Tint too light?

Hi All,

This is 35% legal tint.

At first I thought that it was too light, but it has grown on me.

I prefer IP with darker tints though. But still went with the 35%.

Anyways, I was instructed after the tint was done, that if I saw any imperfections like bubbling etc, to call them. I notice some bubbling and it has been almost a week. I will call them tomorrow.

I was thinking, maybe this would be the perfect opportunity to have them put darker tints on the car. But i am not sure if it would be worth it because it will cost a lot of money to strip the tint and then reapply another film.

I was thinking 23% or 20%.

However, I would like to be able to see out the window druing the night and during rainy conditions etc.

Think I should have gone darker? Let me know what you all think.

Thanks

Do u have any problems with seeing out of your vehicle at night or in rainy conditions or times when there is a film of dirt etc on your windows (from rain, snow, etc?)

What interior tdo u have as well.

I have graphite and that adds to the brighter side of things. I should have gone darker to begin with cause of the lighter interior.

Yes, that is why i like going darker on IP. That 20% looks good.

And yes, that is what i am trying to avoid as well....being ticketed that is...

What is a PBA card?

i think it looks good... i went with a 5% back three and a 20% front two ... with the 5% in the back, at certertain angles it makes the 20% look a lot darker than it is ... but i think im gonna retint to 5% all the way around and 30% front

BTW ... i like your tire/rim setup for the snow !!!

pba stands for patrolmen's benevolent association... it's a card given by your cop friend/relative.. show it to the cop whenever u get pulled over, and he'll let u off the hook.. unless ur speeding like an ***, or DUI.. the card don't do u shyt

Thank you.
I went with a basic and clean setup for the rim package mated with Dunlop WinterSport M3's
