Angry Post your WINDOW TINT pics!!!

I'm sorry guys for this newb thread. I have been getting confused about tints. I'm ready to have them put on though. Summer day rides are just a bit too long for a commuter like me.

Ok, can you guys please post info on your (or other members) rides with window tints, like % and what not. I'm deciding 35-40% around, because I still wanna be able to see everything at night. But I'm not sure if that's too light. I really wanted 25% but I've seen some 20% tints and those are too dark for my liking. Please post pics.

Here is a pic of my car.. In the pic you can see the reflection of the tint.. Its a reflective type.. I think its 20% all around..By the way this is an old pic, this is before the kit, new rims and blacked out headlights.

My pic is in sig. When I got a ticket and the cop put the lil thing to measure how much light % it was it read 0. So I guess thats how dark it is.

Thanks fellas. Giving all but Civicdude approval points.


It look's like I'm going to go with 25%. But if I get a fix it ticket, I'm gonna have them take off the front-sides and put 35% on.
It's not for looks. I have dark skin, and I'm still getting tanned because of my commute.

thanks again guys

this would be a good reference in the future, for members who search to see the different tints there are.



ehh... sorry ironcow. I pressed 'disapprove' by accident so I donated you some points for the mistake.
