Looking at different % tint options and I can't decide how dark I want to go...I was thinking 30-35% but with my white seats/interior, I was afraid that may not turn out as dark as I'm looking for. Just requesting some pictures of different shades of tint on a WDP. Thanks guys

no question do 20%. unless cops r dicks where u are u wont get into trouble. not to mention 30-35% is just too light to spend the money IMO

Yeah that's the other issue...cops aren't too friendly with tint around here. I am however working on getting a script from my doctor for tint, due to migraines.

35%:


Dark enough to look good, but light enough not to piss off the cops. I have the ebony leather interior, so it will look darker than a WDP with tan leather interior. I've had plenty of tint tickets before, and I've learned that the inconveniences of getting pulled over and handed a $150 ticket are totally not worth it.

it depends on angle of pic, time taken, background, and type of film too
I have 35% pinnacle series in rear, and 50% generic tint front (don't know brand)

I think it's something like 20%. Seems pretty dark but I have the light interior too. So far I haven't had any problems with cops.

20%...photo was taken in the afternoon so they look a little darker than than they actually are but u get the idea.

Don't let worrying about getting pulled over stop u from gettng what tint u want--I almost made that mistake. It's a managable issue. I've been pulled over more than once...meh, no biggie

(I desperately need new pics since my coilover install...stock height )

35% all around looks the best on black interior. 3 years with it and never bothered by cops. If you have light interior I would do 20%

You need to decide if cops are bad, I have same setup as Jwrong...due to NYC cops being strict on it and I didn't want to deal with tickets. so I got 50/35. My fronts barely look tinted in the sun, at night time it is darker. but with the moonroof open, nav on and my light interior, i haven't had popo issues yet.
If I didn't have police watching me everytime, i would have done 30/20.

That's why I'm In love with my tint, benefit of darker looking tint and staying legal at the same time. I've been pulled over a few times because on overcast day it looks really dark. Have been metered at 46%

35% Back 50% Front. I forget the brand.

Have any more shots/angles?


Which windows did you have done? All sides, and the rear window? Do you have any other shots as well? Especially since you have a light interior like mine?

I just don't want to put a tint on, then find out it's too light for my liking and have to have it re done again.

john_wrap

If you're worried about them not being dark enough at all...don't get 35%...get 20%. I was in the same boat and ended up getting 20%ish and haven't regretted it. Also, get the good stuff...no cheap tint .

Can somebody still at least see your silhouette with 20%? I hate that "painted" black tint look where you can't see anything at all, but I don't want it to be light either.

Here's mine with 15% all around. Working on getting it dropped about 1.5

Yeah for sure. I have tan interior so that might help, but in day time you can certainly see, at the very least, a silhouette. Again, my tan interior might be aiding in this, but it doesn't look like I'm rolling around all limo'ed out at all.

It's a pretty sunny day here in NC...I'll take a direct side shot and let you judge for yourself.

Also, I think a lot of guys that you see with the lighter tint may have settled on that due to worrying about unwanted attention from cops...but that's merely my opinion.

john_wrap

Scratch that comment about taking a side shot of my tint...the pic above is IDENTICAL to how mine looks.

White Lightening: looking good!...now like you said...drop that bitch!

White Lightening

Thanks!! She's a work in progress.
