Tint Decision

Ive got a black '99 Integra with black interior.

The shop that Im getting my tint done at has 5% 25% & 35% tint film.
My question is which % should i go with, I judging between 25% or 35%.

Remember car is black already with black interior. Im thinking of getting gold or silver rims in a weeks or two.

If anyone has p[ictures of there tint, post em up'

Thanks

forget the tint. The car is already heat just being a teg.. but if you must, go with a the lightest tint, itll look sick with the fog look

I believe the legal limit is 35% in the driver side/passenger windows. I say keep it safe and avoid the hassel. Go 35% all around

i have 35% on my z right now and it's way too light for the look most people are trying to go for with black tints. i would suggest 20% yes, it's past legal limit, but it's not insanely dark that it'll attract the cops attention, but it's dark enough. if the shop doesn't offer it, than find one that does, there's TONS of tint shops out there, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to install one properly.

oh, in case you want to see how light 35% is, here you go ...



edit ...

if you really want to stick with the shop you know of, than try 25%, it should be just a tad darker than mine, and you probably won't get much harassment from cops off of that, don't go 5%, or else you'll end up in a ditch trying to look at your blind spots or rear at night.

I had 20% tint before, it was decent. Nobody ever pulled me over and I use to drive a Civic.

I have a different vehicle now and I have 35% tint. It's see through in the daytime and at night, it's dark, it's very nice actually.. like it's classy look.

Apparently the style today is to have people be able to see who's driving the car but yet still maintain a tint. So I think 35% is very popular today.

Just remember, these guys don't have to pay your tint ticket. Go with whatever is legal.

My buddy got 20% all around on his acura csx, looks good.

With your black interior and black car, I think 35% might be a better choice though.

Thumbs up

Dude Ive tinted many cars.... and believe it or not i think you should go with the 35%
it'll look dark because of the car and the interior and it gives a whole different appeal rather than 5% an it just being blacked out
