Tint or no tint?
 

Hey all,

I was just wanting to get some opinions about tint. I have a whiteout FR-S and was looking to tint the windows, but I'm not sure if I should go legal or darker. Heck, maybe no tint at all?

If you vote for illegal tint would you please post what %?

Edit: For those interested in what the legal tint limit is in their state here is a link.

Do what you want. I plan on getting 20% even if it's legal or not

I do whats legal here. Which is whatever I want in the back, and the driver/passenger front windows is 20%. That way there are no hassles, I got tired of worrying about it in the past and decided with my last 2 vehicles to stay legal. I'm not sure whats legal in NC so that would maybe swap your decision if its something really high.

35% all around. Any tint here in NJ is illegal (front windows).

Good idea for a thread. I'm on the fence right now but I for sure want tint, just not sure if I want to stay legal or not. I love the look of a dark tint on whiteout but not a big fan of attracting any unwanted attention from the police. I'll probably stay legal simply for that reason alone..

I believe in NC it's 32%.

32% all around? 32% on the front windows is not bad, but I'd be upset if I had to stay with that on the rear windows as well.

20% is legal here in NM. So I got 20% all around. with a strip up front.

I was wrong its 35%

They are pretty serious about tint laws where I live (got pulled over in my last car). So I decided to keep it legal for the side windows (50%) and went with 35% for the rear window since the equipment our police use in my town, they can only check the side windows.

Really depends on how serious the police are with the laws in your area.

tint is a must, I hate driving fish bowls

I stuck with legal. 32% all around in GA. I really don't see a reason for much darker tint so I don't really understand taking the risk of going illegal.
If I were you I'd stick to 35%. Tint really does keep your car cooler (recently switched from a car w/o tint to the FR-S with tint) which is a must in the summers here.

I previously had 20% on my Mazda 3. I'm going to go with 35% on my BRZ to stay on the (closer) to legal side here. Although I prefer the darkness of 20%, it looks substantially darker than 35% and I'd rather not risk a fix-it ticket.

Tint, definitely. (at least for those of us that live in the south and/or have hot summers)

Legal for me. 35% sides, 15% back.
