Req: Pics of your 4-door with tinted windows
 
I'm trying to decided how to get the windows tinted on my '05 grey 4-door. VA state law is 50% front/35% rear. I don't like the look of 4-door cars where the tint in the front and rear doors is different, though. The guy at the tint shop said 50% and 35% is not different enough to really notice, but I'm not convinced. So, I'm thinking of either doing 50% on all the doors and 35% on the back window, or breaking the law and doing 35% all the way around.

Anyway, if you could post pics of what you have along with the percentage(s) so I can get an idea of how different percentages actually look on the car, I'd appreciate it. I tried searching but most of the results were old and the pics were gone.

35 all around. its very dark at night and cloudy days, but when sunny you can still see through it. 50 will be too light

Sweet, thanks you guys. I'm glad I asked, because the 35% doesn't look as dark as I thought it would. It looks good. Plus I just looked and saw that the laws for every state bordering VA is 35% all the way around, so VA cops are probably used to it. I think I'll go with that.

dude i just got my coupe tinted yesterday with 15% all around. way too dark. so i went back today and got 30% put on driver and passenger windows and its much better. still cant see a face, but you can see the silouette of a person. but my car is black with black interior

I'm in Richmond, and the shop I went to told me the same numbers for the law. Any way you could post or e-mail some pics of what yours looks like so I can get an idea of what the 50%/35% combo looks like?

zen_master 08-18-2006 12:58 PM

ah...right thread at the right time......

hm, 35.....pretty sure it's gonna be too dark at night...

damn NY law is 70%...

marcuse 08-18-2006 01:08 PM

you guys are rediculous , f the unenforced law and get what you want.

guess what folks. the law in michigan is NO percent in the front but yet you see it all over the place w/out hassle cops couldnt give two shits about tint unless your getting pulled for something else. be smart w/ your tint and quit worrying about it.

Here's my sedan (same color and year as yours), ignore the flat tire... this is the best picture I have of my tint. It's 30% front and back. I could have legally gone darker in the back, but I don't like the look of having two different tints.
