Can't decide on tint percentage!
 
I have liquid platinum, it's pretty bright, almost white during the day, and looks like the moon at night. I think 20% tint at night or on a rainy day is too dark, but is decent on a sunny day. However I think 35% tint is just right at night, but too light during the day! Can I get 25 or 35% at places???

Having a terrible time deciding, I don't wanna look gangsta, I wanna look classy and sleek and cool. Halp?

Thanks.

20% is the best.

That was my issue. 35% gives a clean look and some slight privacy. I wanted 20% but sometimes 20% just looks WAY too dark and "gangsta". I ended up going with 35% (considering it is legal limit here in GA) and I have a lot of "dang I wish I went darker" then not too much longer I end up saying "man I'm glad I didn't". If there was an in between that would've be great.

So your liking the 35% more then the 20%? I also have a Liquid Plat G35 and still deciding what percentage to go with.

SlickSilverG May 22, 2010 09:07 PM

I like 35% more when its not too sunny out! lol. And I don't like 20% when it's not sunny out.

So 35% at night/cloudy day = nice.
35% during day = ehhh.

20% at night/cloudy day = lil too dark/gangsta/whatchu hiding?
20% during day = niiice.

In numeric terms I really want 27.5%! lol. It's really the whole front windshield causing these problems, if it wasn't so clear, there wouldn't be such drastic changes of how the tint looks throughout the week.

On some level I feel 35% is more grown up? I'm not sure how to describe it. Like it's a g35 I'm driving not an srt4 :p so I don't really need to hide who I am. Know what I mean lol, I just want enough 'cool' on my windows without being overbearing.

I think ill be going with 35%, i dont want it too dark because dark tints on a light car doesnt look right to me.

HI_manalo May 22, 2010 11:56 PM

I've been having the same problem.. can't decide! I'm gonna check out this place thats doing a $150 any car special in my area and see what percentages they carry. Hopefully they have something in between 20 and 35.

iTzTeddy May 23, 2010 12:08 AM

I have 35%, I contemplate all the freaking time why I didn't go with the 20%, I think 20% is good, 35% is way too light for me. I don't know what you guys talking about but sometimes at night I can see in PERFECTLY.

Anthens_G May 23, 2010 12:42 AM

I have 35% all around, and on sunny days, I just want to peel them off and go 20%.
In the long run, the 35% saves me the headaches with the cops...

sillyoldtayo May 23, 2010 10:25 AM

i did 5% on the rear and 20% on the sides. Why not try 20% on the rear and 35% on the sides? Sounds like its in your ballpark. Only reason I would do the back darker is to compensate for the front windshield letting light through. This way your back window still looks about as dark as the sides from directly behind.

SlickSilverG May 23, 2010 02:31 PM

If I went with different tint, I'd try 35% on sides and rear sides, and 20% only on rear, not the rear sides. That way you can't see the contrast with the rear sides being darker than the sides.

But whats with the 15% increments? Is there some society of tinters who said you know what lets seperate tint by 15%. 25 or 30 would be perfect for what I'm looking for, 35% can be too light, and 20% can be too dark, only remedy is to go in between.

HAHA....for once Jibber answered a question with a real (no joke) answer, and he's correct. That would be great not too dark and 20% will keep the summer sun out of your backseat.:NOD:
