from what i have been told (atleast here) is you can have the back windows as dark as you want. heck you could paint them if you really wanted to. but i am not sure on what percentage is legal for the fronts. maybe 40% but not exactly sure. personally i don't want too dark because i can't see out the rear window at who's following me. i drove my friends civic a couple weeks ago and he had some really dark rears and i had the hardest time trying to drive. i am thinking maybe 50% all around on mine if even that dark.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
just how dark is 35%? or 20%? anybody with pics?

depends on the day. 35 is visible in a good sunny day from the outside, and it looks dark during a cloudy day. 35 you can still see when you drive perfectly.

I'm thinking of just going all 35's to prevent from getting picked on by cops cause there is a lot of anal ones here in NYC. I might risk all 20s so I have to see. Right now charging me 275 is too much and i'll most likely wait it off till summer.

Is $275 too much for Professional Done Tint using Carbon Film with 100% lifetime warranty guarantee?


i paid 250 for 15% all around with lifetime warranty.

if your going to tint i would get darker than 35%. that wouldnt be worth it to me. and whatever you do, dont mix and match tints, looks horrible

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
Mine was 130 for 15%

Hey guys do you know what type of tints (brand) they use? We have so much different pricing range that I'm definitely sure its the brand that differs the prices.

actually, I would think it would be the cost of hourly labor that would vary the price. a tint job costing $200 in new jersey would probably cost $300+ in california.

I think my mom got just the back windows tinted on her 05 accord for like $275 or so.

The quality of the tint increases the price by a lot. crap-quality tints either rips easily or turns purple withing a matter of months as opposed to better quality ones where u dont need to keep comming back to get it fix
WI has no inspections... least not in my area (NW WI) but, last i heard legal tints here were 50 for the front and 35 for the rears.
hey i have 15% all around, i havnt had problems with the cops , its good looking and help in the day , but at night i sometimes have trouble seeing out...

How far can it take you. The real question is. How far are you willing to go ?
