How dark is your tint?
Hello all,
I plan on tinting my windows on my new camaro pretty soon. I was wondering, with some of the visibility issues and do you recommend for my percentage. I'm not really worried about being pulled over, and my range is probably 20-35%. So what percentage did you do? Do you wish you went lighter? Darker? And has your tiny caused you any visibility issues. |

I have 20% all around except the windshield.
Great during the day....little hard at night in terms of being able to look out the side mirrors or rear view mirror. However, I really like it, so I wouldn't trade it for any lighter.

Tint %
Quote:
Hi There, here in oregon the rules are no darker than 30%. After speaking with Johnny Law they do not have a problem with 20%. I havent been pulled over for it. 20% looks nice. Limo tint here and they will hit the lights and siren for you! Cheers |

Yeah you have much less chance of being popped for 20-35% tint versus anything under 20.
I'm considering 5% (limo) across the back and for the driver/passenger windows 15%. Always throw the windows down when you see a cop.

I have 35% on the door windows, and 20% on the quarter windows. I figure the quarter windows are small enough that the law enforcement hopefully wouldn't notice them being darker than the legal limit of 30% here in Oregon.
Wish I could do 20% all the way, but I don't want to take the chance of getting pulled over for a BS reason like tint too dark. |

35% on all windows except for windshield. Wish I had 20% (15%) but where I live the LEO pull over people all the time for illegal tint.

50% on the side, 40% on the back. I live in NYC, so I didn't want to get the sides too dark. It looks dark enough. I have a black car with a black interior. I was mostly concerned with UV/heat blocking, which is why I went with 3M Crystalline tint.
