What % tint to get?
 

Well I'm finally get some tint done on the talon. I'm not sure what percent to go with. My last car I went with 20% and that was WAY too dark although I never got pulled over. Right now I'm thinking of 35% or 40%. Of course I want more of the 35 but I CANNOT get pulled over. I'm in enough trouble as it is right now. So what do you guys think? Is 40 not even dark enough to spend the money or will it still look pretty good. I do have black interior which I think will help a little. Also post up pics of your tint so I get ideas!

If you cannot get pulled over, then don't get tint at all. If you want it that bad, then just get 50%. It's the best compromise of dark and legal.

Ya ya but I still want it dark. So basically I just want a tint that looks dark enough to be noticed, but will not attract the attention from the cops.

Re: What % tint to get?
 

50% then. I have 30% on my car and I've been pulled over 3 times in 2 years for it. Sucks.

Search in the body/appearance section for pics from our tint group buy last year of my wife's GLI w/ 50%, it looks good. Lots of guys got 35 and have been quite happy.

Seriously, if you don't want trouble, do 50.

Don't know if you remember what mine looked like, but mine is 30% on the back 3 windows and 35% on the front 2 (side windows). This isn't the best pic...but it gives you an idea

I thought of that but I personally don't like the change look. I think I'm just gonna man-up and get 35% all around. Hell I don't ever drive my car with the front windows up. I don't have a/c. I blame this on you scheides for making me look at the tint thread and wanting darker tint! haha.

Re: What % tint to get?
 

Depending on the lighting.. 35 can be really dark, or not dark enough.
if you plan on getting tint after the cookout, take a look at my car (and others), that will help you decide

Re: What % tint to get?
 

I'm getting it Wednesday of this coming week. I wanted it done before the cookout so my car will look nice and purddy.

I have 35% and am really happy with it; same as I had on the S2k and same as Janelle got on her WRX.

All 35% done by Street Scenes Tint in Spring Lake Park.

i had 35% percent and loved it, then got forced with violence to get it taken off.

Thanks for posting the pics Kracka. That is definatly what I'm looking for. Much hassle from the cops? Do you drive with ur windows up or down most the time?

35% it is!

Re: What % tint to get?
 

I would say 35% if you for sure dont want to get hasseled... I have 30% and love it, haven't been hasseled yet (knocks on wood!)

Yeah 35% will do good then cause urs is just a hair darker than i'd like. Thanks for the pics!

Re: What % tint to get?
 

As someone that gets hassled a lot, i no longer have window tint on my car.

I will probably get it done next year if i have the car, 50% on the front 40% on the back seen it on a cobra it looks good and is noticeable for the people inside.

Re: What % tint to get?
 

Here is 38% on mine sides & back. I believe Llumar was the brand. Quite frankly, anything darker would look like shit IMO.

Re: What % tint to get?
 

I've been pulled over twice in the last year just for my tint. The most recent was this past Saturday. Both times it is was by a state trooper. Verbal warning the first time, written the second. Trooper says 20%. Could have sworn I asked for 35% when I bought it. I really don't want to remove it but I'm getting the "3 strikes" feeling.

Re: What % tint to get?
 

Go to a police station and ask for it to be tested. Also, check your tint invoice and if you didn't get what it shows you got go back and have it redone.

Re: What % tint to get?
 

I have 35% all around and have never been questioned once about it in two years. (Knock on wood)

Re: What % tint to get?
 

For the rear windows at least, i am pretty sure from the factory there is some tint on there. So wouldnt you have to take the stock tint and then add the 35% which would make it lower then what the guys at the tint shop would say it is.
I know they usually will just grab a 35% sheet of tinting material and apply it over the stock tint.

Re: What % tint to get?
 

Mitsu uses ~97% factory tint. Some German cars can be up to 92-94% from the factory.
