20 or 35 % Tint All Around??
I was wondering what everyone thinks gives a more stylish look. Tinting my 99 Black SE-L all the way around with 20 or 35% tint? I don't really want to attract attention during the day, but I want it to be dark at night.. any ideas?

Is there laws against certain tint? My friend just got 5% all around and i would still go darker. However, im the kind of person who likes tint you cant see through even when you place your face on the window...

it all depends on the in your area... ask friends who have tint if they get bothered. Ask the shop if police are known to ticket for it. In NH it's illegal to tint the fronts so I got 50% (35% in back) because police and inspection places notice (so I've heard) and 50% is better than none (IMO) but I didn't want to pay to put on 35% and have to take it off.

Legal Limit..
I live in Jersey.. I'm sure a bunch of you's are from NJ. I used to have 5% limo tint on my Mustang, and used to get *****ed at from the police constantly. I know a few people with Lexus', BMW's and VW's that have tint all the way around, and police don't bother them. So I was thinking the classier the car, the less b*tching you get from the police. But I know any tint on the front windows is illegal.

Hey not trying to start a war here but I think its fukced up for you to say that that's an ugly car, at one point in time that was a real nice car and I think it still is. How would you feel if a year or two from now someone says look at that ugly old 4th Gen?

I think that is his car so im pretty sure he can say its ugly
I have 5% tint all around and it looks good from the outside, and I love the fact that when im next to someone at a stoplight they try looking in at me but cant, BUT, it is a little hard to see out @ night so i wish they had like a 10% or 15% tint but 20% is probably the closest?

Trust me on this dawg, go with the 35% because the 20% is just too dark IMO. I believe our cars come from the factory with a very light tint on them stock (someone correct me if I'm wrong on this) so when you add 20% it just makes it look even darker than what 20% is supposed to look like without prior tinting.
I think 35 is fine for our cars.

you know those times, where you look at your car and say..."damn that looks good"
and then - "gawd that's ugly"?
Thats an ugly pic of the car, but good tint pic

maybe because anything darker gets too much attention?? Ever think of that? And if darker is illegal the you're just throwing your money away when they make you peel it off.

I grew up in NC and there is NO way the cops would allow anything darker than 35% to pass inspection. Cops would pull you over and make you strip it right then and there.
20% at night is nothing. You can see everything. I got 5% and sometimes it's difficult to see out. Especially when i'm rolling in my dark neighborhood, I have to look out my windshield or just roll the window down. But it's SO worth it. My car is cooler during the day, my AC doesn't work half as hard anymore, and it looks so sweet.

well when the cop walks up to you, make sure you have your windows rolled down
35% is very see through. i hate looking over at someone w/ tint that i can see through and look at there ugly face lookin at me. 35% only looks not see through if you look at it from certain angles, like if the suns blairing off of it for example
Personally i got 5% but it can be a little dark at night when there aren't many lights on the road or in certain neighbehoods
put atleast 20% unless your over 40 years old or got catteracts or glucoma or sumptin else
IMHO ofcoarse
