20 ish % is dark enough without being stupidly dark. Matches factory privacy glass for blackness.

Anything darker and driving at night becomes a pain.

I went for 16% to match factory tint.

Then tinted factory tinted windows 35%.

Check my driveway thread for image pre tint post tint photos.

I've got 22, looks good.. does look pretty dark in some light however haven't had any problems. Had 35 on a previous car, wasn't dark enough.

Looking to get my tints redone as 35% is very annoying driving to and from work with the sun shining right in....

Does anyone roll with 16%? Or is that too much cop magnet?

1st round 20 rear 22 side 35 fronts (got yellowed)
2nd round 22 rear 30 side 35 front (got yellowed)
3rd round 22 rear 35 side 37? front (got yellowed)
4th round 22 rear 35 side 75 front getting this next week or so lol

Front tint is a must imo even tho its illegal I cbf wearing sunnies
Tint is most likely the first thing popo will see and most likely determined the outcome for a yellow.. works out for me any ways

Once in my car by young copper - gave up when I said "don't know it's a company car".

Another time in a different car with 16% sides - same thing. No problems even though they mentioned the tint.

Default Window Tinting

Hi Guys,

My other half just got another car and we want to get the windows tinted.

Do you know of any good places to go to get this done? We want to get the darkest legal tint done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
