Front windshield is untinted. My front driver window and passenger window are 35%. If you LED'd your interior, when I press the unlock button at night, it doesn't even look like I have tints cuz the interior is SO bright. I'll take pics and post it to show you later.

Are you doing legal on the rest of the windows? If not then who cares what you put on the front because AFAIK any tint on the entire front windshield is illegal.

Plus 50% on the front won't get you pulled over IMO.. 30% wasn't extremely noticeable so 50% won't be a problem.

I misread the thread title and was expecting lots of NSFW pictures.

A bit disappointed now.


As for me, I got 50% ceramic tint on everything but the windshield.

Tell the tint guy to cover the third brake light otherwise they will go around it (unless you want it exposed so it is brighter).

35% is a nice choice

Do 35% all around & 50% windshield. You won't notice any uniformity differences.

In NY, legal tint limit is 70% which is pointless cuz that doesn't cover anything. Anything over 50% is pretty much almost like having no tint at all. 35% is good enough so that at night, you can only see shadows. And day time its visible but not too bad when looking in.

If you do the front windshield at all, that would be illegal but unless its super dark, police probably won't notice. What part of NY are you in Killer? I can recommend my tint shop? It was 120 and I tipped the mexican 10 bucks. They have I think 4 levels of tint...I think it was 50/35/20/5. Not sure.

i used to always do ....35% it does look good ...in the day you could still see through it and at night you can barely see anything unless there is some sort of light around..............i am just as most don't like getting pulled over and i never got pulled over to much wit the 35's but have countless stories on friends that have and have been ticketed.........i even had a boy who told them to put on 35 and when he got pulled over they read as less and he got ticketed................

me i wasnt gonna do tints but the grigio (dark grey) just didnt sit right with me fishbowled ......the black interior also helped darken the 50% a little.......i wanted to be seen in the car............... my tints were more of a "thought it would set the car off more with them " more than anything.......

yeah i think the tints complete the look of grigio like you said, 50% is a nice balance to me. Aesthetically atleast. I dont really need 35 % for any functional reasons. Id rather not take chances with 35 and i want a uniform tint so 50% makes sense.

im guessing i wont lose much visibility either since noones complained about that yet, except for the racist guy who only runs over black people

cops have a machine that reads tint% yes?

Do it! I'm gonna get mine done by AckTL05 once he's done with his move. His current oven is too small to fit 2G TSX lights so after he's set up I'm gonna get mine done through him.

Man, this thread is on fire!

To answer the OP's question: I am one of the few who do not like tints. I like seeing things as they are. I hate tour buses with tints, for example. How am I supposed to get the real deal when I'm sightseeing?
