I'm confused... I want to tint my windows, but there's so many different percentages and numbers about tinting. Everyone is telling me to go 20% tint, but I want it darker than that. What are all the percentages and all that about? help!
Window Tint..... - 6G Celicas Forums
the hatch is what jacks the price up because its soo big

the lower the percentage the darker the tint, 2.5% is the darkest i know of and it goes up like 5%, 10% 15% 20% 25% etc.

the % is the ratio of light let out vs light let in if i remember correctly. i have 15% tints and i wouldnt go any darker. 5% is a limo tint and youre asking to get pulled over if its that dark.
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.
I've got 5% all around and honestly I don't recommend it lol. It's really hard to see when its raining or at night if theres no street lights. It does look really, REALLY good though

actually they can make it as dark as you want..
If you want darker than 2.5% they can put a double
layer and it would be HELL of dark to see even during the day.
I would NOT recommend that at ALL! 5% is dark enough, it
alone is a challenge to see through at night.

I just have my rear hatch window & rear sides done as the visibility is then no worse than driving a van.
Also the UK police a hot on dark tints on the driver & passenger windows so it's not worth the hassel of me doing the fronts.
