What do you know abou 50%?


Tek

Recommended Posts

I like the feeling of darkness inside of my car, as well as keeping it a little bit cooler in the summer months. The only problem is, Michigan law prohibits tint on the front side windows. I was wondering if 50% tint makes a difference or is even worth it for that matter. I would like 35% but I don't want to get pulled over for it.

My factory was 70% and right now I'm running 28% percent when corrected for the factory tint and the 35% I ran... and honestly I have had 0 problems b/c it's and SUV the rear is factory 15%... It doesn't look all that dark when I get the extra money I'm gonna go with 5% all around.

if your interior is light you would prolly get away with 35%. if you get pulled over just use the "i bought it this way excuse". it seems to work for people

WI laws are 50% on front windows 35% on rear windows.

I got 5% on the fronts, and 5% over the factory 35ish%.

No issues yet...

IMO 50% is a waste of money, you will barly be able to tell its tinted, at least do 35%.

but doing the front windshield stupid imo.. If you ever get in a wreck and its not your fault, Im sure they will find every way possible to make it your fault, since its illegal in every state.

^^ 50% is a complete waste of money... even for your goals.

I'm uploading pics of mine truck to show you how true 28% looks.
