Default Tint

Planning on tinting my windows this weekend and i was hoping some of you had an idea on how dark/what kind to go with. Anyone with pics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

The tint shop should have examples. I like between 35% and 20%, but it all depends on the car and film.

20% all round.
you also have a legal tint limit you might want to find out what that is.

Im afraid that 35 will be to light and 20 will get me arrested. Is there any in between? Does any one have a pic of a lighter tint such as 35% just to get an idea on a real world look.

That looks really good. It adds privacy yet allows you to see out. But i definatly dont think I would go any lighter. Is there anything between 35 and 20?

first off you wont get arrested for tint, if you have dark interior your 35 percent will give a darker feel,
this is how 35% normally looks,

the only reason i got 35% is because its Oregons legal limit and i dont feel like getting a ticket, taking it off, and then getting it put back on.

JPX, what color is your car? 35% looks really dark on Alec's silver Accord, but on my black Accord it would look a bit lighter. I have a friend who had 15% on her silver Protege and got 3 tickets because her car was silver, she got a black car and the same tint and hasn't gotten one yet...
