Window Tinting - 15% Or 35%?

[Drift King]

HELP!

Got my car booked in next week for window tinting B) , through a group buy on this forum! But need help, I still can't decide which % tint to go with! Was thinking 15% but don't want to get defected and not sure about night visibility, on the other hand 35% may not be dark enough to keep the heat out and people from looking into the car!

Any suggestions and/or pics of recently tinted cars!? Are there any Series 2 R33 GTS-25T recently tinted out there?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

i got 15% its perfect... not too dark at night, not light durng day... visibility is fine all times of day and night.... and cops havent said anythign in the last 2 times they pulled me over, so should be right

[Sl!m]

yeah 15% is what you want

i have 15% on a R32 GTR, suits the car perfectly, visibility is good, and cant see in at night

I wasnt sure which one to go either, but greg showed me the 15% on a ceffie and im really happy with it

Thanks heaps guys!

I will probably go for the 15% and stay away from the cops! I will be seeing Greg next week and he will show me some samples but to be honest I was pretty keen on the darker tint. In the end it just seems to be better overall!

Once again, Thank you.

my sII came with tinted windows at the back ...i cant see shit out the back at night...day time is pretty bad too so i have to reverse using side mirrors only ..

So since 15% is a defect, perhaps consider what ure insurance company will say if you have a smash. "your tints are past the legal limit, we think you could not see, bye bye payout"

Does 15% allow you to see through to your side mirrors at night?

Would you know what % the windows were tinted at? Chances are they would be pretty close to 15%, or maybe darker?

You make a good point, the last thing that I need is 1) to have an accident and 2) to have problems with my insurer!

I don't really want to have this problem but it will prevent theives from looking into the car and the possibility of being broken into. Would 35% be able to do that? Obviously not as effectively, but within reason.

Thank you all for your input!

35% would help at night. but its not going to stop them from seeing thru.

I have a few mates with 5%. you cant see anything with the windows up at night. not sure about 15% though. im sure it wouldnt be much different.

[Haysey]

yep 5% you cant see shit at night but i drive around with the windows down all the time anyways...

i love it... wouldnt have any less.. only have trouble when there arent street lights and if the street is really dark i cant see where im going.. but its all good

15%

i drive with my windows down at night so u cant tell i have dark tint ;o

[Drift King]

Thanks for all your input guys and girls!

I recently found pics of my old car which had 20% and it looks hot! Hopefully I can get 20% again if not maybe 15%.

[d00dz]
