Can we start a tint thread to see some pics of different shades of tint on all different color Maximas? Anyone looking for tint will have a place to go.

I'm specifically looking for a white car with 35%.

He's right. The receipt read 20% but a few fellow Enthusiasts think it's lighter than that.

My car does have beige interior and the sunroof, not skyview. Not totally sure how this will impact it, but for what it's worth.......

I can take daytime pictures in direct sunlight if it will help you!

Ok can someone explain the limits becuase Im always confused on if 20 is lighter or darker then 35?

^20% is darker than 35%. The lower the percent number, the less less visibility you can see through.

If the car has a lighter interior and more light coming in then the light will reflect out causing the tints to look much lighter.

I believe there is 2%, then 5%, 20%, 35%, 50% and 100% darkest to lightest

Here is mine. Dark baby, only way to go. Only got one ticket in two plus years and got out of it. I think it's 35%.

35% all around except windshield.

cobrar97

Anybody else have 35% all around?

jutt24

do you guys think 20 all around might look too dark on a black on black leather?

and if so, would you suggest i go 35 front and 20 rear or just 35 all around?

thanks for your opinions

Because you live in such a fickle state, (From what I've read anyway), Black on Black with dark tint, might be a bit much.

My 2 cents would be to do 30% all the way around. I have a white car with 20%. I have the sunroof and beige interior, so for all intents and purposes, I can't get it any lighter, as far as the car goes. The 20% I've been told multiple times, looks like 30-35%. So imagine if I had done the 20% on a b/b car.

Maybe someone here has a b/b with 20%. What look are you going for? Limo dark? Vaguely see through?

Again, this is my opinion, it might look awesome, just trying to avoid trouble with the law.

20% would be way to dark IMO. If you decide to go 35% all around, you better check your local laws. I had to go 50% in the fronts to keep it legal. Just not worth a ticket and paying someone to remove the 35% film once it's applied is expensive.

here is mine, I have 15% all the way around with tan int.

jutt24

i ended up going with 20% all around bc i thats what i had on my last car and it looks very dark, but i think it'll fade a little. it was done only this morning. im thinking now i shoulda gone with 30. thanks for your suggestions tho...wish i had seen them before i went to go get them done.

I have the same color interior as you, 35% was a little to light for me. either way 35% or 20% or 15% you can get a ticket, so I opted for 20%, but my tint guy suggested 15% & I am very happy with it.

HOT! Hey Greg, you ever find out what offset those wheels are?

BadThad

Apparently, he has access to a meter to measure transmittance. Law enforcement officials use these in my state to check window tint. The meters calibration must be off just slightly so he gets a -1% reading. Theoretically, transmittance cannot be less than zero, the point at which NO light could pass.
