On the lighter side...

I'm looking to reduce my tint (5% all around) to something extremely light. I would like to get an idea of how it looks, with perhaps 50% all around. If you guys have a tint on the lighter side, please post a picture!

I think you would be very happy with 35%. 50% is WAY too light. You might as well not even have tint on at that point.

Look into a car with zero tint, then imagine that picture then think of 50% it's honestly about the same.

I was thinking 37%.

Go 35%, you saw my front windows last weekend........they were 35%. My rears were 20%, not alot of diference unless your really critical. If I were to do it all again I'd just get 35% all around.

Let me help you out since no one seems to be providing you what you asked for which is a picture of 50% tint. After being hassled numerous times by local State troopers and county officers over my tint, I finally decided to have my 35% (metallic tint) taken off and opted for 50% (metallic). Although the tint is light, it beats getting pulled over all the time Hope this helps.

I wish I had 5%. My 20 are dark/light enough, though. Dark enough that you can't really see in the car, but light enough that if i crack the windows or open the sunroof (like when I pass cops) it emits more light. Why do you want to go lighter? Tickets?

20% all side windows. I tinted the windshield 50% about a week after the windows (hence the 1st picture - no w/s tint).


Windshield tinted


1/2 open




These pics r kinda old... makes me realize I need to get a photoshoot goin lol.

I agree, except I use 20% in the rear.
