Hey all

For those of you that have tinted your windows can you tell me how easy/difficult is was to match the to back windows that come already tinted from the dealer? I am going to do that in a week or two and wanted to get your inputs. In Texas, (I think) you can have any darkness you want other than the driver/passenger windows and they cannot be darker than 35%. For those that have tinted, did you just match the two from the factory or did you go darker? Any info would be appreciated.

 

You wouldn't want the fronts darker than the rears, that would look goofy...

If you don't add any tint to the rear, I would say go with 35%...

Tint USUALLY has a blueish color to it, and at 35% it's so little, it's very un-noticable...

20% you'd get into seeing it more...

Personally, I've had 35% on the fronts, when the rears were at the stock tint, and it matched rather well, from both the inside, and the outside...

I'd go with that, if I were you.

 

Yours looks alot darker than 35%, maybe cause its red. I was going to go alot darker in the rear (back two windows and back glass) and 35% on the fronts since I can't go any darker. I just keep looking at the rear glass and wish it would bedarker all around. So your saying the rear from factory is 35%, thats why it would match all the way around better?

 

Yeah, the rear from the factory matches up with 35% (that's what I got out of that). His windows aren't 35% anymore, he tinted them darker.

 

Hehehe..... my rears are .085% and the front doors are 20%...

:-)

Which is why I said, I've had 35%....

 

Oh, and the rear is actually about 17 - 20% tint.... but the 20% tint is actually darker, and doesn't match up as well.

 

Okay, well I figured you had to been darker than 35%. I am going by a place tomorrow and talk to them. They do the 3M film which I heard last a lot longer with our heat here. I think I will go darker in the rear, maybe around 20% and upfront 35%. Just curious, did you double tint the front to get that dark or do you "know" someone willing to do it for you. I thought Michigan was 35% as well. I've just always heard that double tinting makes it drag when you use the window thus making the film wear out quicker. Thanks for the info though!

 

Michigan, it's illegal to have tint on the door windows, and no, I just pulled the old tint off, and put 20% on...

If I were you, I'd have the shop put 35% on the rear 3 windows then...

That'd bring it somehwere around 7% I think...

 

Frenchy you guys don't have inspections do you?

 

No, and the cops in my area, are well....

...they let me off one time, from doing a burnout, cuz they know my family, and didn't wanna cause problems...

So they REALLY don't care.
