I was contemplating a 10% tint, because on tecite grey it just looks sexy. But I just couldn't because if I spent the money on he tints, there was no way I could afford a ticket. Hell, I can barely afford the premium! :lmao:

Yea, I'll post when I get home. Huge fan of dark tint but also a fan of the blue and not getting tint tickets/going to court.

I have 40% all around. Not enough for the cops to come after me but enough that it obscures me in the car.

Here in Texas, it gets so damn hot, tint is normal on most cars to keep the heat out.

I find 35% percent perfect for me up north.. However, If I lived down south I would go for 20%.. Any darker than that and visibility at night becomes a real problem.

Hey guys.. anyone with light tint (talking above 35%) all the way around can you please post a pic?

When i get mine back i was going to do 40 or even 50 all around b/c i too despise the fishbowl. But am in SoCal and dont want to draw any more attention from the cops.

I cant remember ever seeing anything lighter than 35%

I don't have tints on my car, due to the fact I got too many tickets with my previous car and don't wanna deal with the hassle (5% all around, 75% on windshield).
If you lived in CA especially L.A. then you would know what I'm talking about.
I hate driving without tints but as long as it keeps me out of a ticket, I really don't care.

Here's 41 all around, 60% windshield. As you can see it still has the blue.





Oh, she looked so peaceful back then


Snapped a pic earlier today at Home Depot:



Still same tint, just good angle.

Car looks boss.

I've had 35 on windshield before, as good as it looks it becomes a huge strain on your eyes. Removed it after 2 weeks.

No hassle from AZ cops, But one time I did get pulled over in california with AZ plates. AND THEY STILL HASSLED ME! WTF!

My car isn't registered in your state, i'm visiting, is this how you greet visitors? Luckily no ticket.

Interesting how in Calif where there is NO Carry Permit, tinted front side windows is illegal. In states where everyone is armed to the teeth, its A-OK

I would like to see the data to support crimes associated with tinted windows. Its a cheap excuse to pull someone over, and look for other things. Period. I love KALIFORNA
