Tint How Dark

[freakout]

Need help to settle arguement guys/gals. I'm not going to say how either of us wants it done as i would like unbiased opinions. Thanks everyone, your help is appreciated. :beerchug:

[freakout]

Forgot to add it goes in thursday.

[jwth2005]

as dark as you legally can!!! I would tint the backs the same as the front since they are so small.

[freakout]

Wish I could remember to do everything at ounce, all these options are legal.

[misslindseysue]

Darker always looks better. But anything 20% or less looks good, IMO. I think it looks better to all be the same, also. So if you're sticking with legal 35% on the fronts, do 15% on the rest. You won't be able to see anything out of a window with 5% once it gets a little dark. I don't have a problem with my 20%, but I do have to pay attention.

I think that a single tint depth the whole way around looks better than multiple...IMO

[johny_boy32]

do what the wife says...lol. Go 35% the whole way around. Don't mix and match shades.

[Travis99Alero]

if u must do the doors with 35%, i'd do the rest in 15.

[Oldsmopimp]

Mix and maych dosnet look bad. Looks way better than doing the back and not the front.

Here is 30 or 35% on front

and 5% in back.

Hope this helps..... car was in the shade tho, so looks pretty damn dark all the way around.

[ImSoBored]

looks better with one shade all around. I've got 35% all around, but no pics.

20% on the doors and 5% on the back! :thumb:
*the sides are illegal here in NB, but the cops dont give a poo... :cool:

[freakout]

Thanks for the input everyone it is appreciated. We probably won't make up our minds till the last minute. I want 5% all the way around but wife wont let that happen. She is the one that always gets cops bugging her. My pick up is done 15% front 5% rear and we dont get bothered with it I run it with just a catalytic converter no muffler, quite loud when I'm hauling anything with it and they don't even give me a second glance. I did the p/u myself and I can't get a pro to do doors any darker than 35% I want the car done well so I'm not doing it. Sometimes it is good to know your limitations.

[rival22]

me personally, i put 35% on my alero. i wanted it darker but my mom said 35% or no tint at all lol. but after ive had it for a year shes gonna let me put 20% on it.

if its your first time tinting the car, i wouldnt go any lower less then 15. unless you like rolling down your window at night at a stop sign. just my 2 cent lol

[PimpinGad]

I'm in the same situation I have an white 4 door and I can't decide to go with black tint or the gray/platinum, here in Oz anything under 35% anywhere is illegal so of course I'm going at least 25%.........cops suck when they do their job.

[freakout]

My transport is done 20%. I have to roll the windows down in the daytime to be safe when backing it up. They have made me take it off twice at the scale house (inspection station). Each time was in the U.S. I got lucky told them it was legal at home.

[tenny]

where did you get it done? happy with them? is 20% legal here?

[freakout]

Not done yet it goes in thursday. 35% is limit on doors. No limit on the others. In Ontario. They haven't bothered me in the truck yet but they could. They have meters here

[freakout]

Bump

[mixmastercase]

No shops will do less than 35% on the doors? If this is true and you want to go darker on the doors I would maybe call over to places near toronto or kingston or something. There was one shop here in ottawa that wouldn't do it for me but pretty much everyone else would. I think it's 20% all around.

[mixmastercase]

here's from the back

[freakout]

^^I'm gonna start a dirtiest car thread. :D

Going to have the doors done 35% for now, if I want them darker I can do them it's the rear window I don't want to do. The way we both want it is in the options. Had an 86 IROC, did it 5% on the doors. None on rear had aluminum louvers ( I spell that right lol) can't remeber which ones crager I think damn expensive. It was a bit of a pain in the beeehind at night, but looked awesome. No problems at all seeing with the p/u truck @ 15% the big truck @ 20% I don't take no chances backing up both windows are down in the daytime need to hear as well as see (to much paperwork if I touch something), with hood mirrors on a transport, you don't have to look out the side window to see to the rear. Everyone PLEASE vote!!

[StealthAlero99]

I have 35% on my doors (front and pass.) and 15% on the lil windows and the back, along with a 5% tint banner in the front. If i could redo it i would go with all 20%. 20% is borderline too dark at night, it isn't really hard to see but since our reverse lights suck, it is hard to back out sometimes.

[freakout]

Deed is done!! Left the decision up to the wife. She went with 35% doors 5% on the rest. She wanted the the rear dark for the baby. :D

Had it done at tint by attain. I'm going to do a good wax job on weekend. I've done some other mods and need to update my showcase thread I'll post pics in there.

That's too dark. I have 15% all the way around and at night it is some times hard to see.

[freakout]

If 5% was legal that is what would be on the doors. But it's not, of well. Changes the whole look of the car. Suppose to be really nice weather this weekend. Hopefully pics on Sunday.

[freakout]

Completed Project!!!!
