Re: Window Tint: How dark is too dark?

i originally had double 5% ... couldn't see a thing at night and hardly at day. redid it in 5% and it was livable but just like mentioned the backing up and whatnot is a pain. if i had 15% as an option i would do it, i think 20% is perfect for a daily driver but a weekend toy looks a bit light.

i'd like to go lighter then the 5%, it was cheaper for me to put in a nightvision camera for backing up then to redo the rear window so it stayed.

good luck with your choice.

Re: Window Tint: How dark is too dark?

on my 97 Formula Ram Air I had one layer of red with two layers of 5% chrome behind it. Then on the windshield I had a double brow of 5% and 35% with 50% the rest of the way down...I only got tickets when I traveled into Iowa! Them state troopers over there HATE tint, and when he metered it, it only read .04%.......................needless to say, I got a ticket that day too!

Re: Window Tint: How dark is too dark?

5% all around, have had it for a year haven't had any troubles. I have even been pulled over a couple of times when I had my windows up and the cops hav never said anything about it. I just make sure I roll my window right away so they can see me(don't want to get pulled out of my car at gun point just for tint).
