window tint help and fast
ok so i have my windows tinted 20-25% in the back and (had) the front tinted 40%, the little triangle window is still 40%, i ended up getting a ticket for speeding but he let me go with just giving me a fix it ticket for the tint. now my question is. i know you can double up tint as long as its not a roll up window. now i want to tint the front window either 50% or 35% nomatter what because im getting both tint shades. but im planning on either blacking out the front triangle and the back side window (not roll up) with 5% or do you think i should do the math and try to double up the tint to make it look 5% in the front with 20% over 40%? and 35% over 20-25% tint in the back window so it will look darker in the back but not tinting the rear window dark so i will b able to see fine at night. i need help!
i love how his car looks. he has 18% on everything but the windshield and 50% in the front windows

Im in cali so 70 is the darkest u can get. I think i might just go with 50% to get it as close as i can. I also might not mess with the back and just get the front done. Now the big question now would b shuld i get 20% over the 40% on the little triangle windows or should i just black them out with 5%?

On my car (the car above) I have 18% on all of the rear windows, 50% on the two front windows and 5% on the tiny quarter windows (and used to have a 5" 5% shadeband across the top of my windshield before I had to get it replaced)
edit... thank you, i haven't looked at that pic in a long time, I think my car looks a lot better now

Omg thank u so much for letting me know that the front window was 5% bec i almost ordered 20% and that wuldnt have looked the same as urs. Now the other question i ask is shuld i just get 50% or get 35% in the two roll up windows in the front?
I guess you're looking for just an opinion. I say go ahead and put tint over those tiny quarter windows. It wouldn't matter. I never use those windows so they seem pointless to me. They might as well be blacked out. I'm surprised Honda even put an air vent there. I personally wouldn't want to double up on tint with any other window. I would just have a shop remove the unwanted tint and then apply the desired darkness.

I say just put 5% tint over your 40% on those small windows too. I've thought about just putting black vinyl over them on the inside. So that's another option to black them out.

On your front windows you already know what it is like having 40%. Personally given my hindsight I kind of wish I had 35% up front. So I would say go with 35% but this is a matter of your own opinion. 50% up front looks legal. I never get questioned about my tint (given I have been pulled over approx. 6 times). Do you want it to appear legal or do you want it a shade darker?

Well if 70% is what is legal in your area. I would suggest to go with 70%, if you fix(removed) your tint and had the officer sign the "fix it" ticket then you went out to tint the windows again. Doing this, your car can get impounded because you lied basically lied. And no officer will sign your fix it ticket if you still have tint on your car. You will need to remove everything before they sign the ticket.

xonexlifex What are you thinking? You get caught speeding, the officer cuts you a break and you want to scoff on the deal... explain your position here, please.

I have 35% front and 20% rears. Blacked out corner windows could be nice but I think the shades changing would look funny, maybe not though? Up to you what to do.
Off that why not just pay the ticket? Here in VA cost is only bout $50. Cost me $230 for tint. Charge is not a moving violation, and stripping and retinting is more expensive. I just got both speeding and tint charges. Paid them both? You did it not cop.

I'm quite amazed by this whole thread... May I ask how old you are and what you do for a living??
With all due respect, this isn't necessarily a good rule to live by and, though you are free to 'get as many as you want', such disregard will certainly bite you in the ass again and again and the basic point of view is guaranteed to become expensive.
As far as i know with experience from others fix it tickets are totally different then regular tickets. U can get as many as u want, people pay them off all the time. I just wanted to get mine done so i dont get hassaled again so thats y im going a shade lighter.
