Matts97cutty89 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 So I have been debating what how dark to go on my GXP, my cutlass has 5% all around but i have had my fare share of tickets so im def. not going that route on the GXP. I like to have the windows all the same tint because I just like the looks of it better but i think if i do 30% all around i wont like it caue it will not be dark enough? What do you guys think?

jake91 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 30 all around i hate when tint is different shades front and rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9lumina6 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yeah....not a huge fan of mixed shades myself. I voted 35% all the way around because that's what the GTP is getting when she comes out from storage in the spring. And 35% is not too dark......so 98% of the cops wont even bother wasting their time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingVee Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm thinking between 30 and 40% all around for mine. It's not legal, but fuck... Like everybody's got dark tints out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 if you don't want 5% all around, which is what I would do....go 5% rears, 15% fronts....if you are used to 5% everywhere 30% will NOT be dark enough for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I have 35% on the sides 20% on the back window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted2bass Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Do 20% all the way around. Or 20% on the front 5% on the back. Thats what i have on my tgp. It matches up very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutboy97 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I would go 20% MHO Here is 20% on all 3 sides with light color interior (sun behind me) here is 35% on all 3 sides with dark color interior (sun behind me) the color of the interior is a factor with how dark the tint looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts97cutty89 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yea Im not a huge fan of mis-matched shades either that is my delima and the tint shops around here dont have 20% I wish they did but my choices are 5%,15% and 35% at one shop and 6%,16% and 30% at another shop. And btw my interior is a light tan color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i first got the cutlass done they were only $36 so i didnt care as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 15% all around, different shades of tint on a car is FTL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 25 front, 15 rear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingVee Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 25 front, 15 rear... That's way too dark, jeez... I'm thinking about 30-40% all around but you just killed it for me. Now I wonder if 50% wouldn't be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminaPower92 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 My Escort with 20% all around. Getting new tint this year. Back is bubbling. My Lumina with 35% sides, 20% back before i took the tint off. Getting new this year. Wasnt dark enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted2bass Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 How bad are the cops around there about tint? If they are pretty lenient i would go 15% all around. If they are real strict i would go with 30%. It sucks you cant get 20% becasue thats a good shade, not to dark, not to light. In three years ive only gotten one ticket for the 20% on my fronts on the TGP. And that was out in the middle of NOWHERE where the cops have nothing better to do.

GnatGoSplat Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Sound like odd tint percentages, my local tinter only offers 5, 20, and 35%. However, he only uses Solargard metallized so maybe that's the difference. Some places here use 3M Panther which is dyed and turns purple. Anyway, I'd go with 20% all around if it were me. Matches factory tint on minivans and SUVs. Not too dark, not too light, it's just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
