Question Tint job on my dads Accord

Well my dad is finally coming around and wants tint on his car. He was thinking about doing 22% on 5 windows and I think since he has a beige interior since his car is white he should go with the next darker tint like 13% all around. I have 6% all around on my car and he thinks that is too dark, so 6% is out of the question with him. Originally he did say that he wanted it darker then 22%. So any ideas feel free to post. Yeah he has a 01 accord ex coupe. The car would be in Oregon and their tint laws are like most state 30 some on the front windows.

Thanks,
Nick

I suggest 15% all around. He should be able to get away with that much.

13 in the back, 22 in the front. Hmm... I guess the numbers vary from place to place... I've got 5/35.

Im happy with mine, 22 in the front and limo in the back. I say whatever tint he thinks looks best. It would suck if you convinced him to go 6% all around and then he hated driving at night.

Defiantly get lighter in the front, so you can see and don’t get into trouble.

Oh yeah I forgot to add in my post that he doesn't want two different tint percentages and wants it to match perfectly.

Right now I am thinking 13% all around on the 5 windows

My fiance and I got 20% on the sides and 35% on the back. It looks good and we don't get messed with at all about it. I guess because durring the day you can kinda see threw the back but the sides being darker helps to keep it dark.

My neighbor has a 01 Camero SS and he had got a ticket the other day for his tint and he said they tested it and it came to be 28% on his car.

The way we did our cars was cool. So if your dad wants to go that route and not totaly black the car out he can do that.

Oh yeah my fiance has a 4dr 2k1 V6 Accord and it turned out pretty nice with the tint. Nice and dark but not to dark. And that means no tickets
