Ill be getting my car tinted here after christmas .. What do you all recommend on my car.
I live in west virginia

 

legal

 

i would do either med tint or 35% i have 5 % limo on mine and only been pulled over 10 times lol i have a lot of tickets so stick to lite tint

 

do the legal % or go 5% less
here its 35% and i got 25ish% no one has pulled me over yet for it

 

same here when I had 13%

 

I have 20% all around and dont get bothered for it. I live in the Charleston area.

 

there is NO point in going 5% less... why go that small of a decrease and fail

 

I went with legal. 35% in front and 20% for the rear 3 windows. Looks good and I can still see at night.

 

Mine's at around 5% all around sept for the windshield wich is done at 30% with a reflective tint. It's not actually reflective it's grey or something like that... I dunno... high end stuff that looks different. I LOVE it. It's OMG illegal but I've had it since august with no problem. If you were to go this route, Just don't drive like a dick and if you do get pulled over even if its for something stupid like a ride check have your window down BEFORE they get to you. Yes, they will have seen it already, but it's respect to the cop to have it down and your car shut off anyways. Shows you have absolutely nothing to hide.

Mine was at 35% all around minus the windshield (which hadn't been done yet) and it did look good. I got mine done so dark as I was driving ON - NH every other weekend and was having problems with truckers on the interstate. Lone female on an interstate and ignorant truckers = not a good time. This tint COMPLETELY eliminated that.

I've been pulled over once (not for tint)
Had 2 OPP cruisers approach me (just to see what we were doing... we were taking pics on a scenic road)
Had 2 OPP cruisers pull in on either side of me in a parking lot
Was at an accident scene that a family member was part of
Been through 2 ride checks

and none of these times has cops said anything to me.... maybe its just luck? Now I DO NOT drive through high school zones during school hours with it and I am dreading the day I get stuck in a safety check and don't see it to the last moment. I have been pulled over in ON with my bf's lincoln which has 20% all around but the car was registered in New Hampshire so there was **** all he could do about it and he even admitted it. I think he was just bored and wanted to check the sexy car out That was in a high school zone so it may have been that the car looks like a drug car to in those scenarios haha

 

My .02...go to an established tinting company. One that has been in business for a few years or more at the same location. Chances are they are still in business because they do a good job. Let them tell you what the legal limits are -- most will even put a sticker inside your door to verify the tint is legal -- you show that to the police if they question your window tint. Get the life-time warranted tint too -- might be a little more $...you get what you pay for.

 

OP, if you're willing to drive I got mine done at Barracks Auto Accessories in Charleston. They have been doing the same thing for like 60 years and they are damn good at it. I payed $168 for 20% all around.

 

i am thinking about doing 20% all around... legal limit in NY is factory tint on the doors, aka 70%

 

Eh i got 20% all around. I believe the legal limit in missouri is 35 percent. not sure. But 20 should do well for ya. nice during the day, and even sweeter at night.

 

i got 5% on the back 3 windows and 35% on the doors



im probably gonna go a little darker on the doors though

 

I have 5% on the rears, 30 on the doors, and 5 strip on front. The doors can't be 30 tho.. they look WAY darker than 30.

 

definatly darker tha 30^

 

nice antenna dman !! dont worry mines the same way. but to the OP legal

 

I'd definitely recommend 20% back (limo tint is way too dark IMO). On front 35-40%, blocks the sun just right.

This is 20% back, 35% front:

 

Im just going to play it safe and get 30%

 

You're not playing it safe then...WV allows 35%, not 30%.

Again, best to check with a reputable tint company -- you have to remember that the windows already have some tint (around 2%) and that can affect what you put on your car. Of course, it won't matter if you don't get pulled over and checked by the law...

Check this sticky for your state:
