Hey all, just wondering what % of tint would look good... I'm in NY and the legal limit is a whopping 70% front and rear. Back is whatever. I am willing to go a little lower, but not much... don't want too many tickets now (too many as it is ). Anyways, I have a Dark dark blue tib, and would also like to hear some opinions on what color i should get. I was thinking straight black or maybe a charcoal. Thanks

35 -40 % is still dark but not too dark in ny. i have 35% in the front and 25% in the rear, it looks good and i have had no problems with cops at all. after driving around with it tho i wish i went darker all around. my last car had 5% on it so it seems too light for me now.

i am actually impressed that you knew that it was 70% in ny, nobody seems to know that BEFORE they get a ticket and its too late.

i've been puled over several times for tint in my other car and have been told by 4 different cops that it is 70%

yeah thats what i think... Maybe 50-60 shouldnt be that bad i suppose...

that law is messed up.. its not real.. no tint shop does 70%.. they do 35, 20, 15, 5, and limo tint...


does naybody know stock tint on the cars... i bet thats prolly around 70

Now i am also not a pro with tint obviously, but the place im getting it done is using Solar Gard... is there anything i need to know or ask when i get it done? Such as if the tint will fade to a diffrent color, or the hue of the tint (green, purple) etc...? I just want to have the tint look good for a long time!

also, anyone have Solar Gard on their car?

Tint fades purple when you use windex on them.. It also faded purple when its ****** film.

the tinter we use at my job said that if you use good quality tint it will never turn purple, even if you use windex

what is considered good quality though?
