cleanest is subjective to YOU and your state.

why is this so hard for many?
pick a percentage that is legal yet dark enough FOR YOU



OR
you could just say YOLO and go for 5% tint so you cant see up in your window/game cube nintendo/blowin on the Endo.

tl_from_hell

just tell me what you would do in the cbp mr crabbypants!

AND THEN; you havent even gotten to what KIND OF tint you're putting on.

You know there are MULTIPLE brands/kinds of tint, right?

seriously tho; i went 35% huper optik

and then the laws changed to 20%.....
if i could do it over again, i'd do 20% legal Huper Optik.
but thats just me.

DynamicJ32

I'd say 20% all around.

I did 35%F/20%R and wish I did 20% all around.

Higher chance of getting pulled over by a cop though.

tl_from_hell

I like it uniform all around. so my vote is 20% all around.

my OCD kicks in when I see cars with different %up front than the rear.

zachlone

I did 20% on all windows and did a 5% eyebrow.

35% clean and classy. Don't mix & match.

TheLowLife

5%

if you get a dark tint day gon'e catch you ridin' dirty. catch you ridin' dirty.

TheLowLife

that's why you don't ride dirty

Nick216

The maximum legal percent.

iTrader: (4)

I'd say between 15-30%, lower than 15 is too dark, lighter than 30 is too light. I have 20% on both of my cars and 30% on my wifes. No issues at night or backing up and you can't see in unless it's direct sunshine on you or you're standing right next to the car. F the law just don't draw extra attention. 70% all around is what's legal in PA... 5%/trash bag tint is too ghetto. No mix and match.

I recommend spray painting your windows. It'll look darker and its the cheapest too. Just wipe your windows down so it looks "clean"

Nick216

Not very durable, i would recomend plastidip.

SharksBreath

350

iTrader: (4)

Put on the inside or outside of the window? Or both? I only plastidipped 1 side, will it be twice as dark if I do both sides? Also how many coats of dip is 15% tint?

LOL, you're in violation of New York State's tint laws with your rear side windows; anything darker than 70% on all side windows.

ROWDY621

I'd go 20% all around think its doesn't look with when mixed and matched...

35% tint all around IMO is cleanest and classiest looking. With black interior it looks similar to 20% tint especially on the Type S with all black headliner and pillars. I have a CBP Type S and love my 35%. Wouldn't have done it any other way. Like others have said do not mix and match tint percentages. IMO it looks terrible when rear side windows are darker than the fronts.
I made a picture thread of my car after getting the windows done. Search for my name in picture forum.
Don't forget to tell them to be sure to get the tint all the way behind the rubber strip on the rear quarter windows.

35% all around. With black interior its gonna look darker than it really is, and you can actually see outside at night.

Nick216

Yolo. Breakin the law aint for everybody.

CkDedmon

My vote is for 20% all around...just dark enough to protect from the sun, but not too dark. Regardless...go the same all around...otherwise, it draws attention to the tint.

aBe 024

hostile429

I've had 35% all around for the last 5 1/2 years and have only had my balls broken once. Some trooper who looked like he might have been eligible for retirement in the 70's was hiding behind a thruway toll booth, checking stickers. He had me pull over and then went into the building that's at every exit and broke out the tint meter. Think it metered at like 32. I went to my LASIK doctor and had him write a script for tint and got the ticket dismissed.
