Post pics of your tint job and what %
 
Just wanted to see people setup for they're tint jobs, and your percentage.
My last car Protege5 had the one before the limo tint (can't recall what percentage) all around including drvr pssgr window, i thought it looked perfect.

I'm guessing that would be 5%?

Wasn't it hard as hell to see out of your rear view mirror when you drove at night?

icemiko 05-28-2009 02:18 PM

limo is 5%, so the one before it is like around 10-15% which is what I have now and I can see perfectly fine at night

tonyvu 05-28-2009 03:35 PM

My back and rear windows have 15% done to it. I can see perfectly fine at night.

not a really good pic. but it's the only one i have at the moment

front is 50% and rear is 5%

you can see the tint through the pass side, it is darker from the outside than it is from the inside, so when you're driving at night you can easily see out the back.

on my next car i'd do the same tint job personally.

anything darker is asking for it

then again my sister's car is 25% front and 5% rear.

lol 20%

CanadaGoose 05-29-2009 12:38 AM

Right now: 30% all around...looks killer at night, but too light for me during the day =(

Last car had 5% on the back 3, perfection, but didn't leave much option for tinting the front passenger and drivers side, plus it had too much of a contrast to the untinted windows....one of my friends had 5% all around, dumb idea, very hard to drive, he regret doing it. Not to mention heatbag as shit

Probably do 20% all around on my next ride, that should be godlike, probably the darkest I would go as well, unless you want to run into driveability issues

sorry, no pics. plus who wants to post a honda after the beemer with the flat back rims anyways? LOL

Fafine 05-29-2009 12:48 AM

im thinking of doing 5% for the rears but i wondering if its hard to see at night

Curtis@advmotors 05-29-2009 12:56 AM

i want to see pics of other car's tint!
cuz i always think i have done a wrong tint % on my car...

When i got it done, i told the tinter that i wanted it to be one shade lighter than standard limo shade all around, so it wasn't as dark as some of you think, 15% sounds right.

asian_XL 05-29-2009 07:45 AM

can't go wrong with limo tint

limo tint is way too dark to have on a daily driver, cant see shit at night and during the day cops are attracted to it. heres my car with 35%,

The pictures make it look darker though for some reason, looks more like 20%

albert116 05-29-2009 03:08 PM

i have the exact same car with the exact same color, but 35% all around.

yours look a little darker than mine...in a bright sunny day, my tint looks really light, it looks a lot better at night, or when it's not as bright.

CivicTypeRice 05-29-2009 05:10 PM

Curtis@advmotors 05-29-2009 06:30 PM

only picture i found with a side profile. 35% all around until got pulled over by cops. front window rolled down tho.

tiger_handheld 05-29-2009 08:34 PM

5% on the rear - 95 eg.

not baller enough to tint my front windows to get hassled by cops...

to all the guys who say , you cant see shit on a 5% - - you must be driving on roads without lights... i do a rmd - surrey at 10 at night and i see perfectly fine. i also thank the asses who high beam me from behind, they help out too..

Hey what's a good place to get ur windows tinted? and fairly reasonable price? I don't wanna do it myself cos i'm afraid it'll turn out like those stupid bubbly windows.
Only the back 3 windows though and they're all flat so it should be fairly simple (old cars FTW)

That G35 looks nice but i dun like the olympic plates on a white car. probably just me though. Still nice, looks pretty clean.
