thinking of getting her tinted. What do you guys think of a real light tint just to help get rid of the "green" glass look. I am thinking about something in a 50% range. Might even go darker but don't want visability issues at night OR to get pulled over and have to remove. In Cal.

Would like to hear some thoughts on this.

I have 35% and have no visibility issues. At times it feel it can be a tad dark; but it hasn't caused any issues.

 

I have 50% on the sides and 35% on the back glass (legal in VA). It looks good - if you have a dark interior, it looks darker than it is. I don't have a good full-side shot, but this will give you an idea (and it was taken on a VERY sunny day):

 

Here is Seal Grey over Stone grey on a sunny day. 50% front, 35% rear

 

That's a great shot - that's exactly what my tint is and looks like...

 

i always get 20% and love it.
i don't like people from outside to look in. helps keep road rage out, breaking in is a bit harder also and keeps interior super nice & kewl in good hot dayz.

i think tint is the next best thing to sliced bread.

 

Aren't you worried about the FFX County ********* bothering you??

 

Thanks for the pics guys! So helpful! Would love to see more if anyone has them handy. Maybe I will go 50% on the sides and 35% on the back?? Looks good in the pics.

i honest haven't had issues. if i see them i open the sunroof and turn the lights on inside so it makes it look lighter since i have more light coming in from sunroof and/or from the light. plus if i get hassled too much, i will just get a doctor's note since i have astigmatism and am have photophobia (meaning lights scare me).

 

Limo tint over all of my windows on top of the factory 20% privacy glass. No one can see in, but you can see out.

 

Badass.

Also, try say Tint Thoughts a couppla times quickly why don'tcha!

 

You're too much.

 

I've got 5% all around, in the People's Republik of California for the last four years with no problems. Knock on wood. I love how dark it is and that nobody can see in. I can drive it at night with no problems.



I think tint really depends on how dark your car is. If you have a black or dark grey car, a lighter tint (20-50%) will look darker than it would on a light colored car.

 

Exactly. The first night I had my tint installed, it took a couple of miles to get used to it, but now, when I get into a vehicle without it, I feel naked.

It's fun to drive around and stare at people and see them trying to look in, but they can't see a damn thing.

 

we had 5% tint on a m3 before with a big strip in the front window.
it was slick. loved being inside a hot summer day. it was FANTASTIC.
