I know this is a silly question but is there a way to see the % of tint I have? Just curious since I bought the car used and the previous owners did it.









sorry for crappy iphone pix. I'll do some later. still at work

 

the angles are weird, but i'd say 20

do you notice it's the same all the way around? or is it different on the back as apposed to the sides.

my guess is 20 on the back and 35 on the sides because the sides seem a little lighter

 

it seems like the back and sides are the same and the driver side ones are lighter and windshield is nothing.

it's bad angles but I will retake. thanks!

 

That's what I would have guessed. Otherwise, take it to tint shop?
Or look up the laws for the state where the previous owner originally owned it - I'm guessing that it would be as dark as the law allows.

Your new car looks great, BTW!!

 

^^^ when u get pulled over ask a cop LOL

they look 20%.....i have 15% and your whip looks pretty much the same....

 

thank you.. it's so stock...

i have been eyeing the aspec kit but have to wait until new years for more moola

 

ya the sides are 35 for sure but overall looks very legal

 

Your rear windshield looks like 5 or 20% and the back windows look like 35

Hows the police down in san jose? do they be yankin hella people for windows?

 

it's only been like 3 days since it's been in california. I just want to know if this is legal so I know what to say to any cops.

 

judging from the first picture, it's 35% just like what I have. When it was just finished the guy who tinted said it looks like 20% because of the black interior.

 

looks like 17% all around

 

Acura oem windows already have a light tint on it.. something like 7%

If u get 35%, it's ganna turn out to be like 28%

 

Ah, yes be careful of the "cumulative tint effect." In Maryland, the legal tint limit is 35%. I didn't know about the existing tint on the windows, and had 35% installed. I actually had no problems until FOUR years later, when a County officer pulled me over and told me my tint was too dark. I told him the tint was 35% and he didn't agree and told me I have to get the car inspected by the state. I called my tint shop and told them what happened, and they told me existing tint on the windows could have made the total tint job darker. So not knowing the true percentage of my tint, I just had it uninstalled.

BTW - 7% tint would mean only 7% of the ambient light is passing through the windows, which is extremely dark and close to Limo tint of 5%.
