Soo... it depends on the area I'd guess... however, getting 35% to me is pointless. People will still see you clear as day, it won't block out much light...and I have never been a fan of mis-matched tints, as in having different percentages on different windows. Now, if you want to stay not so criminaly, Maybe get the darkest legal up front and then 5% in corners and rear. Windshield strip to me is a must, helps a lot with sun glare. Check my garage for picks.

i might go 20, 25% but idont think im going to do 5. Nice car btw what mats did you use to paint your inside panels im looking to do the same with mine. and what color did you paint it?

I think an even tint all round looks much better, than darker in back and lighter in front or any variations. I have been considering getting 35 all around where it's dark enough and at the same not too dark to become a problem.

stock the windows on new edge mustangs have a bit of a tint to them. i had 20% tint film on my car and it was actually 17% it was dark but you could still see into the car.... kinda. imo 35% is too light. ive sense pulled that tint off and gone darker. never been bugged about it but i also live in texas. heres some pics when i had 20%

Matt. · January 12th, 2010, 03:26 PM

looks good, im looking at 22% atm and 4% on corners

JoshC! · January 12th, 2010, 06:37 PM

4% is really dark. i wouldnt do your back window in it, dunno if your thinkin that. my car right now has 5% on it. i dont think i have any pics tho

I just got 35 all around and in my opinion it looks sick. Looks very classy which is what I was going for. I don't want any unwanted attention hahah but i'll post pics as soon as I take some.

5%

That GT500 is NOT 35%. Sorry.

35% is pretty light to be honest and it is roughly the lowest most states will allow. You will regret getting anything darker than 20% on that rear glass in my opinion. I have 20% on my rear and it's just perfect. I've been in cars that are darker and you have to make a real effort to look for cars.

I don't think you should go darker than 20% all around IMO.

not going to go much darker of lighter, 20% is like were im going to go

35% is seriously not THAT light. I know cause I have it. Plus in Canada any percentage is illegal, so that is not the reason why I got it. Anyway it's a matter of personal opinion. And I prefer it to be even all around, so I did the 35%. Will post pics as soon as I get the car washed. I did all windows except windshield and smoked tail lights, third break lights and all signal lights for $360. It's the Premium film and the basic would have cost under $300.

Good luck with your tint Matt.
