I am not sure whether i want 20% or 5% tint, and I want to see what a silver max looks like with the different % tints on it. If anyone could post a pic or 2 of their silver max with their % of tint that would be truly awesome. I was wondering if anyone who has 5% has trouble seeing at night?

 

5 is to dark do 15 or 20

 

+1
5 is TOO dark. i'd go with 20 (and even 20 is still good for getting pulled over and getting a ticket)
..sorry no pics

I have 15% on all but the windshield, no tint on windshield.

 

I love my 35% titanium on my Bimmer. Not too dark, not too light

 

20% all around.

Make sure you get DARK tint, not the purple or charcoal spin off.

 

20% I think that or 15% is perfect if you want tint.....in my opinion for myself anyways

 

18% all the way around

 

dont go with 5, its really dark.
I have 20 in back and 30 in front. Looks really nice.
20 all around would look good as well

 

15% tint all around and its perfect.

 

Thanks for the pics and info guys. 20% it will be, I dont want to be backing into any at night poles b/c i couldnt see them. I dont think they offer a % like 18 around here. I think its 5 or 20, kinda big jump. I have had legal tint(in KY its 35 up front and 25 in back i believe) on my old 94 eclipse and definitley want it darker.
Thanks for the link, im really tired and didnt think about searching for the tint thread.

 

Remember to post some pictures after

 

I have 2% all around.

 

are you a vampire....just asking.....



no, seriosuly!

 

wow thats to much how do you see at night

 

I have to roll down my windows to back up at 18%. Can't imagine 2%

 

I took spray paint and painted my windows black

 

I guess he uses sonar...?

 

hahaha

 

i think 20 would look good, i just got rammed up the *** with speeding tickets so I can't afford tint right now along with the hassle it brings with it.

 

I use 15% tint on my car all the way around. The only time I have issues is if I am reversing in an area that has no light. Other then that I have no problems at all.

Get a good quality 35% tint IMO. The tint I have has the same heat rejection rate as most 5% tints and it's not metallic so much.



(Busting out the old pics)

 

better yet...get some quality 70% tint that blocks out more heat than 5% tint



sorry it's not silver car tho lol

 

I think I'd feel too naked with 70%

 

The lighter the tint the more heat it keeps out?

 

lol yeah i do feel that sometimes lol...especially coming from 20% black metallic tint to almost clear tint is a huge difference haha

i remember one time at a stop light i was checking this girl in the car next to me...she looks back at me and i was thinking why she's looking at me...then i remember i had clear tint on =/

 

nah it depends what kind of tint you get...on my old car i had 50% tint and it was hot as hell still and the leather seats burn lol

check out http://www.v-kool-usa.com/automotive.html that's the tint i'm using and it blocks out as much or more heat than those dark tint. i would always recomend this type of tint if you want to stay legal and still block a lot of heat. most people only use these on front windows because they're expensive.

 

I have 5% all the way... It is a little hard to see @ night.
I would go 10-15% next time if i could do it again.

 

IMO 20% is perfect. As long as you get good quality. Its a little hard to see at night when there are no street lights around, but other than that its good. Looks good in the daylight and blocks lots of heat. I'm quite satisfied with 20%

 

I think you should go with something lighter since you have a silver car. Something that blends well with the silver paint. Don't get the crome looking tint, though. That looks tacky.

Don't forget to check the laws in your state. I had a beautiful tint job done in Miami, FL with 20% and then a year later I moved to NC. In NC, 35% is the darkest you can go on the front windows so I had to remove the tint in order to pass the inspection.

 

BIMMER??
5% is way too dark.

 

I like my 17% Llumar Platinum Plus...

 

20% all around.

 

lol, true

Im rolling with 15% all the way around and 50% on my windshield

Hey Kyle did you ever get my PM?

 

personal preference but there is such a thing as too dark or too light of tint. Also depends on the color of your car.

I would recommend NEVER tinting your front window

 

Depends on what you want tints for in my opinion..If you dont want ppl to see you than 5,10,12%..Other than that 20% and up..I personally put in 15% gray on mines because is my max is silver mist color..sorry no pics yet!!

 

Chino post some pics when you get a chance. I would like to see what a silver Max looks like with gray tint.
Thanks

 

The whole front windshield

 

I know a couple of different guys around here that have tinted their front windshield. One in a gold max with 5% on side and 50% on windshield, and an white integra with 35% on windshield. You cannot see anything at all at night, whether you are outside looking in or inside looking out.
