I'm getting the windows done on Monday...Legal limit in OR is 35%, and the current plan is to go 35% on all 5 windows.
I've got the *option* to go a bit darker on the back windows, but is 2-tone really the way to go? I personally think it's classier to have an even tint all around, but maybe there's something I'm missing (plus, logically, you *can't* go even all around, unless you tint your windshield, so everyone already has 2-tone)...any opinions?

*edit* considerations:
- my personal preference is to go as dark as possible on a white car...white just looks good with a dark tint
- interior is Stone, so I won't have the "black on black" problem with it looking *too* dark inside.
- safetly and night driving are kinda big considerations, I'm also not sure how I feel about being forced to roll my windows down everytime I wanna back up.

 

Same boat as you. Legal tint in NJ is as dark as you want on everything except the 2 front windows and windshield (Which you cannot have any tint). I think I might do 40% on all 5. I am not a fan of real dark tint.

 

I have an IP coupe....did 35% percent all around...looks real nice, real classy, and best of all - Its not TOO dark that makes your car look ghetto or tough to see out of at night.

Id recomend 35% to anyone...

 

Same here...I have an IP with 35% all around. It looks good. I'm not a fan of the 2 tone tint, either, that's why I decided on what I did. DO IT.

 

I went with 15 & 35 and I like the way it looks.

 

I just bought a black '05 AT, and the dealer made a mistake on the tint by putting 5% all the way around! Not only was this very dangerous at night, but it made me look like a drug dealer . They replaced the 5% tint with 35% all around, and it looks MUCH better.

 

I say 35% sides and 20-30% rear windshield.

 

i think 35% all around looks the best, not too dark, not too light...

 

Well, your car is the reason it's not a "no brainer" for me

I used to think 2-tone was ghetto, but your car looks kickass w/ the 15 in back...that prompted me to take a 2nd look before goin' for it.

I still think I'm gonna go 35% all around, mainly for the nighttime issue. I no longer think that 2 different percentages looks bad at all, but I feel more comfortable w/ an even tint, and a lighter one, all around.

*edit*
Thanks, guys, for the input...I'm tempted to go a lil' darker for the back window, but I'll most likely stick with 35% all around.

 

4% Madico in the rear (called a double limo) on all rear doors and back window
5% Madico in the front
and
5% Madico windshield strip (not pictured due to my new windshield just prior to that pic)

 

I got 50% front, 35% on driver and passenger, 15% on back 3. I think it lokks great, and I've yet to be stopped.

 

Thanks - and its all about what you like on your car.

And the thing is, at night, the difference is barely noticeable unless you stare really long and hard. LOL

 

Any one got any idea how light is it for the legal tint in California? or anyone got picture of their windows with CA legal tint?
