Well, i never really was into tints, but recently i am feeling like itll improve the look of my grigio car shits. Tints seem like win-win, heat reduction and some cool blackiness on ur windows. Idk what made me change my mind, before i thought they were kind of douchey, but now i see the tinted light.

Not thinking of getting anything more than 35%, possible 50%

5% tint = masturbation privacy

Our cars do not have anymore than the standard light tints that come with the vehicles. We live on the southern coast of NC but really do not think we need them. To each their own. The most we could do would be 32%.

I'm getting my windows tinted soon. Had 15% all around and 30% on front windshield on my old 97' CL. Will probably do the same for my wagon.

i got 5% all the way around thinking about striping it off and going with the clean glass house look but its so damn hot in flordia.

KillerG

KillerG, that is


thank you for your honest opinion. I have been of this school of though as long as ive been driving cars, but recently something ticked and i feel like getting tints. I was hoping to hear from people like you so i could get back into my old train of thought

we can haz before and after pics?

5% seems excessive! can you see at night?


Also, does rear window ghosting happen with ALL tints?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

^depends on the type of tint and how thick the material is.

i opted for the most expensive option, because of the heat reflection.The texas heat aint no joke.
when i first got the car back, I was pissssssssssssssssssssssed that the rear window had a little bit of ghosting...
cant do anything about it, as the tint is to thick and the tinter didnt handle it properly.

Ive also read reviews about Huper Optik tint, and everyone seemed to have ghosting.

yeah you can see fine i always had 5% on all my cars and if you have a light color car looks really good i had the front window tinted 20% and i almost ran a guy over didnt help he was black so i removed it lol

obligatory tint pictures.

KillerG

is ghosting something that makes you consider suicide like a constant CEL or does it eventually stop bothering you?

I have a feeling i would never be able to happy with ghosting

KillerG

again it depends on the type of tint used.
if youre getting the cheapy dyed material. you wont have a problem with ghosting.
dyed tint fades over time.
ceramic and metallic tint remain the same color and is best for heat rejection but also have a chance of ghosting....

at first i was pisssssssssssssssssed. but its just a car. and i got over it. now, you can barely tell that its there unless you look at a certain angle.

KillerG

found these on a gay car enthusiast blog, seems pretty legit:

hornyleprechaun

I honestly wouldn't go lower than 30% on the front.. Was hard to see at night when it rained. Still now that I have better headlights I don't think it'll be as much of a problem.

I'll try to find pics of my old car. And I'll do a before/after of my wagon once it's done.

hornyleprechaun

This was without the front tinted and just the 15% all around.

KillerG

i think its illegal in jersey to do front, im gonna have to skip it, unless i go super light like 50%

doesnt look akward with the front un-tinted right?

^hell yes it looks awkward....

iTrader: (1)

you're better off if you do 35% all around. or 50% all around

KillerG

is that guy wearing skinny jeans?

KillerG

i did say he was gay, right?

hornyleprechaun

No I don't think it looks awkward at all. I just decided to have my front tinted one day. Now I'll have everything tinted, front included, but if you don't want it tinted it won't look bad.

Do 50% in the front if you want, but honestly 30% isn't extremely noticeable.

KillerG

my concern is that if i go 50% or something if its illegal they will just use that as an excuse to ticket me. I am all out of PBA cards

I asked the guy for 35% on the front and rear windows and 20% on the windshield but I think he may have given me 35% front two and 20% on the rest. I was looking out the windows last time and the back two seemed darker than the front passenger one when I looked out. I'll take a picture during the day and at night later. 35% is probably light enough that you don't stand out (to the police). I think 20% is where it gets real noticeable. I still lower my windows when I see popo though...just in case they're feeling tickety...
