window tint
 
Hey im getting my windows tinted next week, and i want to know what % tint you guys like the best. all opinions are appreciated.

Rabbit 08-04-2006 10:11 AM

20% is the most common for front windows, Illegal, but not too dark.

5% on the rear and 1/4 windows.

And yes the windshield strip is a good thing.

No, don't get the dot matrix tinted, they have a vinyl they can put on that to make it look better.


I think that covers all the questions that are forth coming.

/thread.

Well it looks like Michigan doesnt have any window tint laws. I think 20% on rear window, 35% on the side windows, and a 5% windshield strip looks good.

if they dont have any tint laws then get 5% on all the windows... i have 3% on mine and i love it but some may say its too dark. 5 or 10% is perfect for most people.

I would say 5% on rear, rear sides and windshield strip, 15% on doors if you have no tint laws.

ive seen prices from $150 to $250+. What should i expect to pay to get a pretty good job done.

03gtmustang 08-04-2006 09:28 PM

Probably $150-$200 including the windshield strip and vinyl in the back.

PistonsFan102 08-04-2006 09:33 PM

Thats what i really expected to pay.

I think im going 20% on the side windows. I just dont know i how dark i want the rear window.
I just think 5% is a little too dark.

I'm pretty sure we do have tint laws. I've heard of people getting tickets for tint around here.

Rabbit hit it on the head. 5% on the back shouldn't be too dark, but i will admit i have trouble backing up at night sometimes with my 5%. 20% is perfect for the sides, illegal but light enough that you won't get harassed by cops.

20% all around loooks perfect to me.
