remember ur interior color affects how dark the tint 'looks'

 

It was taken at sunset so there's not a whole lot of light but when comparing to the wife's 20% I'm almost positive it's not 35. o well, I like it as it is. Not too dark, not too light. No issues seeing out of it at all.

 

I didn't think they had cars in 208. Brings new meaning to "horsepower."

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I have an 08 Blue Slate G35x with graghite interior. I'm about to get 35%. That's the darkest allowed in the state and since my wife is a cop, probably wouldn't be the best to get darker. Having said that, I think the 35% looks really good on the Blue Slate and is a good mix between being too dark for me and not dark enough. Even if we could get 20% in the state, I doubt I would.

 

I went with 18% Carbon over Llumar Titanium and Diamond tint.

35% windshield 15% everywhere else... highly recommended

 

I just had my car tinted (I have black on black) with 35% (except the windshield) Llumar film...one word...awesome!!!

 

i have ur color and ur rims, and i wish i had gone darker, i got 35%, should have done 20%

 

my first tint job i asked for 35% and he gave me 20%...found out by getting a ticket two weeks later. two of my friends got 35% on their rides a week after my ticket, and they regretted it big time since both had black cars...now they both rock only 5%...some double 5%...i like mine right at 20% though, it's perfect...and negative on the windshield tinting, either you're a vampire, fugly as hell, or not carrying narcotics because you'd get pulled over in a heartbeat

 

HAHA

 

Dont do drugs... have a very attractive girl...still recommend the windshield...

HAHA!

but that was a funny post!

 

I have a 50% percent on my front windshied and honestly people cant tell. The point of the front windshield is to keep out a lot of the heat. Why does everyone hate on it so bad?

 

What's the easiest way to find out what's legal in a given state? I live in Texas and don't know where to find the laws regarding tint levels.

 

Go on the web and look up legal tint %'s. Also, the windshield tint does keep a lot of the heat out, and GO DAWGS!
