Tint

How dark of tint should I go with? I mean, the law states 50%, but thats pretty light. You wouldn't even notice 50% tint. I was maybe thinking 35 on the rear 3, and then 50 on the front windows. Sound good?

probably, I think mine is 35 and it isnt even all that dark

I just got my ZX5 tinted at Street Scenes Tint...Got the 30%

Below the legal limit but just light enough to not get pulled over. If you get 20%, your just looking for a ticket!

35% on fronts, rear 3 5%.

Never been pulled over or haslted, no front lic plate either.

I park next to cops at the liquor store, court house, gas station....not too dark I guess

20% all around. And have not been hastled.

The SVT is tinted too. But I'm not sure at what %. I think its 35 front, 25 rear. Its not as dark as the Focus, quite a bit lighter.

Kyle, i like the look of your tint, but thats a bit risky. I was kind of concerned about outward visability at night (remember when you couldn't find tirerack for JF05 because you couldn't see the sign?) but it wasn't too bad during our little cruise tonight. I might just go 35 all the way around. Plus, I haven't been able to find any tint lighter than 35 thus far

That just makes me laugh

here is 50%, not sure the quality, but, I got cheap, infact, free, ebay tint on my back side windows...

I went lighter up front and darker in back, darker in back makes the itnerior overall darker...

If you want 35% I have a case(6 rolls) of gilla brand tint, scratch resistant..thats the stuff on my front windows...

So, you spend a lot of time sniffing state troopers?
