I am going to have my windows tinted this weekend but trying to finalize the plans.

Here is what I'm thinking
55% little front windows
55% front door windows (anything more and the local police would bother me too much)
35% back passenger door windows
35% little back windows
20% rear window

The question is...should I tint the little back windows 20% too...or is it going to look strange having 3 shades of tint along the side of the car? The place I'm having it done suggested the 20% on the little windows.

If anyone has this "look" can you post a pic or two?

 

Sounds good just so your legal - don't want the local police stopping you for illegal tint! Post up pictures after your done so we can see.

I pondered various tint combinations and finally went with 35% on all windows. At first I thought it was TOO conservative but now like it. It looks OEM and tasteful almost as if it was a factory feature and won't upset law enforcement. It still makes the car look and feel better as well.

 

I just got mine yesterdy. I got. 32 % all the way around. 50% is legal here but that's way to light. My last car had some on it before I bought it and it had to of been like 22%. I'm not sure I like the 32 but I'll make due it will keep me out of trouble. I see cars all the time at work with different shades of tint and it doesn't really look bad. If you think about it it's all the same color you just see through it less. So it doesn't look to bad.

 

I have 50 (front)/35(rear)/20(hatch). I'm very happy with he combination. I recommend getting 20 for both the hatch and little rear windows especially if you don't have the cargo cover as it makes it very hard to see whats in there.

 

I have 30/15

Can't see in the back and cuts headlight glare of cars behind.

 

ill take the fishbowl look anyday i hate tint even me living here in orlando,fl

 

Thanks, I don't have the cargo cover and that was my thinking too. Tomorrow's the big day, guess I beter make up my mind.

 

Uniform all the way around IMO. I've got 35% hi-perf metallic tint and get compliments all the time

 

I did the same. 35% all around and it looks good to me. It's not "pull me over" dark but it helps keep some heat out and privacy in. I kinda wish I had done just the rear glass a little darker, maybe 20%. If you're behind me in traffic during the day it's easy to see through the front.

 

That's actually exactly what I got and it comes off beautifully. The first day I thought I "pussed out" (extreme tint) but after two months I'm EXTREMELY pleased. I've gotten complements and like that it looks like it might have been a factory option. I asked and the metallic tints supposedly don't effect cell phone, GPS or radar detector activity.

 

Ok, so the tint is done and I love how it came out. I decided to go with the 55% up front, 35% on the rears door & rear small windows and 20% on the back window. I like this first picture best...please forgive the dirty car



Yup, that's a little snow in the air...this angle makes the windows look pretty dark


One more shot to give and idea of how the back window looks

 

looks good man hopefully your happy with your choice.

 

20% all around

 

looks excellent!

 

I'm glad I found this thread. This was a lot of help.

 

same percentage all around ftw

 

u can still see inside, but itsur car do what u want.. but its better if you tint all around 20% look more better lol

 

I did 50% front, 20% rear, and 35% hatch with metallic tint. Ceramic took a huge price drop in the last year. The heat rejection on that is much better. I'm going to redo my front windows in ceramic. Should have done 20% on hatch too. I wanted the front to appear lighter than the back living in California ;-)

 

i have 40% all around. legal here in MN is 50% so i just took it a tiny bit darker. its dark enough to where you can still see through it ok from the outside, but at the same time looks darker then it should at some angles because of the black interior.
