wait! so you're getting the triangles in the front tinted really dark, then the front windows pretty light, and then the back windows really dark?

get the little triangle windows tinted light like the front windows! i haven't seen anybody tint their fit dark, then light, then dark; but i am using my imagination and i think it might not look too great. but maybe i'm wrong.

technically those little triangle windows are part of the windshield so they're not supposed to be tinted at all. i agree with the above poster about dark-light-dark probably looking funny. that said, i have 5% all around the back and 50% driver/passenger and it looks great. post pics!

^yea the same rules would apply to those small triangle windows as to the driver/passenger windows and windshield.

55 to 5 seems like a pretty drastic diffrence between windows. 55 is going to be realy light, compared to 5, might even be hard to tell its tinted. 5 is going to be tricky to see out of at night and I dont know the tint laws where your at but I realy hope that it fall with in legal limits or you will be getting tickets left and right.

hey guys, i got them done but after the tint shop, i had to go to a friends house. so no pictures yet. i'll post pictures later today.

in california, the fronts shouldn't be tinted at all that's why i chose the 55. the little triangle windows bother me, they look awkward. ok, be back in a few, i'll post pictures.

5's all around would be hella dope. I could pick my nose to my heart's content or just stare at people on the next lane on stoplights.

its nice, not my style but still nice, yet i bet your going to get pulled over within 2 weeks if theres any cops in the vicinity, i doubt there giving breaks to that tint lol

and ehh... it looks awkward to see a dark spot on a "light" window, maybe if your car was black, it would be betta, but thats just me -shrugs- but damn, 5% lol i would LOVE to have that if it werent for cops lol tell me, what did the guy in the shop say? did he warn you? lol

in california you can have 75% tint on your front side windows. it's a myth that you can't have any at all.

No. You can't have any ****ing at all. How do I know? I was ticketed for front windows and a cop told me after I was ticketed. Other than that I dare you go challenge the courts on that. You must live on an indian reservation. Myth my ass. All tint shops are also required to tell you that front window tints are ILLEGAL if you want them! Numerous shops I asked told me all the same.

5% tints are also called "limo tints." I've seen hella cars in my city that have much darker tints than i do up front, they seem fine to me. you're from LA where the car Nazis are, sucks where you live.
