I'm going to get my car tinted tomorrow. TX sun is brutal on the interior.

Do you guys think I should do an even 20% all aorund front windowns and back?

OR

20% on front windows and 10% on rear windows.

I've got the stone interior on my car so it's pretty light and I think I can get awya with 20% on the front windows though state law is 30%. I used to have 20% metallic tint on the CLS and it was great for the summer heat.

 

I think tint that's different colors on the front and back looks odd.

but 20% is rather dark for the fronts.

I'd personally go with 35% all around to play it safe.

 

yeah I sorta felt the same way before. I wasn't sure if anyone had it different on front and back and it looked ok. Just sorta getting some other opinions.

 

20% all around..

 

35% all around

 

I just got 25% all the way around, I couldnt be happier,

 

Go with the lighter tint all around or do the staggered look. You may fool the cops easier with it.

There are much better reasons to get a ticket...

 

20% is too damn dark for front windows. you won't be able to see well at all at night.

 

I dunno i had that on my CLS in the past and it worked out fine. It was the Lumar metallic tint.

 

I had 20% on my side and rear windows in my Z. sometimes at night i would have to stick my head out the window to see what's behind me when backing up. in poor conditions like rain with glare from the headlights of oncoming cars things get unsafe with 20% in front...which is why it's illegal.

 

Staggered tint looks crappy.

 

Go with the 20% all around, if you can get away with it. Staggered only looks good on trucks or suv's!

 

20% All the way around.

 

Do they have tint laws in TX?

I have 20% (actually closer to 15%) all around. I can only think of a handful of times I thought it was "too dark at night".

Go with the 20% all around, you won't be disappointed.

 

IMO and what i've always told people to do is go darkest on the rear window then do all the sides a step lighter. It's also what i've seen most tint shops recommend, atleast out here

 

I don't have anything, and the heat is killing me too.

I just hate the dark look of tints. I'd like to get some of that light blue tint like on MBs, if it keeps the heat out.

 

yeah i went with 20 all around.. and if i ever do get a ticket *knock on wood* ill just retint to 35 or something

 

got my tinting done today. 20% all around but the shop was nice enough to give me paperwork saying it's 30% on the fronts and 20% in the rears in case I get pulled over. Good people here.

 

i got 32% all around. solar gard hp charcoal.

 

Unfortunately, the paperwork does you no good if the cop has access to a meter (which every cop around here does)

But EVERYONE in TX has tint, so I don't think you'll stick out as much as you would around my neck of the woods...

 

i got 6% tint on mine... got a ticket for it already... its a double ticket... i got stopped for impeeding traffic and the tint... the ticket came out to 200... not sure how much the ticket would be if i got the tint taken care of... still gotta get that done

 

People tint windshields?!

 

Didn't they tint yours?

Oh right, they just fawked up the rest of the car.
