Got my windows tinted

30thAnniversaryZ28 · 03-10-2009, 11:57 AM

Got 5% on the back, and two layers of 20% on the sides, which amounts to 4%.

masagsxr · 03-10-2009, 12:04 PM

whoa.. thats dark.. I take it no tint law there?

30thAnniversaryZ28 · 03-10-2009, 12:12 PM

No, the legal limit is 27% for sides and I believe the back as well. I just don't care, there's only a few cops around here that pull for tint and even fewer that ticket. I got pulled once in my z/28 for 17% and got a warning.

masagsxr · 03-10-2009, 12:16 PM

looks good looking outside from the inside...

Well here in cali... no tint allowed at all for front door/windows

fvillota · 03-10-2009, 12:19 PM

The camera makes it seem a little lighter than it is. It's not bad at all really though. I'd hate to have as many laws as CA.

masagsxr · 03-10-2009, 12:21 PM

yeah... we have all sorts here. You can get a ticket just for about anything....

Redfox · 03-10-2009, 12:36 PM

You might as well tint your front windshield lol

fvillota · 03-10-2009, 03:01 PM

hahaha damn that sucks! i'd hate to not have tints lol it bothes me to have clear windows haha.

yea i have a friend that tinted this whole front window on his car. im just surprised he hasnt gotten a ticket yet.

mr2stealth · 03-10-2009, 03:24 PM

I recently tinted mine also. 5% in the rear windows and 20% up front. Soo much cooler when its hot out and makes it lookin cleaner too....my opinion.

TintedOutDeuce · 03-10-2009, 03:41 PM

U gotta love a TintedOutDeuce. LOL

MR2 Drifter · 03-10-2009, 03:43 PM

In chicago (all of illinois i think) you can't have tints on the front windshield or the driver passenger windows, but the back windows they really don't care about how dark it is

I had tints in my 2 when I got it but the back one was in horrible condition so I peeled it off and just left the side 2 little windows

but those are toooo damn dark, your going to have a hard time driving at night like that

fvillota · 03-10-2009, 03:44 PM

ahha yea sometimes i gotta pull down the windows on my girlfriends dads car. he loves double limo tint!

Spinfin · 03-10-2009, 04:07 PM

I remember having 6% on my side windows.

It's really really nice on intensely sunny days because you barely even have to use your AC. It's incredible how well dark tint helps keep the temperature inside the car steady and you feel absolutely no warmth or singe from the sun.

Rainy nights is the only downside.

GINA2MR2 · 03-10-2009, 07:11 PM

looks great ....
you'll do fine at night...i had limo all around and never had a problem on my GTI
i'm tinting my MR2 limo .. and a light tint on the wind shield,

I can drive it at night fine, even on darker roads. And my eyes aren't the greatest by far.

fvillota · 03-13-2009, 12:06 PM

hahaha yea man i know. i hear about it all the time with a few friends that live there.

RedStarr · 03-13-2009, 12:43 PM

15%. Haven't gotten a ticket yet. I plan on removing it though to get 3M Crystalline film on it (40 on the sides, 70 on the windshield).

I can't reverse into my driveway at night and even more so in the rain w/o dropping the windows...but keeping whichever girl I'm driving with stealth is a plus!
