CHEVY4X4BLAZER Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Do you have power windows? That will come in handy when reversing at night and also when driving thru/ turning into dark streets neighborhoods. Mainly to watch your turns and make sure there is no one in the way.

shazaam Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Here's the stock tint On the second pic is that 5% over stock or some other percent over stock to equal 5%? Cause I can't decide if I want 15% over my stock tint or 5% over my stock tint Imo if you are thinking about doing 15% over stock or 5% just do the 5%. It's not much darker from the inside from my old 20% over the stock tint but it is much darker from the outside. It does take some time to get used to at night but in the day time I really never have a problem at all. I can stare into blinding, glaring headlights and not be bothered one bit which is REALLY nice at night. I did 5% over 20% on my truck to start out with, hated it, could not see jack shit except in bright sunlight. Redid with 35% over 20%, which equals about 7%, just perfect. That is what I had on my front windows and currently have on all my back windows and sometimes I don't think it's dark enough . The side windows in the cargo area have two layers of 5% over the stock 20%. Even with all windows down, doors open, all the interior lights on you still can't see in even with sun shining directly in with your face on the glass. I did that so the nosy people who try to look at my system can't. The thing that really bothers me is how you can see out the windshield through the back glass from outside. When I had the 20% over stock, you could see through the back like as if it wasn't even tinted darker than stock. Thanks chevy4x4blazer! I gotta make a decision by saturday. And sorry for the thread jack shazaam but I found this thread and didn't think I should make a new one. It's all good bro. I think you should just do the 5% over stock tint. Do you have power windows? That will come in handy when reversing at night and also when driving thru/ turning into dark streets neighborhoods. Mainly to watch your turns and make sure there is no one in the way. At first I had difficulty driving at night with the 5% + 20% on my front windows but I got used to it after a few days. Right now I have 3% on my front windows and its not as hard, but it's not as dark either which I kinda miss. I'm actually considering doing a layer of 20% and making all the back windows double limo lol 2004 Chevy Trailblazer: Deck: Pioneer Premier DEH-P980BT Mids: 4 Selenium 6W4P's Highs: 2 AQ Tweeter's + 2 Crescendo Tweeters + 2 Power Acoustik NX-5 Bullet Tweeters Highs Amp: MB Quart Onyx 4.125 Bass: 2 18" DC Audio XL's <-- Soon to be 8 Sundown SA-12's Box: 13.37 Cu Ft @ 35 Hz with 3 8" sonotubes Bass amps: Crescendo BC3500 @ .5 ohms (2nd one coming soon) 325a Singer Alt! 375a at 16+ volts! 2 XS Power D1400's www.youtube.com/user/phukudmss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esaul Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 In California anything in front of the drivers seat can not be tinted....but anything behind can be spray painted black for all they care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08tahoe Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Chevy4x4blazer: I do have power windows so that will help till I get used to it, and thanks for the advice about watching my turns. Shazaam: thanks! I think I will do the 5% over the stock then. I just wasn't sure if I was gonna have a hard time seeing through them at night but I don't want people to see my system either, but since you and chevy4x4blazer said you both got used to it then I think I will too..

shazaam Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 No prob man. It will be harder to see but that just comes with dark tint so that's something you'd have to deal with/get used to. It's really not that bad though. I use my side mirrors more than I look out the back even when I'm backing up so it doesn't bother me. A good idea of about how dark it would be is to wear dark sunglasses and look out your windows 2004 Chevy Trailblazer: Deck: Pioneer Premier DEH-P980BT Mids: 4 Selenium 6W4P's Highs: 2 AQ Tweeter's + 2 Crescendo Tweeters + 2 Power Acoustik NX-5 Bullet Tweeters Highs Amp: MB Quart Onyx 4.125 Bass: 2 18" DC Audio XL's <-- Soon to be 8 Sundown SA-12's Box: 13.37 Cu Ft @ 35 Hz with 3 8" sonotubes Bass amps: Crescendo BC3500 @ .5 ohms (2nd one coming soon) 325a Singer Alt! 375a at 16+ volts! 2 XS Power D1400's www.youtube.com/user/phukudmss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And talk about dark. its 35% over factory which has 5% on top of that. At least on the back windows. The front 2 doors are 5% only.
