Pic request - BO sedan with 20% or 35% tint

Yes I've searched and looked through the BO sedan picture thread. I see tints but dont know what % people are rolling with.

I'm getting my car tinted next week and would like see some pics of BO sedans with either 20 or 35% tint. Can anybody post up some pics? Thanks in advance!!

Here's my TB with 20% all around. Not the color you're looking for but looks black in some light.

OP, go with 20. IMO, 35 is too light for BO

if you go with 20% and you have black interior your windows will actually become darker ... just keep that in mind ...

i have a DG w/ black interior and i have like 13 0r 15% i don't recall and with my black interior it made it way darker and i can hardly see at night driving ... i mean its bad lol and i haven't had time to get my front done yet .. it will defiantly take some time to get your eyes used to it

20% in the front, double limo in the back.



At an angle the fronts are as dark as the back. In the inside the windows are such a day and night difference, the fronts look like they have no tint on them compared to the back windows.

Even though they changed the law in Cook, I know people who still have been getting tickets so it might be a PITA to have to fight them.

I was told these are 35% all around, but the rear glass is darker was told 20%, so thats why the back seats might look darker ( got the car used) I want to go a bit darker 20-25% all around.

thanks guys. I do have the black interior but I think I am pretty set on going 20%. I know too many people who got 35% installed and wished they went with 20 and had them redone.

Ya alot of cops didnt get the memo regarding the tint law update. Its not just Cook county, the entire state of IL passed legal tints. But the city of Chicago still thinks they can write $250 tint tickets even though the state law has been in effect for months now.

Yeah it's lame because I want to get tints too but don't want to deal with the hassle of them pulling me over. They'll come up with some stupid citation of some sort. Plus it makes you more visible. I drive too fast as it is and cops usually profile people with dark tints.

im rarely in the city with my car so hopefully I will be ok. Out in the suburbs they seem to be more relaxed since the law changed. Its hit or miss.

True. If you do it I'd go to Umbra window tinting. It's in the city but I've heard great reviews and if you're a member over at ChicagoZ they are giving discounts this month and next I believe.
