Need Tint Opinions...
Monday, May 26, 2008 5:03 PM
Ok so here's my car....

I'm trying to keep everything legal, as I just finished Police Foundations and got accepted into Advanced Police Studies
Anyways, I live in Ontario, so the front occupant windows can only be 30% at the darkest, which is what I'm planning on doing. But I wanted to do the little corner triangular pieces in 5% as well as doing the rear window in 5%, just wondering what you guys think, if it would look funny or good? I think it would personally look pretty snazzy, and will really help keep the heat out.

Just looking for opinions, although I'll probably be too pig headed to change my mind! lol

If your trying to keep everything legal you better make every window 30% tint. I think it looks nice though I have 20% on my sides and 5% in my corners and rear window. its kinda hard to see out your rear view mirror during the day but if your like me i like to look back to make sure noones in my blindspots.

I would try to keep it the same or at least have the front and back window percents be close to each other. IMO 30/30 or 30/25 would be the way to go. But either way I would definitly keep it legal , you dont want to get a expensive ticket for somthing like tint.

like mentioned keep it all the same. going dark on the small 1/4 windows and light on the driver and passener side is gonna like a little silly imo. its pretty noticible and it doesnt look right.

yup keep it the same. i dont like the multiple tint shades, it looks cheesy.

if your in police studies, then do 5% , if you get pulled, just flash the badge

Well looking off the lines of the car, I figured the corners would look decent blacked out entirely, I'll have to take a look at all my options again when I'm at the tinter.... What a pain in the butt for figuring out what I want.... since it's a silver car I may just do 20% or 25% all the way around because it will be hard to notice how dark the tint is anyways

the difference between 5% and 20% aint really THAT noticeable, especially at night... definitely NOT 'cheesy' or 'tacky' looking whatsoever.

you wanna talk about cheesy... lets talk about llumar film...

lol no @!#$ at night black is black of course you cant tell it apart. during the day though its very noticable and it doesnt look right. thats just my opinion.

i have 5% in my three rear windows and my driver and pass are 25 and you cant tell whatsoever. If your rear windows are really dark its going to make your front windows look darker. And it all depends on who does your tinting. I had auto expressions do mine for 118 with a lifetime warranty and they did a great job.

I believe my front is 30%, Banner and other 3 windows are 5% or "limo tint".

I kind of wished I went one shade darker on the fronts, but I haven't gotten pulled over for just tint yet. In CA anything on the door windows is illegal.
