That's 25% right?

The way I see it though, I used to have 15%, and it was dark and looked hot and was illegal. 25% isn't as dark, doesn't look as good but is still illegal.

im thinking the rear window is 15% and front is 25%?..

I understand all the %'s of tint being legal and illegal, but what the fk is the go with silver tint ?
Looks like a big piece of steel dipped in chrome, surely illegal.

Anyone like to expand on this, I bet it would be fkn expensive.

But i guess 25% doesnt look as illegal as 15% so if a cop or an assesor looks over your vehicle your more likely to get away with the 25%. Unless of course they use a lightmeter.

The apparent darkness of a tint can also depend on the colour of the car, the interior and lighting conditions. If you are worried about insurance, defects etc...just get 35%. Its still pretty good.

Forgot to ask: Have you guys seen that "privacy glass" that seems to be on some of the newer toyotas and subarus? What % is that???

**Lukey** · 26-01-2008 09:13 PM

I got 35% and I sometimes struggle to see out of it at night.

**Too_Gr33dy** · 26-01-2008 09:54 PM

I believe privacy glass is about 20%

Well i just got 20% in the end despite worries about insurance and po po's and i must say it looks great. My arm only felt warm despite the super hot sun shining on it.

wtf are u serious? 35% tint sucks nVts, if u have trouble seeing out at night, u defntly have more than 35%...

not stealing thread, but i got 35% and i want it darker, is there a cheaper option besides replacing the tint?

I have 5 % on my Mazda and its pretty hard 2 see at night time rofl especially in dark streets with less lighting but you eventually get used to it & looks good and does keep the UV rays away.

I got mine done from Martin aka TGZ-80Y

And this is 20 % on my EG

My best option for you is 20 %
