Tint Question (pop-out windows)
 
Simple question.

http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/TX/


Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 25% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 25% of light in.

Front Side Windows Must not be more than 25% reflective.
Back Side Windows Must not be more than 25% reflective.

Restricted Colors The tint color(s) of RED BLUE AMBER are not legal by state law.
Side Mirrors Dual side mirrors are required if back window is tinted.
Certificate Requirements Manufacturers of film need to certify the film they sell in the state. Ask your dealer if they are using ceritified film.
Sticker Requirements The sticker to identify legal tinting is required between the film & glass on the driver’s side window.
Medical Exemption State allows medical exemptions for special tint. For more details about the specific terms of the exemption, consult your state law.

Do the rear pop-out windows count for rear windows? I know it's obvious, but my rear-side and back seem WAY darker than 25%?

After I make all my money back that i've spent this week ($150 for hood, $75 for grille, $400 for paint, $500 for books, $130 for head unit), I want to tint the back 3 windows to 30% and fronts to 60%. But I'd rather have the pop-out windows as dark as possible...

i can too but there not 35% so if not 20 maybe 25ish haha

magnethead 08-09-2009 09:52 PM

wow. I was hoping i could have it so you couldn't see in the back windows...guess that isn't hapening....

idk how it would look putting tint over something thats already tinted too it'll probably show the tiniest bubbles a lot more at least from what i've heard from my friend who does tint take it to a pro tinter and see what they say about it i guess

is the stock (plexiglass??) dye tinted or is there a layer of tint that can be removed by a tinter, and have a darker layer re-applied?

I put my subwoofer box (bare MDF) in my backseat, and it was clear as almond that it was sitting there. I havent tried the flashlight test yet at night, but it'd like for it to be half-hidden, so that the carpet can cover the other half...
