either way i enjoyed learning about window tint today

5% is typically called LIMO Tint
35% is the Darkest Tint Allowed in most states

im going 5 on sides and on windshield strip
and 35's on windshield and back window.

that way when the popo come you can roll down them 5% windows. : D

lol

Too drunk by Buckcherry came out last year and I know your not still in your teens but I still had to bring it up.

Now the party was jumpin'
And the girls were fine,
With the lipstick summer glaze!

I got so many women
Comin' after me
I put some p***y on lay-away.

I was smoked out,
Torn up,
Drunk as f***
And I wouldn't want to change a thing!

Young and dumb
And full of cum
With the sugar loaded candy cane!

I could spend my lifetime gettin' high,
Never wantin' to live in a suit and tie!
Most of us are just livin' a lie!
Trying to get f***ed up every night!

DR the difference could also be in the type of film used. For example, most dyed films are darker than ceramic or metallic based films. Tmoses is correct, the lower the number the darker the film. I bet your right, your friend probably tinted over the factory tint on the rear windows making making his front tint appear darker.

Oh and NHT, "rolling down the windows" doesn't work man! I tried that as a kid and the cops just tell you to roll it back up, so they can use their light meter to test the tint percentage. Getting a "Fix it Ticket" is a pain in the %^$! Honestly with the set up you favor, you might as well spray paint the windows black!!!

If you are set on tinting the windshield get 50 or 70% then 20% on the sides. It'll still be plenty dark. The 35% and 5% you want is too dark, even with your young 16yr old eyes. You'll thank me the first time it rains, especially at night.

ok thanks man

*bbomar* · 04-29-2009, 05:21 PM

Has any mentioned that the lower the number, the darker the tint??

NateHeartsTitans · 04-29-2009, 05:21 PM

Clinttttt · 04-29-2009, 05:23 PM

I have 5% all around and 15% on the entire windshield.
Looks great, cops hate it.

You've got to watch out for the sarcasm. Didn't you see this little face rolling around(its the rolling on the floor laughing smilie) ?

Noticing stuff like that and not posting stuff like that will make your life easier. And I personally like 10% total tint on the backs and 35% on the front driver and passenger windows. Easy to see the side mirror when your driving at night cause you can't really use the rear view mirror with 10% in the back and its a little bit passed legal for Ohio but not enough to really notice.

edit:and way to beat me to the sarcasm bit Tmoses lol

NateHeartsTitans · 04-29-2009, 05:46 PM

35? what is the back window stock tint?

*bbomar* · 04-29-2009, 05:47 PM

*bbomar* · 04-29-2009, 05:48 PM

Factory is not a tint!!

The smoked glass is at 18-20 %
