Tint (15% black car)

Howdy folks. I know theres tint requests everyday but I could'nt find a black camaro with 15% sides and back. SO thats what I need. Pics of a black camaro with 15% tint.

Also, how much does 15% impede your vision. Im ok with rolling down my windows to back up at night, but is it fine during the day? Can you see out the back, say on the highway at night. Ive never been in a car with that dark of a tint so Im kind of in the dark, or not in the dark! Ha! (hideous pun eh?). Also how do you guys look at chicks if they can't see you. I think I'll miss that.

Would everyone recomend or advise against a tint this dark?

Thanks.

I have 5% on the back and 20% on the sides. Its BLACK, u cannot see inside the car at all unless sunshine is coming in from the front of the window. Even then u cant see in all that much. BTW my car is silver.

But to answer your question you should be able to see out during the day and at night as long as there is a streetlight or someone is behind you. It will be fine. And as for the chicks i guess u will have to roll ur window down if u want them to see you.

You should be able to see out the back with 15%, however, if you are going to go illegal with tinting you might as well go all the way!

I've got 35% on the sides and 20% on the back, and it seems like it should be the factory tint. My friend has 20% on the sides and 5% on the back of his T/A, and the visibility doesn't seem much worse than my car, but it definitely looks much darker from outside.

......if you go with 15% all around, I don't think you'll have a problem, and on a black car it will look sweet.

The reason it isnt is because stupid states like Michigan have a "No-Tint-Policy."
(edit: that only applies to the side windows... back can be limo.)

Im seriously gonna write the senator or whoever about it.

Hmmf, that blows, doesn't it?!. As far as I've been told (or what has become "common practise") is that 35% is the legal limit for side windows up here in Ontario, and anything goes for the back. Whether we actually have (enforced) laws regarding it, I don't know. My friend hasn't had any problems with his car that has 20% on the sides.

I just got a quote from a local tint shop for $250 and they can only go down to 40% -- yea right. That seems a little high from what I hear around here. Should be around $150. The guy (its a ricer shop) kept telling me how its high performance tint and everything .

Anyway, pics anyone?

Well, in MI your front windows can be tinted 4" across the top, which is gay. I did my windows 5% all around.
