Tint ?

[HottnesDenali]

You just need some brighter reverse lights

Lol even with brighter bulbs its hard to get into a NY driveway. I have to fold my mirrors n back in

 

[HottnesDenali]

I took the tints off. Not sure what to do at this point

I want the front windows lighter than the rear. When you make the front so dark… you can barely see anything in your mirrors. It’s much more important that you’re able to see than what it looks like…

Personally never had a problem with this. Have done this setup with all my vehicles. Though I will say at night in pitch dark areas if I have to back up anywhere, I just roll down the windows to be 100 percent that nothing is in the way. The windshield tint actually helps me with the oncoming lights. As the newer cars get brighter lights, the tint helps not get blinded so easily.

It looks a lot different looking out from inside vs looking in.

I would like to do this but in NY you can only have 70% on the two fronts

its 20% here in Colorado, but I have yet to know anyone that got a ticket for it that wasn't doing something else more dumb.

The place I went to used tint brand called “solar guard galaxy”. I only did the 2 fronts and it matched the rears great on my 15.. idk if the windows look different on the newer truck… I don’t even know what % they put on. I just told them to match it

Or aux b/u lights as well.

The shop you go to, is it in Long Island?

No. In NH. But the bay is identical, right down to the two-tone paint job and white garage door.

Slightly, but I don’t think there is an exact match. I think 20% is too dark. I got xpel as well, and you really don’t notice after awhile. I’m just happy to protect the interior.

Times two, it's not that far off, stay legal.

I think thats the way I will go. Or probably something really lighter. Probably 40 or 50

Many (most?) states have very specific limits on the maximum % you can tint the front windows. In our area, they can and will ticket you if the windows are too dark. You have to have a small dated sticker from the installer on your windshield stating the % of tint. I believe the fine is $500. I went with the maximum legal tint. It is lighter than the OEM rear tint. I’m pleased with it. Even at this tint, I’ve noticed that it is sometimes too dark when looking out the front windows at night, such as when turning in the dark.

When I had it done the first time it was the 15%, but I had it redone to the 20%. I like it much better both for the looks outside and the coolness inside.

NYC law is 70%.

"When you do just the two fronts, its hard to match the factory smoked glass. They do their best to get it close though. Personally I did 5% all the way around (including the backs) and 35% on the full windshield... since its dark, I don't notice the difference. I went with the llumar ceramic."

How is driving at night with that 35%?

I had it done in 15% but I removed it. I removed bc I dont like how it look from the inside. Look at the 3rd pic. It’s a big difference. How does the 20% look from the inside? Comparing the front doors to the rears doors?

Good lord I think that is worse than CA. I think 20-25% is the max alowed here for the 2 fronts bout everything else no holds barred. I’ve had limo on the front before but gotten fix it tickets. This was years ago and since then only do 20% in the fronts and limo the rest.

They won't bother you in Florida, I have everything super dark including the windshield.

Here's one website (of many) that has current tint laws by state, along with a lot of other info (and ads, unfortunately)... https://windowtintlaws.us/

What a concept….Function over looks…….. My Concept for about ever but can’t fix stupid. Pretty much asking to get stopped by po po! Especially one traffic light hickville.

 

[CASTLEDFW15]

Also I have no sympathy for the ones who try Limo in a 25% or above state and get a fix it ticket. If there is an accident you could be eaten alive by other partys lawyer and get experts to testify that your reaction time was decreased and had the tint been legal there could be more time/room to avoid collision……Yes that can also work for the blacked out exterior lighting.

Just saying!!
