Getting both cars windows tinted this weekend

Hey guys I'm getting the windows on both the G37S & G35S tinted this weekend. I can't decide what % tint I should get. My gut keeps telling me to stick to 35% as to keep the cops from bothering me, but I am not sure if 35% is dark enough for me.

The G37S is Black, the G35 is IP. Any input would be appreciated.

I'm perfectly fine with 35% in washington, but if you like the look of 20%, then go with that. Visibility is still good at night compared to cars with 20%

How well can people see inside your car with 35% tint? Thats my wife's biggest peeve, she hates when people stare into her car lol.

go as dark as you can man.

cops are that that bitchy about tint in our area.

Plus your car is not exactly a ricer. So you will be treated with some respect

Just roll them down when get pulled over and that's it.


I had mine for as long as I had a car and only got ticket once just cuz cop wanted to give me ticket for something.

All the other times I was pulled over nobody never mentioned the tint.

looking though 35 is same as looking though no tint at all.


You can see everything.

On a cloudy day its fine, but on sunny days, you can definetely still see through the tint. Dark tint, won't stop people from staring though, usually it just makes them stare harder. I would go 35% all around with 50% on the windshield for the best compromise

^+1 20 is a good blend if you have a slight worry about police but then again like having your privacy. I had 20 on my old car and loved it....it was dark enough to suite my needs but light enough to keep me outta trouble. although i went with the 5 all around this time....i got alittle greedy, lol. F the police! lol

I've always had 20%. I got pulled over once but i just put 35% on the front 2window's. 20 looks better but if you have a black interior it makees 35% look like its darker.

Went with 20% all around on both cars. The 37 looks amazing with 20%. Also got my taillight overlays installed. 6/10 smoked by Bat. Should have pics tomorrow from the big GG meet.

Do what I did. Get 20% for the rear and 35% for the sides. Depending on the color of the interior, it looks great, imo.
