20% tint

3.8for the win · 11-10-2007, 03:54 PM

i was thinking of getting 20% tint on my mustang what do you guys think darker or lighter i want to keep it legal to hears some pic of the car.

Must See · 11-10-2007, 04:23 PM

I went with limo tint in the back and the two quarter panels. as for the other windows i forgot, but i went the darkest without being illegal.

Dave04Mustang · 11-10-2007, 04:58 PM

it looks like you went 35% up front because it looks a lot like mine. If I did it again I would go a min of 15% all the way around (I have 15% in the back and 35% in the front)

EDIT: When you say you want to keep it "legal" we need to know what state your in. Every state is different for example in Illinois you can't have any tint in the front

yea it means you can't go under 70 which means don't even pay for that because thats what they basically put on cars out of the factory. Just go 35% in the front and you will be fine just don't drive like a moron haha

3.8for the win · 11-10-2007, 06:49 PM

well from your post it looks like they don't want tint anywhere so i would just stay 35% all around it wont be real dark but it will look good

3.8for the win · 11-10-2007, 07:21 PM

ok i think ill do that then thanks for the help.

Dave04Mustang · 11-10-2007, 07:27 PM

yea no problem your whole car would look like the windows in the front look like on MustSee's pictures. You should be ok its pretty rare that states don't even want tint in the back either so you might get nailed but 35% is still light enough so you can see who is in the car and how many people which is what they mostly care about

Mixedbreed02GT · 11-10-2007, 08:15 PM

i got 5% all the way around. TN law states no more than 35% all the way around, but i say TINT LAWS FTL!!!

any crimes committed against officers while stopping a vehicle with tinted windows are rare and isolated at best anyhow. it's just another BS law to control us.

PColav6 · 11-10-2007, 08:32 PM

70% is as low as you can go? ha ha ha what the hell.

Your car is dark so you're gonna want to go with low % to make it look good, 20% wouldn't look bad.
You should get rid of those chromed-housed headlights and get some smoked ones, it'd make it look much nicer.

traffic stops are one of the most dangerous calls an officer/deputy can go on. the next would be domestic disturbances. just if ya do go w/the super dark tint, do the guy a favor and roll down all ur windows when ya know ur getting pulled over. in most cases he/she is going to appreciate that. oh yea, do it as soon as they kick the lights on, not when they're right by the car walking up.

2% FTW. Its dark but looks gooood!

3.8for the win · 11-11-2007, 09:26 AM

2% does look good but i don't want it that dark im thinking 35% or 20%.

htownv6 · 11-11-2007, 12:17 PM

i live in pa and have 35 front and 15 back and have been pulled over before and tint was no issue ... i think as long as ur not 5% all around they wont mind ... if u do get pulled over tho make sure both of ur windows are down

Hey how is it driving at night with limo tint? and thats 0% right?

03_GT · 11-11-2007, 12:46 PM

i think the limo tint in 2%, cause when i had 30% tint on the windsheild you could not see a damn thing inside my car, even in full sun light!

limo tint isnt bad, my mom doesnt like driving it becasue she claims its hard to see. But i can see perfectly fine. No issues with it. I guess it takes some getting used to.
