% i think) on a Volkswagen and its very hard to see at night. I don't like that at all.

Pics look like other 35%...

 

You must have good luck then. I had my car reg in RI & I was coming up from Bk one day and a RI State Trooper pulled me over because he said he saw my windows were tinted. He gave me a fix-it- ticket, he said the front cannot be tinted, but the rear is fine......Ri sucks!!!

 

Don't know if this is still worthwhile in this thread, but this is my car with 18% tint, which I think is too light:

 

^^^ AAHHH! They tinted around your third brake light! Sry, I can't stand that. So much cleaner if they take it out to do the whole window.
