Re: what % tint

do you have tint laws up that way? are you concerned with them if you do? if not id say 20% about, i think 5% is just too dark for at night, but 5% looks really good

Re: what % tint

My rule on tint is: Go as dark as the law allows.
If no law, 5% all the way around.

Re: what % tint

Re: what % tint

When you guys say "Tint the front windshield". Do you mean the whole thing or just the strip? Here in Oklahoma you can do the strip and it can be 2" below the AS1 line on the windshield. So on the civic that is a strip across the top about 8" wide.
So i have 5% on the rear and the back two windows, 20% on the front two, 5% for the strip across the front windshield. I am 100% legal here. lol.

Re: what % tint

here in CA its illegal to have any tint on the front windows. I've had mine tinted at 15% for more than two years now and am yet to be pulled over (knocks on wood). If you're gonna get tint, dont go any lighter than like 20%, whats the point of tint if you can see right through it?

Re: what % tint

I have 5% and would never consider anything lighter. There are tint laws here in Florida, but the cops do not have meters to check, so they never bother anyone. If you get pulled over, just lower the front windows so they don't see it.
