post up a pic and we might be able to make a few educated guesses........or if u want to be more exact, get a light guage(it might be a bit expensive.....maybe borrow one from your biology department if your in college)


usually if its so dark that u cant see through it......5%
very dark, but you can see a small amount of detail........20%
dark, but you can see pretty much everything inside..........35%

(these are all assuming that you are in broad daylight)

I would say it is 35%. You can see through the car to the background behind the car and I would imagine it is looking darker due to the photo being taken in a shaded location.

Yeah, I think you're right. The lady who sold me the car told me it was illegal, but ANY window tint in Iowa is illegal. The tint shops told me they will do 35%, but nothing darker. (On the front 2 windows)

Good question. Of course it says 70 for the front sides. I'm thinking 70 is probably how cars roll out of the factory. ???

Yep, it looks like a 35% silhouette tint. I have a 15% silhouette all around and it's cherry. It's illegal, but it's cherry!

I haven't heard the word cherry used like that since the late 80's
