10% is about the same effect as sunglasses. . . ever wear sunglasses at night? My bro's car in Thailand is tined 10% on the windshield, and 5% on the rest of the windows (cops don't care if you got a bling ride). You can't see AS WELL, but you can see SOME when the tint is THAT dark. But he's got a hired chaffeur and it's his @ss if he crashes. I personally would never go beyond 30% for any windows in the front.

Thanks for the link mancide. It says that it was updated in June 2004, but I still have to ask if that info is correct...There is no tint allowed on any vehicles post-1998 in PA?? Anyone from PA know anything about this?

DOING IT TOMORROW!!!

putz

what percent are you getting?

20%

i tint windows. ask a person who sees and deals with cars everyday. you can't beat the look of 20%. it is such a classy look. when you go down to 5%, it makes the car look cheap. it may be just an opinion of mine, but it's an opinion from someone who saw a lot. my tc is 20% all around and 50% on the windshield (only to block uv and heat)

Can y'all post some pics of the different percentages? My state limit is 30% all 'round, but I think I may want it darker so I'd like to see the difference in 20% compared to 30% if possible. Any pics are appreciated! Thanks!

on my previous car, 2002 MINI, i had 5% rear 3 and 25% fronts...

A month before I traded it in, I recieved a $110 ticket.

I lived in SoCal at the time. 20% is ILLEGAL. The legal limit in CA was somewhere around 89%.

You tint, you risk tickets.
You get a ticket, you have to remove violating tint. Sometimes they make you remove ALL of it.
This of course equals More $$$ outta your pocket, and time, and all that goes with dealing with the police and courts, etc...

sciongirl81, how dark is your tint percentage-wise?

franktherank

I always had my windows tint in the past...

I was pretty lucky, I never ticketed once...

I am not getting my windows tint this time on my tC. Love to have it tint, but most of my tint in the past, I ran into quite a few problems... got scratches from car washes... edge started to come off after a couple of years... tint places cause rattle on the door they work on... windows seems to roll up a lot slower after tinted... one of the power window broke after couple of years... tint was all scratched up... :twisted:

Just too much problem... Not getting tint this time...

Good luch to you all that decided to get yours tinted.

yeah. . . my main concern is with scratching, which usually isn't covered by their warrantees. I'm not sure about the tC, but the xA and xB do not have a felt lining under the dirt protector on widshield, so any dirt caught in there may scratch the window(at least so I'm told. . . been too lazy, yes lazy, to actually check and I usually forget to anyway).

I think you'll be happy with 20%. That's what I got on my tC, and I love it. It took awhile for me to get used to it, though, and it's still not easy to see through the windows at night. If there's not at least a streetlight somewhere nearby, I can't see a damn thing. Be careful about backing up at night.
