i know this has been asked before. but i cant find the post. so. can anyone get me some piks of 20% tint on there cars. and also. has anyone done this before. i figure it would be a good learning experience. thanks!!!
go on google and do an image search for " 20% tint, thats what i did before and it helped me out.
thanks. but i kinda wanna see it on our cars.
Damn 20's nice, anybody got 30 or 35? lol
hey. thanks guys. youve been helpful. lets see what else youve got
i will say that tints in pictures DO NOT COME OUT THE SAME as in real life. it all depends on the amount of cloudiness, the amount of sunlight, and the amount overall internal light. not to mention, cameras have different consistencies when taking pictures. a very good example is in the pictures posted by vincent morris. basically, the way i see it is that if you want "light" tints, go 35. you want dark tints, go 20. you want tints where you dont want anyone to see you at all, go 5%.

Well you're right about the pictures being inconclusive. I wanted 35% for the fronts and 20% for the rears BUT in David Norris's pics, the 20% looks really dark and in Lundis's the 20% doesn't look too dark so I could actually put 20% in the front, exactly how dark is 20% I want the tint to be dark enough so you KIND OF have to be up close to see inside, keep in mind that my state's legal limit is 70% i believe lol
wow lundis i didnt know you had a sedan. nice. lol. ill be doing the side windows myself at 20% and the rear ill have pro done this winter. anyone have any pointers for me. thanks guys

1. Buy good tint. I used Madico Charcoal 20%. It doesn't turn purple like other kinds.
2. Use the same brand for all the windows unless you want the possibility of having them different colours.
3. It might be a good idea to wait and get it all done at the same time. All tint fades and some even changes colour over time; better tint will fade less. (although a month or two shouldn't make a difference)
4. Have fun! Hope it turns out clean.

not to jack the thread, but yeah I have a Canadian car. I was scratching my head for a day or so at all the "LS Sport" talk when I first started researching the car.

Ehh... I liked the 20% so much that I had the exact same thing installed on my new Celica
My suggestion is to do the same percent everywhere. IMO it looks weird having different tints on different windows, just pick something and do it to the entire car.
Sold 6/30/06.
I like having 35% up front because it doesnt get you in as much trouble as it would for me to have 20%. I think the 35% they can still see you but not as good.
Yeah that's why I got 20%, I don't want people to see me
But I live in Indiana, legal here is like 35% and the cops don't care about these kind of things. I've had 20% on my cars for years now and have even been stopped with it, yet I've never even had it mentioned to me. If the police are more strict where you are then I guess you would have to factor that into your decision.
Sold 6/30/06.
yeah. well my dads a cop. i get away witheverything. in my sig. if you look to the right and see the white vehicle. thats his 06 Durango Sheriff car. hehe

Does anyone have pics of tint on a 'vert? I'm thinking about getting mine done but I have yet to see a 'vert on here with tint and I'm curious as to how it would look (especially the back window).
