What percentage tint to do car windows?

Post by DansCorsaSXi »

Hey guys,

When i get a bit of money together,probs after christmas im looking to get my windows tinted but not sure on how much to do with Laws and that.
Originally i w anted 100% in the back 3 rear windows but me mate said i would struggle to see out of rear windows when reversing.He seems to think that 75% in the back 3 windows and 25% in the 2 front windows and then obviously the front window leave and put a sunstrip in :D

Any ideas lads?

My back 3 are dark smoke,
Wouldnt go darker as it will look crap imo!
Your other 2 are already 25% so you wont be able to do them,
If you did you will just get pulled and get made to rip them off and get a fine maybe points,
Sun visor looks good from the outside, When you stop at the traffic lights first you'll be looking out the drivers window as i do lol

Hope it helps ya!

Yeah, don't tint the front door windows. It'll be illegal.

every car i've owned i always put Limo Black at the rear and Light Smoke on the front never had a problem with the police cause with the back being so dark it gives the front ones that darker look but even standard cars have a 3% tint too the windows

Far as I remember it's 75% minimum light for the front, google would verify that tho.
