Today I went out and got 15% tint added to my front windows.. I know its illegal and allm but I have a place who does "no inspection" inspection stickers, so im not worried. My question is, how dark should I make the other windows? I was thinking something along the lines of 25% on the rear 4 windows to make it really dark, then about 50% to the back window, as I dont want it to be impossible to see out of at night. some input on what to do would be awesome.. thanks guys

 

tint the front windshield .. not just the strip ... but the whole thing

 

That's rediculous, the cops will be all over you.

 

yah, im not looking to get into trouble, i just want all the other windows dark... and plus, when its time to remove my inspection stickers, i dont wanna cut up the window tint with a razor... im just looking to tint the rear.

 

What was the original tint on your front windows? You can multiply that by what you added to get your final tint.

I would just do my best to match my back windows with the fronts.

Dark tint is great. It's saved me many times from being pulled over. It sucks that my inspection is going to be up this month. If I sell her to my parents it, I can just strip it.

Anyways, be careful with the dark tint if you haven't had it before. You have to learn how to drive with it. If you aren't sure, roll your windows down and use you side mirrors to back up.

This is all coming from a guy with 1.8% all the way around.

 

no tint laws in ga thinking bout getting 5 percent all around.

 

Yes, there is a tint law in Georgia, Paul. 35% is the maximum you can have a a vehicle- excluding government vehicles.

 

I want to go %20 on the front window on my 04runner but what % should I put on the back to match the front %20?any one know what % is the factory rear tint glass is ?

 

how will X your stock tint and the new % tint give you your tint %??? I dont get it? ok let said I have %35 tint on my car now and i want to make it darker so I add %20 over the %25 and now my tint is %7?????

 

i dono please someone explain before i make mistake tomorrow

 

Match your tine with what you have on your front! I have 5% tint all round and its not that bad... in some tricky backing situation I wind down window but apart from that driving is normal with it! In New zealand I can can 5% legally on the back four and rear window but have to have 35% on the two front. Ive had 5% all round and have had no trouble go 15% all round bro itll look sweet and not so dark youll get pulled over!!


or you could go the mirror tint! hell yeah

 

That's right. I've got a layer of 5% and a layer of 35%.

.05 X .35 = .0175 ~ 1.8%

 

I hear about how you can get pulled over for an illegal tint, but has anyone actually been pulled over for it, or know someone who has? My friend had a Yukon that was tinted all the way around, especially the windshield, and he never got pulled for it. Just wondering if anyone has been pulled for it, and much of a fine is it?

 

yes, i have, its years ago, but i was pulled over and give a $70 ticket, at that time, window tint was NOT legal. i just got back froom Ca. where it was legal.

 

I have 5% all the way around and love it. I'm thinking of doing a layer of like 35% on the front window. It'd hardly be noticeable but would make a nice difference. Also block some of the UV rays from coming in the front and eating away at the interior

 

you can pretty easily get away with 50% on the windshield if your other windows are already dark (depending on where you live of course)... i don't think you'll get away with 35%.

 

I didnt know you could get 50% tint. That'd be perfect. Maybe I'll go this weekend and do it

 

50, 35, 20, 15, and 5...

 

isn't factory on ext/doub cabs like 35-38% ?

 

I think the rear windows on the dub cab are even darker.. like 20%
