I hope Im on the correct forum for this, sorry if not. Did you tint your rear window? At night vision out the back window is bad with tint. Im thinking of just tinting the side windows. Oh ya, What did it cost?

2SSmeCamaro · 03-19-2010, 11:03 PM

Thats going to look weird...

Ravirn · 03-19-2010, 11:04 PM

During the day vision out the back window is minimal.

Might as well tint it.
I'll let you know on Wednesday when I get my windows tinted.

Maybe so, but the lack of night vision out the back concerns me.

Just had both my cars done today. 5% on back and quarters with 35% on the sides. Lifetime warranty 3M. $179 for each car. :-D

5% on the back.....have you driven at night with that yet?

xpanda305x · 03-19-2010, 11:29 PM

im thinking of doing 15% all around or 20% all around.

MyIBMssRS · 03-19-2010, 11:33 PM

I got 25% all around and vision at night was not impaired at all.

20 is sexy, you can still see through it, but not much.

Not this car but every car prior to the windows have been 5% or less on the rear.

CamaroVision · 03-19-2010, 11:38 PM

Can't even tint the sides in Michigan

I'm jealous and unsure what to do, leaving as is doesn't look fun.

xpanda305x · 03-19-2010, 11:46 PM

then i might do 20% lol.

philipdistefano · 03-19-2010, 11:47 PM

I have 20% on the back. No problems here.

SlingShot · 03-20-2010, 12:10 AM

20% all the way around along with brow to A1 line ... No major problems seeing at night where I'm at. Most of the cars are running those Silver Star lights and seeing them is no problem...

Sevn86 · 03-20-2010, 12:14 AM

I have 30% on the sides and 15% on the back and i can see perfectly out the back at night...make sure you tint your back window other wise it will look very weird...and if you dont want to then my suggestion is to not get the windows tinted at all...

Is having front tint illegal in Alberta?, I was going to tint my fronts along with the back and sides of course, but a guy I know just got a 160.00 fine and I think you get demerits against your license to

They look so sharp with blacked out windows but I don't feel like getting fined. There are only about 6 camaros in my city and I know the cops will be keeping an eye on me

Unless I can get away with 10-15% Maybe just say they came from GM like that

some cops know no different

Gorgeous camaro! looks all purdy in the sun lol

^^^^^

Thanks ...

jkelly · 03-20-2010, 02:37 PM

I did 20% sides and back and a strip across the windshield (visors are useless) no problems with seeing aot at night. Here in the south you have to have some tint.

dirtydogg · 03-20-2010, 02:44 PM

i did 25% sides and back, and don't have any problem seeing out the back. only paid $135.00 with lifetime warranty.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but do you have more pics of your car?? I've been considering adding those retro badges to the sides of mine as well, but haven't completely made up my mind.

baysinger · 03-21-2010, 05:06 AM

I tinted mine 15% sides and back and a limo strip across the front about 4 inches wide. Looks great on IOM. The tinters brother runs a garage where they do inspections and he gave me his phone nu.when it is time to renew inspection sticker. I love the strip across the front as the sunvisors in this car are totally useless

Spiv · 03-21-2010, 07:49 AM

I'm thinking about getting 30% - is this too dark for the rear at night?

I figured if it was, then I would go 30% on the sides and maybe 20-25% on the rear. Anyone have advice on how this would look? I want it somewhat difficult to see in the sides, but be able to see out the back at night.

uhm, just to let you know the % refers to how much sunlight goes through the tint. So 20 would be DARKER than 30. Not trying to make you look stupid or anything, just letting you know.
