i want to tint but dont know how dark to go thnks

 

How bout those "electric tint" that KITT had in the knight Rider series????? Anyone know if thats possible? From clease to pitch black it seconds?oh and limo tint in back and on the sides but u will have to roll the windows dont to avoind a ticket..

 

The tint depends where you're from...here in CA any tint in the rear and back window is legal and on the sides its 70%. In New Jersey its none on front side windows and any in back. As for the instant tint...I had an idea about that when I was in middle school...liquid crystal windows...and guess what? They've actually come out on a prtotype concept vehicle by Ford in the early 90's can't remember the name. The windows could tint at the touch of the button. Actually they make those type of windows for home use. There have been a few attempts at it, but nothing for cars has been commercial. But I independantly thought of the idea on my own and that is when I found out there had already been attempts at it =) Here is an article on "smart windows" albeit for home use. Smart Windows

Oh and here are my tinted windows...

before


after


Its limo on back and I believe 35% in the fron windows...illegal but oh well =)

 

I have limo on the back and 20% on the sides. Pics are on my website, link is in the sig.

I have a question...What would be the point in getting Limo Tint if you have to roll your windows down to avoid getting a ticket? Anyways, I have 23% 3M tint all the way around. It's dark enough for me.

 

i have double limo....nice for shows and the look i wanted but a pain for driving at night.

if i had to do it again i'd go with an even lighter setup like 20% all around or possibly lighter.

 

i wanted to do the front but 6" from the top is as low as you can go legally. not that the sides are legal but i can at least roll them down.

double limo in the front is a major pain where the car sits making traffic lights hard to see.

 

20% all around on mine. Ive had darker and it sucks at night. Rolling down windows when its cold and raining jsut to see if its clear is a pain. Im much happier with the 20%

 

Same question is on my mind... looks like 20% is the way to go. I like the way it looks. My car looks stock, and I want it to be tinted to hide the roll cage, but not too much whereas it is obvious that there is something up with the car.

... did I mention I really like sleepers?

 

cool thnks my new car is brilliant red metalic and looks stock till u start it. 355 trickflow heads wicked cam new exhaust very LOUD and no badges. so i want to tint it but want to see in the dark. I leave for work at 5:15 am and get home at 7:00pm so winter sucks lol plus I want to hide the system in the back the cover hides it but makes a vibrating noise. and it looks kewl as hell thks guys

 

1 oops\

 

I cant get a pic of mine up it looks like this one dont know who it belongs too so thnks

 

that double limo tint is real cool!

 

Double Limo Tint

Seeing at night is a thing of the past.....

 

I put the 20% on the sides, didnt get around to the back yet. I used the el-cheapo stuff from Pep Boys. I didnt think id keep it on too long, but here 2 year later it hasnt faded or anything.

I dont know what the laws are here in pa (they pretty much change them every year anyways) but I dont have any problem during the day and at night I dont have a problem unless theres no lights around at all. The only time I drive it is when its warm and I have the windows down anyways so it doesnt really matter.

 

35% I believe it was on there when I bought it.

 

20% on the sides....not sure what's on the back..it was tinted when I bought the car

 

15% all around

 

ne body got my colour car tinted? thnsk id like to see what it would look like. thanks.

 

.

 

 

5% all around with 1 piece rear.

 

cant see in picture below, it was put on after, accutally that picture is like 2 1/2 years old.....
but anyways
I got limo on the back, dont remember whats on the sides but it is light like 35 or something...
looks great I love it, except for backing up at night, never know what I might hit.....

 

Anyone with mirror tint? Always been curious what this would look like. I was thinking about a light mirror tint for my car

 

with the percent...that's the percentage of light it allows through, right? like 75% lets 75% of the light through, 5% lets 5% through? for those of you with limo tint do you have problems w/ cops? on my RS, i think i got medium tint (not sure what the % was) but i'm about to get my iroc tinted and want darker. anybody know what % medium tint is?

i know the legal limit in GA is 32% and i went a little lower than that, so i think medium is around 27% or so

 

35% in the front a 13% in the rear

 

not quite sure what % but i think it looks good

 

mine is 5% (limo) on the sides and rear window...not legal but it looks awesome...



later
larry

 

I'm gathering the lower the percentage, the darker the tint. Does anyone know what the legal tint percentage is in CA? I think the 20% looks best all around. Can most stereo/audio places do this? Also, is 3M the best brand for tint? Thanks

 

no tint yet but plan on doing 30% in the back no tint on the sides or front

 

the place that i go to for tint uses solargard tint. it is suppose to be the best tint on the market and it never fades or turns purple, of course if it does and it is not too dark they have a LLT warranty on their work and the products they use.

my brother has 12% on all of the windows in his camaro and it is really hard to see out at night. he is selling the car, but if he was going to keep it, he was going to go back to the shop that we have do our work and have them overlay the back (which is already 12%) with 5% so that his subs could not be seen.

needless to say, the darker it is the harder it is to see at night; but also, the better off you are in the daytime as far as sunlight blinding you or damaging your interior.

 

it's funny how i ask the same topic and my post get's locked... one of the resons y i hardly post here....

anyway some of thoes cars look sweet:hail:

 

I noticed alot of people dont post here like they used to.

 

35 on the sides and none on the rear


35 sides and none on the rear



35 sides and 35 rear.


note: that is the same car in all 3 pictures.

 

5% on the sides and the hatch. I went with 3M tint (guarantee never to bubble). I didnt like the previous tint color (did not match my style), so I had it replaced with black. It looks like this:



When I first got my 91, the previous owner had titanium tint. It was 35% on the sides and rear (thats the legal limit here in Hawaii). It looked like this:

 

kewl thnks and i love your car CrazyHawaiian and off subject but is there anywhere u can race your car there? thnks everyone

 

Irocster I'm gathering the lower the percentage, the darker the tint. Does anyone know what the legal tint percentage is in CA? I think the 20% looks best all around. Can most stereo/audio places do this? Also, is 3M the best brand for tint? Thanks



im not to sure about it but i think the legal tint percentage on the front windows in cali are 50%. I had my tint on for over a year and i haven't been harrassed by the cops

 

Well, I heard that you can't tint your windshield at all, but you can paint your back window with black paint if you like (that's what my cousing said who's a sheriff) However, I'd like to know the percentage for the sides.

 

Which is darker??

Im confused. Is the lower the number darker the tint? or higher the number darker the tint?

 

Yes, I think the lower the percentage ("5 limo) the darker...correct me if I'm wrong.

 

hey i just got my camaro and it had tint on it... not sure wut percentage... but i was wondering how much a new tint job is because there is major scratches in it and its starting to peel on the back windsheild....how much do these jobs cost normally... i dont want n e thing to dark... sumthing medium-dark... if u get my drift... thanx alot fellas

 

The number stands for what percentage of light still shines through. 5% is pretty much the darkest (limo tint), anything below that (if they make it?) would be impossible to see through.

I think i'm going with 20% on the sides and 5% on the rear when i get around to it. Black cars look soo sexy with real dark tint!!

 

this is my old stereo car, but hopefully you can get the idea...im doing the same thing on my z...i know its a ford and i know its ugly but it was a good car







thats 5% on sides, and windshield and the back side windows are spray painted cause i had no back seat so didnt have to see out of them

 

my thought exactly!

 

Has anyone tinted the entire windsheild?

I was thinking about doing some mild tinting of the windsheild also, maybe something like 60% would be ok, but I am not sure how it would look.

 

Its the Nebraska limit, whatever that is...

 

my car above has 5% on the windshield
