i just wanted to know what % of tint you guys have on your front windows...when you guys drive at night, is it hard to see the headlights of the cars beside you on your side mirror when the window is up?? i just wanna know cuz im planning on tinting the front windows.

 

Put 35% if your worried, and 20% if your not. Both look nice.

 

right now i have 20% in the back pass. and driver windows. i live in va so the law here can be different from where you guys live

 

I have 5% in my rear window and I dont have much of a problem seeing headlights through my rear view mirror, so I would imagine it would be likewise on the sides.

 

Yup, it is. But I tinted anyway. There are no inspections here, so I took my chances. It was a 18 months ago. Your milage may vary.

 

my max has 64,000 miles on it and its 12 yr old. if i will tint the front windows i think i will do it myself... hey todamax, there are no inspections where you live? do you mean state and emissions?

 

no I mean like the kind of inspections that you take you car to the place and someone looks it over to make sure its works and road safe. They also make sure your tint is legal or you fail inspection. New york and California (and other states) have them AFAIK.

here in Illinois, there is only emissions.

Dude, my car is 10 years old. Your preaching to the choir in teh 3rd gen forum. Your car is doing better than most, 64K is excellent. My 92 has 61K...

I think we have conversed before. I will be tinting the windows on my max this week. It is a fun job, and I'm finally getting skilled enough to do it right. If you havent tinted before, go to wal-mart by some tint and apply it to anything that you can before you do your car. Its not rocket science, but its not like chewing gum either.

 

i think ill tint both of my front windows with 35% but im doing it by myself

 

I've got 5% on my back window and 20% on the back sides. Right away I am putting 35% on the front sides. The cops have been out hard for stuff like that the last couple months but how can you resist full tint on a black 4 door car?

 

hey quick question cause i'm pretty new at all of this...does lower percentage mean darker tint? and how much did you guys pay for your tint job?

 

i got 5 on back but getting 50% on fronts

 

i have 5 % all around i use to have 35 all around but i stripped it and had 5% all around. i like it a lot more. looks sweet

 

Yeah, you get use to 5%. While driving at night, it's not that bad. And while in the day time, it's prefectly fine.

I used to live in Vegas and the cops don't enforce window tint cause it's so freakin hot out there. Most cops have limo tint themselves. When I move back out there, I will put limo tint on.

 

im gonna be gettin 20% done all around at the end of the month. i have a tan interior, so i heard if 35% won't really seem like you have tints at all.

 

I have a 20% tint on my car. i've been pulled over twice because of it

 

Yes, and expect to pay 130+ for a quality job.
