What tint % do you have??
Getting my windows tinted tomorrow. The plan is 20% on the back and 35% on the side. Can you post a pic with what % you have? Want to make sure I'm not going too dark/too light
|
35% all around on my brz.
Since mine is white, don't want the back darker than the front. Tint guy also recommended it all 1 color especially because of the lower number of windows |
I think the same percentage all around looks better. I dont have tint yet but Im getting 35% all around next month. I dont like dark tint on sports cars.
|
got 35 sides and 55 rear

30% all around except front. You'll want to find a friend or two who has tint done and sit in it to get a feel for how it'll be. Be prepared to have a hard time backing up at night when there's no light around. :) |

Do y'all think 20 will be too dark for the back??
|
I believe there is a tint picture thread. But, mine is not tinted yet but I plan on 20% all aground, it is very dark, but all of my past vehicles had 20%, so I don't change

My suggestion, find someone who has tint on their car at what you're looking for and ask if you can sit in it. Can't really judge from the outside, since looking from the inside out is much different. |
35 tint all around on mine. Sometimes I wish it was darker
|
Stock on mine. I think factory its 75% all around? The cabin is so small on these cars that the sun really isn't too much of an issue. Tint for me is more about protecting the interior for long term care.
|
I used 70% all around...
|
How is visiblity with tint at night? I thinking about getting tint but am concern how visiblity at night especially with the bad blind spot.

Can someone post pics or vid of tint from inside at night please.
|
The way I think of 20% is that you can you see basic outlines of the person inside. At night, it's almost completely black and in direct sunlight it's transparent enough to tell if it's a male or female driver. 35% you could pretty much tell all of the above in all types of light. Obviously anything lower than 20% and you aren't seeing anything (although I find anything less than 20% to be too difficult to drive in at night).
|
Here is a better view (with some light) of my 20%:

Legally in Louisiana we have to have 40% in the front. But that's almost nothing, especially on a dark colored car.
|
15% (Front/Passenger & rear) for me~ takes a bit getting used to. Can't lie i roll the windows down to back into places.

I had LLumar AIR 80 put on the windshield and LLumar ATC 35 on everything else (35% is the legal limit in TN).
One of the benefits that I’ve discovered is that the 35% side window tinting greatly reduces being blinded at night by the headlights of cars behind you reflecting off of the side-view mirrors directly into your eyes… kind of like flipping the rear-view mirror into the night position. |
My previous car (WRX sedan) had 5% on the rear window and two rear passenger windows, 20% on the two front passenger windows and a 20% 4" sunstrip on the front windshield. It was a black car and you couldn't see anything in the back seat from outside. Most of the time driving it around was fine, but parking it at night when you didn't have lights to look at was a bitch. When my new car comes in I'm planning on doing 35%. I think with the fewer windows it will look darker and the car is cool so I don't mind if people can see me driving it. I'm more tinting to keep the sun out and the interior temps down in the summer (plus tinting does look pretty sweet). Personally I won't go darker than 20% again. It's just a pain trying to see anything out of a blind spot at night.

I did 30% all around. Originally was going to go 35%, but, tint guy persuaded me to go to 30%. Loving the look and besides, you can't tint the front windshield other than a strip at the top (I didn't do that).
This helped me somewhat in deciding the level of tint: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...9&postcount=11 Here are the results: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...1&postcount=14 |
35% all around and I think its perfect. It's dark but not to the point of feeling like you're trying to hide and still allows you to communicate your thoughts to other drivers using hand gestures.
|
Here now getting it done. Doing 30% all the way around. Will just pray to little baby Jesus I don't get pulled over for it. :-/ I guess I rather take the chance instead of doing it legal, because legal is so freaking light
|
I'm not a big fan of window tint, but I think I might do it lightly with this car. OEM is 75%? Has anyone done 40 or 50% and can post pics?
|
20% rears 35% front windows
wish I went 20% all around |
