tint question


just lookin for some opinions here.

Option A: Tint Back window and quarter windows 20% and the driver/passenger windows legal at 35% Fully Legal

Option B: Tint all windows at 20% Illegal for the driver/passenger window

Option C: Tint all windows at 35% Fully Legal

I'm worried that option A will look funny with darker back windows Does anyone have some pics of a set up like that?

Any other pics of ur tint jobs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

well the darker tint would look the best, but do the cops around you care? will they pull you over just for that? if not i say go for the darker. or just acouple shades darker than legal so the cops wont notice.

Cops may not care, but there is alsay that one bastard/bitch that will give you one, I had 35% tint and got stopped (it registered as 28% due to the factory tint) and got slamed with a $50 ticket, oh yeah, this was after 6 months and a few cops looking at my car with the tints and not caring, till a bitch of a cop stopped me.

thanks for the replies, honestly I dont know about the cops around here because I have never really had a tinted car. All my friends just have the factory tint so they never get bothered with it. Is it hard to see out the back with that 5% tint at night?

Adam, I don't think night driving hard. My daily driver truck is tinted with 2 layers of 5% on the back and 20% on the sides. I just like my windows dark as hell and am very used to it now.

Between night driving, reflection and potential hassle, option A is worthy of a lot of consideration. I did legal 35 driver/pass and 15 quarter and rear (ceramic) and got the aesthetics I wanted. Unless you are a vampire.....

20 on the sides and back. Here's a side shot.

To date and knock wood, no problems from the police regarding my tint or skulls front plate.

i dont know how your cops are but the cops in my area are fucking stupid! i got limo black in the back 3 windows and left the driver and passenger side stock.... they automatically look darker with the tint, ive done this to 3 05+ including myself and always trick the pigs....

i was pulled over once for no front plates and they tried to give me a tix for my tint... i rolled my driver window up and said look, i dont even have tints in the front, lol the oinker let it slide...

I like C, I have 50's all around (got a ticket for 35's) I'm missing the back window since I'm having it replaced, but 50's pretty dark, espcially when you tint the whole front Windshield
