Tint opinion wanted - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Oilerfanforever · 07-17-2014, 09:23 PM

I am getting my tint and 3, done on my 2014 blue ray 1LE tomorrow, and am stuck on what shade tint to go with. I am wavering between 20 and 30 % I am doing all but the windshield, and am unsure if the 20 will look way to dark on the car with the dark blue... whats your thoughts ?

Mine is black and I had the installer hold 35 and 18 up against the window. 35 didn't even look like it had tint on the window. I don't think 20 will be too dark imo....

I run with the same tint that I got on my 2012, 4%. FHP helped confirm it and the confirmation only costs $114.

Do you have a pic of your tint ?

Sorry for no direct window shots, thats what your window is going to look like, really dark. Then the Sun visor is well below the AS1 line and is the same percent.

Forgot this one.

I have 5% on the 3 backs and 20% on the fronts. I would like darker than the 20%, but it still looks good and is legal here.

Mine are 17% with the factory tint. Cost me $95 to find out. Still there

I'd go with whatever is the darkest LEGAL tint. Don't need more drama.

Especially if you park it in a garage. I didn't tint any of the windows in the 2010 or 2013. Don't need it. They live in a garage except when taken out to play.

TommyTheCat · 07-18-2014, 01:09 PM

i got 20% on my black car and imo I should have gotten 15% or something darker.

Looks awesome! I didn't think 20% would pass though...

Probably too late but go as you can is what I would do. I had an IBM with legal tint % and I hated it. I think it was 25 or 35.

On my CRT ZL1, it is 5% all the way around and I love it.
