looking to buy tint

[deathwish666]

okay so i did a little bit of quick photoshopping to try and see what my car would look like with different tints

i want 5% all around but im pretty sure i would def get pulled over for that...although i might just end up getting it and if i do get pulled over just pull it off and get lighter

but here are the other choices in mind

first is 20% in front and 5% in back

second is 20% all around
(i know its not great but i only spent like 5 min each)

EDIT: i had to redo one bc i screwed up haha

[Alerosaint]

Nice!!...im going 5% also but all around ....after my build and slight exhaust redo...since our cars look alike i know how it exactly look....lol..thx

[deathwish666]

haha np...but the second is actually 20%...i forgot haha if you want i can make another with 5% all around

[Alerosaint]

sure y not practice those skillz

[deathwish666]

haha practice :p...thats funny...ive been through advanced photoshop classes and even the teacher was impressed (no lie) haha give me a lil and itll be up

i was also wondering...anybody that has 5% ever have trouble seeing out at night? mainly when backing up

[deathwish666]

okay heres 5% all around for alerosaint

[doubleN0alero]

I would go 20% esp in PA...they are not real easy on that sort of thing...I've been pulled over more times than I can count for tint.

[deathwish666]

what tint do you have?

[doubleN0alero]

it WAS 35% all around...nothing is legal in PA.

[NickAlero2000]

backing up with 15%=NO visibility at night at all
5%=worse most likely
I'd go 20% all around...looks good that way

[deathwish666]

dddaaammnnnn

i see people around here with 5% on riced out POS's and cops dont even flinch

unfortunately cops seem to follow me for some reason....even my gf notices that they are like attracted to me and idk why....

so 20% it is haha thanks guys

X2 I'm planning on getting 20% alround soon enough.

[itsbmw]

michigan legal is 35% i dont know if i should push it or not lol

[lonnie]

I got 5% on my back 5 and I have no problem backing up.

[DansGen1Alero]

i had 20 on mine I was happy, but got pulled over, I have 35 over factory now, i wish it were darker, but 35 you are likely not to get pulled, 20 is optimal ok to see out at night, but chances increased of getting pulled, unless u roll a lot with windows and sunroof open.

[Alerosaint]

oh yeah 5% its is...i will just have to get brighter back up lightts....lol

[jayson_waltz]

5% backing at night you still have some visibility. you can see vauge outlines of things that your backup lights shine on. during the day tis fine.

[NickAlero2000]

yea during the day is fine with any tint though.
you KNOW how dark ur tint really is at night, just the way it goes with cars.
although.................
girls like dark tint. my ex loved the fact that we could do whatever we wanted to in my car :scpimp:
lol

Just be sure of your local Laws, for Canadians, they can visit here.

When it states Vague, How dark is that?

[natedawg9640]

i got stopped a few weeks ago for speeding... and he gave me a warning for that and a warning for tint... he said he'd never issue a ticket but an mean trooper will in a second. i have 35% dark 20% reflective.

[ndottaylor]

Does anyone on here have their car at 25% dark and 25% reflective? Tx state laws prohibits all windows excluding the rear to be no less that 25%. I have no clue what mine is now, but its not dark enough... i just want to see what it would look like

I had 20% all around on the alero never got pulled over. 70/30 is leagal in pa. and they have to test it in order to have the ticket hold in court.

[natedawg9640]

yeah... I like it a lot better casue it gives it a gray hue instead of some of that purple looking business that some tints get over time.

[shonky_alero]

I have 5% all the way around and a pretty deep window strip and I have never been pulled over for it and I drive in pa alot. but im from wv and they only way youll have problems backing up is if you cant drive.

[NickAlero2000]

not true...
i have a dark driveway with the gas controller thing in the driveway, the house shadows the driveway more
and i have 15%

[deathwish666]

i ordered 20%...if i ever want to go darker ill just redo it...

70 is what it comes from the factory...if you were to put the tint gauge on there it would read something like 72%. Trust me, I've been stopped enough times and been to court more than my fair share fighting this same battle. That is why when you throw on 40% (which I did now) it actually reads 33% on the tint gun (as tested in VA, PA and NC for inspection).

[clutch1]

I dunno if I'm just a puss or what, but when it's raining and dark out I have a huge bitch of a time seeing out of my side windows and stuff, and it seems like in winter tinted windows get foggier and crap than non tinted. Just something to think about when going for a %.

I've got 20 and I wouldn't want much darker. Me and a buddy tinted his Regal to 5% and it looked sooooo good, but that night we had bad winter weather and he couldn't see a damn thing out of it when we were driving, so he ripped the front 2 off to redo lighter.

Just my $.02

Not true. Michigan law is NO TINT on front windows except for a 4" strip from the top of the windows in whatever darkness you desire (GAY). Rear you can do whatever you want on the entire windows.

[MattismodderX]

in ohio (not sure about other states) is a cop cannot pull you over for just window tint, if he/she pulls you over and asks about tint and tests it and gives you a ticket- you can take it to court as win! because you have to have a moving violation in order to write a ticket for the tint. ha HA cops dont want you to know this xD

[Gr1m]

unless its raining i usually always have my windows rolled down when im driving. when cops pull me over they really dont have a reason to question the tint because i either get pulled over for 808 or no front license plate, though i get out of 95% of the tickets when they see the air setup in the backseat and want to see how it works haha

[[ion] C2]

tint is a fix-it ticket, having a moving violation should be irrelevant. they can ticket it parked on the side of the road for having illegal darkness.

[Gr1m]

yes but it wont stand up in court because they wont be able to run the tint scanner on your windows if your windows are rolled up and the door is shut

[clutch1]

Grim what's an 808 violation?

[01silveralero]

yeah... I like it a lot better casue it gives it a gray hue instead of some of that purple looking business that some tints get over time.

thats mainly from doing it urself and not getting all the water out

[meadus101]

I know a professional tinter, the stuff he uses doesn't turn purple, and it's not coming off the glass, You'd have to replace it.

[clutch1]

The purpleness if from the yellow dye fading quicker than the blue and red dyes in lower quality tints.. at least that's what I've heard.

[bizarre179]

I have 20% and I think its too much. Can barely see out the windows at night, if at all. I am gonna get them redone. 20 all around except the front 2, which will be 35%

Tip: Get it professionally done or you will hate it and not only waste your money, but your time aswell.

[clutch1]

Aw come on tinting it yourself is fun.. sometimes :P

[02Alero]

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p21/iknowphotoshop/DSC01078.jpg

this is 20% sides and back with 5% in the little windows..but i want 35% across the whole windshield

[02Alero]

and yes my coners are now cleared
