Tint or No Tint
QUOTE (shark2)
wait am i getting it backwards?
15% tint as in there is 15% of tint or 15% of light transmission?

a 15% tint only lets 15% of the light that hits the outside Thru the film. 15% light transmission.
Some tint looks good.. I think on a dark car it ties the looks together.. on a light car it adds a nice bit of contrast... but I personally would not do any more than you absolutly need. When it starts interfering with seeing out of the car.. especially at night.. it is a hazard and I think you should get a ticket and be forced to remove it.

Screw the tint laws..
I was pulled for my tint (I don't think it's even legal to pull for something like that but anyway) and forced to remove it or get a ticket. Gotta love cops with nothing better to do.

Next comes 35% on windshields laugh.gif
You probably haven't had problems because cops know you need that tint in NV during the Summer. But I don't think windshield tint is legal anywhere, so that may get you the attention you've been missing. wink1.gif

Yeah, definately don't do it yourself unless you've done it a lot before. I've never seen a good DIY tint job.
me and my friend started tinting 3 years ago on his S10, we did a really bad job..it's hard. however..i've tinted probably 5-10 cars since then, and i'm getting really good now. me and him tinted the entire tib with ZERO bubbles or anything. since i've tinted cars before, I know what i'm doing. you CAN do a GOOD DIY tint job.
all you have to do is TAKE YOUR TIME, do it in good weather, and NEVER stop squeegeeing (?) smile.gif
if you follow those steps you can't mess it up. it's kind of like interior painting..don't go fast.

Screw the tint laws.. Ive got 15% front/pass and 5% everywhere else on my tib.. Just got my Grand Prix tinted tonight, 5% on all windows (except windshield).. Ive never been hassled even when Ive been pulled over.. Here legal is 35% driver/pass, anything on rears..

I went with your approach last year with my tints, i got pulled over about once every two months. (3 times, during the 6 months of summer)
I HATE PIGS !!!!!!!! mad.gif Anyways i'm probably goin darker this summer just to spite those fvcks.
