Getting tints what's better? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have 20% on mine and I don't feel it's too much. You do have to remember that the windows have a bit of tint to them to begin with so it will change your numbers. The 20 on my windows reads at 15% with a meter, before the windows were done they read at 75%, so take that into account if you're trying to stay legal.

I have 30%, but I kinda wish I went with 20%. Oh well, my next car will have 20%. I don't think I can own a car without tint from now on.

Just do what Mac and Dennis did when they solved the gas crisis, paint the windows black so noone can see inside or out. looks extra covert and cool

in southern california (pretty sunny) the popular one is 35 on sides and 20 on back.

I have 35% on the front two windows and 25% all the rest of the way around and it looks great. They can't test the rear windows since they cant get tester on them, so do your front two windows legal and the rear ones whatever u want.

I have 35 (legal) all around, this is my car... up to you in the end.

Thanks for your input guys. It's good to know that the car is slightly tinted. I drive mostly in the daytime. I think I'll do 20% Pinnacle Formula One.

I would do anything legal . Effin poopoo pulled me over just a week ago in my other car . $170 ticket for no front license plate and tint too dark( I have 15%) ...

I don't mind spending the $$ for some mods , but for a stupid shit like that I was furious .

I have Formula One Pinnacle 30% on all the windows, and Llumar Air80 on the full front windshield, and I love this combo. It blocks out more heat than standard tint, and honestly, 30% is plenty on these cars. Dark interior combined with the small cabin make it look just right.

I had 15% on my old Toyota Avalon, and though I loved the privacy, it was a pain at night.
