well im getting the cobalt tinted all around, but i im not sure how dark to go.
so far, i am thinking 35% front and 20% back. It is a must to have a lighter tint on the front becasue any tint on the front windows is illegal here. For the back, i want the darkest tint i can get, but still be able to see outside at night in bad conditions (rain). So what would you guys suggest?
Thanks
i have 50 on the front, 30 on the back sides and 15 on the back glass. i think it's perfect.
man if ur tinting all windows tint them the same % it dosent look right with dif % on dif windows and if ur worried about the law just go 35% all around
mine's 5% all around besides windshield

I got my back window limo tinted & will get the backs ones done also. Here you have to have I think 35% in the front so pigs can see if your white or black.

This is the set up I have. 35% up front is AZ's legal limit and 20% is darker, but but as drastically darker as limo (5%). Check out pictures of my car if you want to see what the tint combo looks like.
That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

i wonder who gave you that idea?
here is a good comparison pic
50 on the front, 30 on the back sides and 15 on the back for Fitz
20% in the back and 35% in the front for me...i only got pulled over because i was in a rich neighborhood....i haven't been bothered since...i got to say it does get a bit for the front windows at night.

well i assume he meant canadian $ but 280 is still fair price imo.. if you go to the cheap places you risk having them do a shitty job and/or use shitty film. i paid $300 for mine..probably could have gotten it cheaper but the installation is perfect so fuq it
yeah i know but i went to the best place in my town....lifetimewarranty on tint...if it ever messes up bubbles up or turns purple i can go to then and they will do it free of charge. they used good tint also...i forget the name but i was on the website and it was vere legit.
