i guess i could see that happening if it wasn't tempered glass, trapping heat in between the panes and such... i'll look if the sunroof is tempered next time the roof isnt COVERED IN SNOW
however, i would think even if it wasn't tempered, that it would take either a lot of stress and heat(arizona/vegas heat) or a long time or both to do that.

i would DEF say that you want to keep the percentage constant, or at least very close,like within 5% of each other. otherwise it's noticeable and IMHO looks ehhhhhhh

 

35% all around..comes up 27% on the meter. No probs yet (knock on wood)

 

i roll a charcoal 20% that LOOKS more like a 25% but still gives the light obstruction of a 20%. never had a single problem

 

35% all around. Don't forget interior color makes a difference on how dark the tint appears. My car with wheat looks lighter than my friends with graphite and we both have 35%.

 

I am getting mine tinted soon, I have a twilight blue coupe with willow interior, and I'm going 10 or 15% on the back and 20 on the front. I think anything more then 20% with willow interior is to light.

 

have 5% rear and 50% fronts... chp pulled me over because he thought my fronts were just as dark (at least that's why i thought he pulled me over since he was to car lengths behind on the main expressway while i was merging in from the right)... had to remove due to fix-it ticket. its gonna be hot as hell up front now.

I live in the Bay Area in Calif and my window tint is 25% all the way around for these warm summer days. The same with my Limited Ford Explorer in the garage.
Doggy.....WooF WooF

 

I wouldn't do that. With a black interior pulling off 2 shades of tint is easy, with light interior it will be blatantly obvious!!

 

5% all around, havent had any problems yet.

 

That's true, I never thought of that. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

 

I'd stick to one shade all around.


I have seen people do a dark shade on the rear glass only and then lighter on the side. But then i saw someone who had put a lighter shade on the rear and darker on the side. Helps backing out

I personally wouldn't go any darker than 20% tint. Even with 35% film you can barely see inside. What more do you need to hide?

 

My 20% charcoal, which like I said is lighter than a 20% black, is hard to see out of in a semi-dim parking lot. I wouldn't go much darker than 20% personally.

Here's a pic of my TB/Willow with 20%

 

I think i have -5% tint cuz i have double limo tint all around and i have my front windshield tinted as well @35%.

 

You do realize negative percentages aren't possible right? The percentage is how much out of 100% of total light is passed through the tint film. For example, a 20% film blocks 80% of light, and lets 20% through.
