Whore your tint...

If you got tint, post it up, and what % they are.

Today I had mine done, and think it looks great, looks sharp on the white... 25% all the way around

Wish it was more even, but it suits its purposes and doesn't get me in trouble w/ the Cali police (or hasn't yet). Also, I can't justify $60 to tear down my tint and get it re-done. Screw that.

I live in a small town, the police have nothing better to do. I've been stopped before just so the cop could ask me a question about my mustang. I dont need another reason for them to talk to me

How the hell do yuou guys with 5% (or 6) see at night?

I think 20-25% is the perfect amount for seeing out at night, but 5% from the outside looks the best, obviously.

why do you need to see?

BTW, I bought my car like that. I think it's too dark, but I'm not going to pay money to change it. I got it from Florida, I guess that's how they do it down there.

Interesting how tint can look so dark in some light and almost non existant in others. Mine is 20% rear, 35% front, same car in both pics but the tint % looks totyally different with the sun on it and the sunroof open letting light into the car

i just picked up a door for my project CRX with 5% tints that need removal in order to be legal in IL. I really don't understand how people can see through them.

man with 5 or 6% in Ohio state highway patrols would have a hell of good day with you guys. i don't have mine tinted. my one buddy when he had his integra tinted it "Limo tint." and I'll admit it looked pretty nice. he didn't even have it on there for a week and he got pulled over. then had to have it removed. dumbass.
