i am looking to get 5% tint all around my vehicle. Who has 5% tint on this forum and do you guys like it. Do you have any regret going that dark? I'm just worried about the night time driving. How bad is it?

 

If you're worried about driving at night... then it's not a good idea to go that dark... your brain is trying to tell you something here... it'd probably pay to listen.

 

thats wayyyyyyyyyyyy to dark....
1. Cops will kill you for it.
2. You cant see **** at night.
3.The cops will kill you it.

edit: what do you need it so dark for? You a dope dealer?

 

i really like the looks of it, plus i like the privacy, i think 15% tint is to light.

 

i have 5% all over and 30% on the whole front windsheild only been pulled over once for it and it is definately worth it nightime driving you get used to it, and keeps what is going on in your car private if you know what i'm saying. I say do it.

 

awesome man, do you have any pictures?

 

I have 5% as well, and I love it!!!!!! The only bad part is backing up at night, sometimes you have to roll the window down. I have a 5% strip on the window and 2 layers of 5% on the small windows in the back. My car is blue and it look GREAT. It is dark here now, I will be glad to take some picks for you, let me know if you want some particular shots.

 

can you just take some shots of your rear view mirror and side mirrors through the tint sitting in the car. Also could you maybe get some pictures the rear side windows as well. Thanks, i really appreciate this.

 

i got 5% and i like it alot i'mma go back to the shop and get it double tinted i want it darker, and yes i have gotten stopped by the cops and they don't tell me **** so i've been lucky and i live in MIA metro dade cops are badd.

 

I have 5 all the way around also and the eyebrow. It's not to bad at night but I have always had dark tint on all my rides so it was really no big deal for me about seeing out. Backing up is really not much different because it's not like you can see a whole lot out the back anyways because of the wing in the way. But it's all a personal choice.

Oh yeah I'm not a drug dealer either all though you might think it if you drove by my house.

 

does anyone have pictures of there 5% tint.

 

anyone?

 

what up man! I got the 5% tint all around. I dont ever have problems seeing. I cant even think of any times i had trouble backing up at night. Its awsome man Im glad i got it. Just sometimes i see a fine chick next to me and i want to put my window down but for some reason thats kind of lame if your jsut cruisin around to go get some mcdonalds. unless your on in the city partying. Oh yea im from New Orleans. The back window bubbles up around all those black dots though. I had to go to another shop to put this special adhesive over those dots and the adhesive blends perfectly with my 5%. Im planning on posting pics of my ride in a few days after i get my new rims put on.

 

dont get your whole front window tinted 5% you wont see anything out of it.... sometimes i have to roll my windows down so i can see out them




.

 

Well IMO 5% is way to dark i live in ohio and 35% is the legal limit i went with 15% becasue it still has a darker apperance and looks really good and is NOT as difficult to see at night but its still dirricult. just my 2 cents

 

oh and my windshield is 5% too and its great. Keeps my dash from baking with the armorol on it. Keeps it cooler in there too! But yea the windshield is my fav part.

 

I don't know where you got the information about 35% being the legal limit in Ohio. You are wrong about that, I live in Ohio also and have had tint on all of my cars so far since I used to work for a few car audio shops I got deals on tint. The legal limit in Ohio is 50%, and that is without the little bit of factory tint that comes on cars with A/C. 50% just looks like dirty windows, in my opinion it's not even worth the money. All my cars have had 5% limo tint all around except for the windshield. When I would get stopped I would just have them peel it at work, take it to the police station at lunch to show them it was gone. Then go back to work and have it put back on again.

 

i have 5 all way around an 20 on frt wishield have pics but im at work will post when i get home

 

Here are some pics, two of the pictures were taken with the camera against the galss, and it looks like a normal picture. The pictures from the inside of the car seem to show that the windows are lighter thatn they actually are. The picture of the window rolled down where you can see some thru the glass and some thru air is the best to show just how dark they are. Hope these help!

 

I do. Its dark. Ive had it on all my cars in the past. Its the worst in the winter after the sun goes down. Its like looking into a black wall. You cant see in or out. I have to roll my windows down in the winter when im backing up and stuff.

Im used to it though cuase ive had it like this for years and years.

 

has anyone been pulled over with 5% tint on the cobalt? i'm wondering what the light meter the police use would read on a 5% window of the cobalts since are windows are factory 70%.

 

i have been pulled over three times, twice got a ticket and all three times the meter read 5%

 

oh really, how much were the tickets?

 

one was $60 and one was $70. They were in different counties here in GA.

 

im planing on tinting my 4dr 15% all the way around..and a set of HID's up front..just gotta figure out what bulb size these things have..im new to this car
