Does anyone know what the tint value is for an Appearance Group car? I thought I read somewhere that it is 35 but my car is no where near as dark as fazooley's.

The higher the percentage, the lighter the shade. Limo tint runs around 4-5%. The sunroof on our cars is about 20%.

just picked up my appearance pkg car. i cant imagine it is 35%, much lighter.

and btw, i was thinking since 20% all around too strong for me, anyone do say 35% sides and 20% rear with a pano roof?
thanks , j.

My guess would be that the appearance pkg is 50-60. Perhaps the post which I saw was talking about a 35 for UV.

Just got mine done at 20% and it looks awesome, I highly recommend it. My color is peweter with ash inside. Also, 20% is darker than 35%, at least in tint world - I looked at the samples too.

fazooleys is 35% and the tint on my clk is 20%, we both got them done by the same guy. 20% is def darker than 35%. mine is difficult to see into the car in the day time and at night is practically pitch black. his car during the day is like a dark smoke color and at night pretty hard to see into. keep in mind that we both have charcoal interiors. on my old c class i had 35% with ash interior and it seemed like you could see into the car at all times of the day.

and if you get stoped by NYPD and they can not see you inside, they will bust your side window.
Tinting all windows is

FYI, I can not stand people who put full tint all around those f##$%ig gold shields on the windshield, because drive like a h$%^s.

what? thats the dumbest thing i ever heard. i hope you mean "bust" as in possibly give you a ticket and not literally "bust" your window.

anytime i have ever been pulled over with tinted windows, i rolled down all the windows so the cops can see into the car for 2 reasons, 1) the tint is illegal and 2) its easens the cops tensions, they are not uncertain approaching your vehicle.

tinted windows in ny is a fine anyway, you just pay it and thats it. you dont have to send proof that you fixed the windows. i cant think of one person i know who got pulled over in nyc for tinted windows solely. i know kids that got pulled over for other reasons and then the cops just added the tickets for the tints as well.

i just got mine tinted at 20% last week and loving it. cant beleive i never tinted any of my cars before.

this thing is addicting. i love the 20% but i want it a little darker, but i sat in my freinds car with the limo tint but didnt like the fact it was hard to see out thru the rear at night.

is their a percentage between 20% and limo tint?
