  • Window tint question...again

    Hey guys, just a quick question for everyone. Looking at getting my windows tinted here soon. What i'm wondering is that i want to go dark, around 25% but don't want to chance the tickets.....so i was thinking 25% on the back 5 and 35% on the front 2.

    What is your guys thoughts on this or should i just go with 35% all around?

    thanks again

    Mixing up tint looks weak IMO. I think that 35% all around is perfect.

      Agreed. Don't mix it up. And I wouldn't worry about tickets. A cop isn't going to notice a difference between 25 and 35 so just go darker if that is what you want. I have 25% all the way around and have yet to have a problem.

        I like it when all the windows are all the same.

            Werd, I bought the car with 25% in back and something like 35% in rear windows and none on the front (supposedly were stripped during a tint ticket incident) , and it looks weak too. I plan on having it either all stripped off or all stripped off and redone to match.

                      lol tint is needed IMO.. keeps heat and prying eyes out

                      i'd probably go 25% all around.. i like my 35 but it could be a bit darker..

                              No tint on the front windows at all in NS . . . the cops like enforcing it too. My Jetta has the rear tinted out (bought it like that). Funny story - I was pulled over by the cops late one night on my way home from work because I had no plate (temp permit in the front window). Fair enough . . . he was doing his job. Anyway, all my papers checked out and when he was handing them back to me he made a comment about my tint.

                              "We don't like that very much," he said.

                              "Is that so?" I asked, smiling the whole time. "Well, I don't like being hasselled for not breaking any laws on my way home from work."

                              He chuckled and went back to his car.
