I have 5% on my car and at night when I go to turn into a corner, I cant see anything at all. What can I do besides take off the tint? Any tips?

 

I drive with my windows cracked a lot...(as in rolled down just a little bit...) but if you are in NJ, that might not be as reasonable as it is in GA, it's warm down here...

But usually, if it's chilly, I just leave it cracked enough to let a little light in, helps out some.

 

pray the whoever is screaming towards you is using their headlights! or just crack the windows and blast the heat. if you use the foot heater and only crack the windows until the mirror part hits the doorsill part, the heat will rise enough to warm your body while your face gets all the cold air.

 

Uh, just gotta get used to it. Try backing out of my garage, when you live in the city and your neighbors house is 10ft next to your house, and your garage is behind your house. I usually end up rolling down the windows.

Its a small price to pay - to look soo good

 

Im gonna be getting my windows tinted black soon on my 97 z.......just wondering, what is the best percent to get them tinted at?

ive got 15, and thats pretty dark, some say if you tint, may as well get the most and get the 5. thats too much for sides though. i have 5 on the rear and its hard to see when i reverse.

 

Will a cop pull ya over for having that much tint??? I think the legal limit is like 35 percent here in indiana.

its hard to see period.. backing up is the suck.. i have clear corners and when i have my turnsignals on.. the hyperwhite bulb actually kinda lites the corner up a tad its nice

 

Ive had a tad darker than legal limit (35%) here in Indiana for a while now even on my 86 z28. Have yet to be bothered.

 

i had 5% all aound on my 95 and couldnt see worth a **** at night. now on my 98 i have 5% on the back and 15% on the sides. its a really good combination.

 

yes cops will pull you over specificly for tint being too dark. they have this device with a led in in that reads the darkness of the tint, and if you fail, you can either remove it or take the fine and chance getting pulled over again. it is a threat to any police officer to advance a vehicle and not be able to see the driver or if there are any passengers, and what they are doing.

 

you bunch of idiots, the reason it's illegal is just because the whole reason this thread was started, because you can't see a damn thing at night and that is dangerous. I don't why everyone refuses to get the legal tint, tint is tint i mean they aint much difference between 35% and 5%, there really isn't because the windows still look black from the outside.

 

Take the tint off... that is your only option.

I used to drive a car with 5% tint. While it was extremely cool looking in the day, it was EXTREMELY dangerous at night. I now go with nothing darker than 20%.

 

Ditto.

On both of my Camaros ('81 and current '02) I've had them tinted 35% on the sides (legal limit in Ontario AFAIK) and 20% on the back. From the outside, they look "black" until you stare, then you can see through. But from inside, visibility isn't really that bad, and even at night I can still see pretty good out the back.

Only on a show car, or a rarely driven / mostly DAY-time daily driven car would I put <20% all around................it's just not worth the "potential" hassle from cops, or the poor night-time visibility.
