15-20% Window Tint Pictures?

Once I get my car back from the shop, and it's running awesome, like before. I plan on doing window tint, the guy who had it before Me had really dark tint on but got pulled over and had to remove most of it. I think it's going to cost about $200 bucks for the only reputable place around here, and I want to go 15-20% all the way around, I think 20 is legal, but I'm not too worried about it. Because in my area the cops are pretty good, as long as it's not like 5% tint.

I was also wondering the differences between Limo tint, and regular tint, is Limo more expensive? And is that where you can see perfectly on the inside, but on the outside it looks dark?

Any pictures and information would help a lot.

Re: 15-20% Window Tint Pictures?

I'm no tint expert but I've always considered "limo tint" to be just "dark" tint... like 5% tint. It's not a brand or anything... just a slang for very dark tint

In my area 30% is what is legal for the sides. I have 20% all the way around and have not been bothered. However, when you have darker than legal tint and you get pulled over, give the cops some respect and ROLL DOWN your windows immediately. Put yourself in their shoes and you probably wouldn't want to walk up to a car you couldn't see inside of either. If you roll down your windows immediately, it is likely your tint will not even be an issue even if it is darker than what is legal for your area.

Here are some pics of my cars. Each one has 20% all the way around.

I think i have one pick of my car and it has 20%. But its a black car so it makes the tint look darker than it really is. If you give me you email address i can send you a pic, since i cant post them on here for some reason.

I believe I also have 20 all around. I just know it is illegal for the sides but wanted it the same as back. All I do is roll both windows down when I get pulled over and it's never a worry. Except 1 time when the motor went and I couldn't roll it down.

I could put chrome Corvette wagon wheels there.. but the sig is not totally wrong they are just the wagon wheels from 97-99 not the later thin spoke design. Hopefully I'll be able to change my sig someday to say iForged Aeros lol

Re: 15-20% Window Tint Pictures?

i did 20 in the back, and 35 on the sides in hope that i could get my car passed for inspection. 35 % is legal limit here and my sides registered at like 28 or 29 % because of the stock tint. I wish i had just done 20 % the first time around. Im lookin to redo the side windows to 20. The 35 looks not very tinted at all, but i think the 20 is perfect in every aspect. Not too dark, so you wont back into stuff, but its still dark enough to not see in easily.
