Pics of different tint % on BLACK Maximas

Hey all, I am thinking of tinting my windows soon, and it sucks that Massachusetts now raised the tint law to 50%. I think that 35% is still acceptable by cops but I really want to do 20%.

Just post your pics, of black rides with different tint %s. I just want to see if it is really worth it.

Thanks,
Matt

I posted the pic below in the other tint thread. Not black, but close enough with the Gray Lustre.

20% all around, and 35% on the Durango, taken in the late afternoon:

Testing 20's

22% Supposed to be a special tint w/ metallic film Called HR I think

The second pic looks like no tint, but with the sun hitting it the way it is, it doesn't seem like much. At night it is very dark.

Haha I know. 50% does no justice to your car IMO. I would like to do 20% and would go lower if I could. I know that most cops dont bother you if you have 35% which has been the legal limit for a few years now here....so 35% is safe but still not what im looking for. I just dont want a $150 tint ticket my first month...

I've got the 35% all around on my Black 00 GXE. The law expired here in GA for about a month and I had it done then. Now the law is back, so I doubt if when I had it done would matter in a court. Anyway, I've never heard of anyone here getting a tint ticket.

f I had to do it over I would have gone lighter though. It looks good but at night it is so dark if your looking for a turn or street name, address etc, you have to roll down the window.
