How much was your tint?

[ianwells100]

$140 CDN + tax for 5% tint on the back (sunguard film, with lifetime warrenty

then, $60 (cash in hand, its illegal for side tint) 50% tint on the sides, i went with this, as i didn't want any cop troubles, (the guy advised me of this), also it does look pretty damn dark, with my back tint, and dark interior,

i'm very happy with it..

Thats 5% all the way around, its really hard to see out of the side windows at night. When i leave the car parked in the sun for a while then get back in its not even that hot inside. The tint reflects most of the sun so i stay :cool:

you can't have tint on your front windshield if that's what you mean....i asked about that too. cars just look like they have tint on the front windshield 'cause all the other windows are tinted & it makes the front windshield look dark.

reason they don't do it is 'cause if you're in an accident, the window is so strong (reinforced with tint) that it won't break when your head smashes against it. in other words, your head will take more of the impact then it should [img]smile.gif[/img]

no, I didn't mean the windshield, I ment the side windows. I guess in a normal four window 4 door setup, you're not allowed to tint the front two (this is what I've heard). I just wanted to know if it's legal at all in CA to tint the side windows because I don't want to pay for this and have to take it off because some porker needs to meet his quota.

Thanks so much for all your reponses on this, I know it's a question many ask, but I had some specific questions.

So I called CHP and they said that it is illeagle to have ANY tint on the front windows of any car. There goes my tinting excursion.

that's gay.

major gay... greg lou-GAYNESS even. I'm probably going to do it anyway though, if I get like %35 on the sides and %20 in the back I think that will be good.
