Tint comparison thread.

Anyone tinted their coupes or sedans? I'm getting a tint on Wednesday, haven't decided for sure what to go with yet. I was thinking 25 percent ceramic, the lowest Texas will allow you to go. Post your pics and specs!

I did the exact same thing, 35% Llumar Formula One ceramic tint all around... also because OH is 50% max. From the research I did, the police won't bother you about 35%, but getting the note from the eye doc is a nice get out of jail for free card.

if you're not tinting the windshield - go 35% as to reduce the contrast of the side windows and front window.

If you are tinting the window, the entire cabin will be darker so don't go more than 35%.

basically, the answer is always 35%
