  • Tinting question...

    Hey I'm going to have my car tinted by the end of the month. I've seen people with 20% it seems sorta light, and then 5% seems too dark. Is there actually a middle ground? Say, maybe 15%?

    p.s. why the heck do cops care if its tinted?? i mean why is it a law? jus cuz they cant see cell phones, beer bottles, ... oh ok i guess i get it.

    Theres a whole other thread on this, just have to search around and read thru the pages... but to answer your question anyways.. yes there is a 15% but its not that common to find, I've acctually seen 10% as well.. most people just do 20% or 5%, 20% will let enuff light in during the day and make it almost impossible to see in at night. As far as getting pulled over that of course depends on the laws of you area but most importantly it depends on the cop giving (or not giving) the ticket.. just a crap shoot

      your local shop should be able to do whatever % you want if they are good. just by combining different layers they can get whatever

      20% really isnt that light but if you dont want people to see in during day 15 should do it pretty well

        you wouldnt want to combine layers of tint.. they can get any shade they want in a roll... they just dont order 15 or 10% because its not in as high of demand.. theres not a big difference between 15/20 and 10/5. You wouldnt want to layer tint because it would get thick, a tint shop should have basically every shade you want and if not, they can get it within a couple of days!

          I say if you don't feel comfortable with limo 5%. Go with the 20%. I used Static cling on my car because it is illegal to have 5%. This way I can take it off and put it back on.

            You also might want to check what your local regulations are for window tint. Believe it or not I've actually had a bored cop check my tint, which was legal by the way.

              when cops check, do they usually just check the front windows or do they check the rear as well? 35% is legal here in KS but I figured I could get away with 35 up front and 20 in the rear.

                Tinting the rear is legal in most states I believe...

                    I went with 20 in the front and 5 in the back. I wanted 13 all around but the guy who did it only had 5 20 and 35. Another thing to remember that different brands look darker than others. I think its solar ray is the standard and theirs is on point. Most others are lighter.

                        I'm not sure what brand I had on my old car, but I had 40% all around and it was pretty damn dark. At night you could only see person's shadows when looking in.

                          Interior color helps too. Black looks darker than my tope color.

                            I had 15% on my jeep with the gray interior and it was insanly dark. I somtimes had troube at night in dark places seeing out my side and rear windows. Also in NY I beleieve the "legal" limit is 50%. But I had 15% for years there and never had any trouble. But Like the guys have said. All depends on who is writing the ticket.

                              This should be NYS law, at least thats what is where where I'm from and its not a "crime ridden" area! So theres no reason for them to enforce any law differently than what the state mandates! As you can tell, nobody really goes with the law because its retarded haha
