5% How I miss you!


Civic has 50% at the front and 15% everywhere else because the 5-0 rolled me and I had to get it fixed up.

u do know the higher the percentage the lighter it is right?
isn't it the other way around? the % described is the tint % (not the light coming im) so the larger the % the darker it is right? correct me if im wrong...

tnk is right.....the smaller percentages means more light blocked.

ex: 5%....you can think of it like 5% light allowed in or 95% light blocked out.

but yeah smaller numbers mean darker tint. popular percents are 5(limo tint), 30, 35

Don't know the % where i did mine, they only ask me if I wanted "light, medium or dark" I chose medium and they did the all the windows and sunroof except for the front one.
Where: Tijuana, Mexico
$$$$$: $50

I had them for over 2 years now and they still look good=)

Seksi...Bmyers, that EP3 looks hot. I hope I see it sometime soon...But anyways, I'm thinkin 50% in front, 5% windshield strip, and nothing below 15% in the back but nothing more that 35%. I'm just worried about night time! haha.Suggestions?Night pics of trying to reverse?

dude...dont worry about visibility....i have 5% in the back and rear windows and i see just fine...never have had a problem. i do have 20/20 vision though so maybe that helps.

50 in the front blows ass....check the rules for illinois and i sugggest you go as low as they allow. i would have gone lower in the frton but michigan only allows 35 in the front 2 windows...otherwise it would have 5% all around for me.

5% back 20% fronts, 20% sunstrip ... been pulled over once in 2 years and that was cause it was 3 in the morning and she used it as an excuse to pull a sobriety test .... after i blew a .000 she just gave me a verbal warning. (California says 70% fronts, and sunstrip can only be 6", mine is 10")

Not sure how much just the tint was, removal of old tint on back 3 windows, a pager alarm, and new tint was $500

when i had my old white eg, i had 5% in the back and 20% in the front and it was kinda scary backing up at night because you could hardly see s**t especially if there is no light. i think i'll be going witha 35% all around with my new car.

yea its not that dark but does keep some of the light out...my car would look nice with 20% tints if i had black rims but i have gunmetal gray...and i think the lighter tint looks nicer with it...plus i dont want punk kids wondering what i have in my car and breaking my window to find nothing there...thats just me...bad past experiance's :???:
