Non tinted shield vs 15% on the way home from the shop

From the outside 15%

Rear is suppose to be 8% but I can't tell a difference between it and the roll ups

I'm doing 15% all the way around + eyebrow. Although it's still illegal in NV, my tint guy says it's the lowest you can go and still maintain full visibility at night.

My wife has 20% in front and 5% on back 3 windows on her MINI. It's dark, you cannot see in the car from the outside and at night you might as well be in a coffin. I'll try to get pictures for you.

Yeah night is semi sketchy when driving around I have almost missed seeing people in cross walks in the dead of night out of the roll ups but that's very rarely. Any tint is illegal here in NJ and at school in PA anything lower than 35% on the roll ups is illegal but I'm still looking for more dark lol

As long as you roll with your windows cracked at night in congested, populated areas you should be okay. It will allow you to see sidewalks and rear views clearly. The last thing you want to do is kill someone in a crosswalk because you like dark windows.

Btw, th 5% on the dodge was sick. You couldn't see in unless you had your face and a light up against the window.

Head, flipping off cops, sex, sex the game (see a headlight out, tap roof, whoever touches last takes a piece if clothing off)

My medical exemption allowed me to tint the dodge and keep it like that up until a month before it got destroyed. At that point they changed the medical exemption from "any" to 40% or lighter.

I got a lot if this though.

That's sick, you can still see shadows with my 15 but no faces but I want no body to be able to see anything

Edited that post. Read


Also, single cabs look darker with less tint.

5 on the back, 15 sides and 35 windshield and it'll be dark as fuck.

Well I'm almost there then I got quoted 90-110 for a full shield by a shop out in PA but the guy said "cash only, after hours, no receipt, I don't know you and you don't know me." :whoa:

I had double 5 all the way around on my truck and audi. only averaged a tint ticket about once per year. then cut back to double 5 on back, single 5 on fronts, no tint tickets until I moved to CA.
Sparks PD were always the issuing department.
In ca ive had only 2 tickets, one on each vehicle in the 2 1/2 years ive lived in rocklin.
