What percent tints should i get

[90sho]

Hey guys i bought a 1992 silver forst sho and i want to know wat percent tints would look good on this car. I had 5 percenton my bergendy 90and it looked nice. i dont know how good that would look on this car. Please tell me wat would look good

i had 15 on the car for about 3 weeks, after i bought it, then had to get it inspected, failed and had to take it off the front windows. personally i dont like the half and half as much, so i'd reccomend going for something light (like mine) so its not as noticable. stupid NJ laws

Limo tint in the back and as dark as you can get it legaly in your state. When its dark like that it gives the sho a sexier look. mho. that and the darker it gets the better it looks with that black trim around the windows and between the front and rear doors.

get 5% all around.. I have 5% rear and 35% front.. I've been meaning to go back and get 5% on the fronts and moonroof..

 

[silverknight]

thats what 23% front and 5% back looks like with light from the front. check sig pic to see how it looks from front/side.

Get what the law saids is legal and even tint all the way around.

 

[HoustinoJillian]

thats the thing, in NJ you cant have the front windows tinted. so dark tint looks bad because its half and half.

 

[silverknight]

yeah. michigan law says a 4" strip on the top part of front windows. which looks ********. so i went for the dark up front and have a doctors note. only been pulled over for it once. the cop was really bored and hoped to find something.

you are a ***** if you get 5% on your front windows.

IMHO, I wouldn't go darker than 35%, which is the typical legal limit. I had 20%, and it was waaaaay too dark at night. To the point where I was afraid that I was going to hit a pedestrian making a left hand turn.

theres 2 different ways to talk about tint. when i say i had 15% on my car, i mean 15% light blocked not light transmitted. i guess this translates to 85% tint using your method?

 

[SolidState]

yes...sorry...I didn't even think of it that way.

Limo Tint = 5% light transmission. Why not just paint your windows black....

85% light transmission...that means you have almost no tint....

I guess I should clarify...I had 20% LT tint, and will never go bellow 35% LT again...

 

[HoustinoJillian]

yeah i agree on the limo tint=bad idea, i like my really light tint, because it keeps some of the sun out, but still blends well due to the front windows being untinted.

 

[SinisterSHO]

I dont know the percentage on my windows, but I think I want to get my side windows done darker. I want to find out what mine are, and see what the next step is. But I would leave the rear window where its at. Its already hard enough to back up in a dark space. And technically in Illinois you cant have any tint on your front windows. I'm already breaking the law, so why not go farther, right?

 

[LJRuddy]

I have 35% all around. It looks good when you are outside looking in and it also helps a lot with light comming in. Easy to see in the dark too!

 

[SolidState]

yeah, I have driven several cars with 35% tint at night and found it to be comfortable...

 

[Shoaz]

My Focus has 15% all around, and it's a real problem at night. Turning left is a real crap shoot at night, and I've already sacrificed a tire to a curb I couldn't see. :cry:

Haha i know the feeling... My mom's mustang GT has 15% and i was driving to a QT at night after a snow storm... I drove right into a snow bank from where the plow moved all the snow. It just so happened that there were 2 state trooper cops pulling into the QT when i did this. I got pulled over and i had to do a field sobriety test. I WAS ****** hahahaha. Not to mention the embarrassment factor. Guess i need to stop drinking so much (joking)

I did that...two days after I got my windows tinted, I drove from Toronto to Orlando. On my night stop over in South Carolina (Orangeburg..IIRC) I was making a left hand turn and drove right over a median.

I put four new doors on my car this fall, so the tint went bye bye. I do intend on getting it tinted again, as it looked good with the dark tint....but I won't go any darker than 35% light transmission....
