I had 20% installed on my car. The factory windows already have some light tint on them. Whenever I get pulled over and have my tints metered, it comes up at 11%

[ngwylie]

I have 20% on front windows, 5% on rear passengers and rear window. Never been pulled over

[ILLogical]

I had 35 briefly but I'm thinking of going down to 20 now because 35 is too light.

[E_Emerson88]

is it true in Cali "NO TINT IS ALLOWED" in the front??? i get pulled over all the time for it

[DjFlav3]

I have 5% all around, but they're real dark definately not for everyone but they look sick lol

[ADExternal]

I have 20% on the sides and 5% in the rear. I always like having the sides even.

[bobmundo123]

Tinting legalities differ in every states. For instance here in Colorado you can have down to 27% all around. In California, the lowest you can go for front is 70% (Which is not much of a difference), but you can have any tint on rear windows.

I have 20% in front, and 5% in back, even though all those tints are illegal. I've never been pulled over, and I live right near the police department. Most don't seem to care. I also have never been pulled over in California with my tint either.

Here is a link to one of my old pictures of my car on facebook. Not the greatest picture but you can see what 5% looks like in the back. Also be aware that at night time, it is extremely hard to back out of my driveway because you WILL NOT be able to see through the rear tint at 5% with your rear back up lights.

I have a strong tendency to avoid being called as a ricer by people one day, so to me the lighter the tints are more favored.

Window tinting can have absolutely nothing to do with "ricing" your car. It's not to just "look good", it keeps the interior of your car cooler on hot sunny days,
it allows you to see out your windows without being blinded by the sun,
and saves any seating materials from sun damage.

post some pic please.

Crappy pic but only one I got at the moment I'll take a few more today.

There are pros and cons in having too dark tints or too light tints.

Dark tints look cool but can be a problem with visibility at night, especially when you're backing up in a tight space and there are people around. Plus depending on where you live, cops might enjoy pulling you over all the time.

Light tints are ok but can be a problem during bright and hot sunny days. Again it depends on where you live.

If you want to play it safe, then just tell the tint shop to tint your windows with the darkest % that's allowable by your state law. Be done with it and focus on other cool stuff for your g.

That's just my humble opinion. :)

RICE = Radically Immature Car Enthusiast...

having dark tints doesn't make it rice...
it's your car, do with it what you will...

[Fresh_617]

my boy altima has 5% on top of 5% it comes up to about 2.5% that shit is dark from the outside but on the inside its fine i want that for my car but i get pulled over enough as it is

[DjFlav3]

I'm pretty sure 5% over 5% is .25%. Because my friend had a blazer with the stock 20% privacy glass on the rear windows and he got 5% all around and the rear windows were 1% after that.

I like window tinting definitely, mainly because I don't want people to see there is an AEM Uego and other weird stuff in the car a mile away. It attempts car thieves to make a move.

However:

And this is why I'm worried and want to get some really light tint.

Naw, slim, tints in and of themselves are not ricey, otherwise you wouldn't see them on S-Classes and all, tints are on all types of cars. Maybe those purple-ass, bubbled up tints are ricey, but proper tints can be a worthwhile mod that can make any car look tasteful.

Yea I agree, if you get them professionally done and they look good i don't feel it's rice. But either way it's your car, I put 5%'s on everything I drive because i love em, I'd do them even if everyone said it was rice everyday.

[wetamup2k3g]

^^Yeah, 5% is too dark for me, but my brother-in-law had a 2001 Galant in Black with 5%'s, his windows looked like they was painted black they was so dark, and it looked vicious.

[SirSaula]

I have 5% all around fuck a rice i need my privacy haha

[RavenOath]

I have 6% on the back glass and backing up at night is tough lol. But not in lit areas...just dark back roads etc.

[MI_SPRAWLIN]

5% looks good on cars that are grayscale.
20% looks good on cars of color.
Just sayin'.

[galant1983]

35% front 20% rear but the cop said 17 front and 12 rear lol
