TInt help!

[wantavant]

Have an appointment on Friday and can't decide if I just go 20% on front windows, or go 35% over rear windows and 15% on front windows. I do not like limo tint, but thinking maybe the back could be a tad darker.....Thoughts or pics anyone?? I am not worried about the police or anything like that.

I'm in the same situation, I was going to do 20% all around 70% on the windshield and pano moonroof (I know the concerns of cracking, I live up north). But I'm thinking that may not be dark enough. I've seen that people are saying the back windows are about 20% and looking at them in person you can still see inside during the day quite a bit. I also want to make sure both the front and back passenger windows match. Any pics or suggestions from people who have done their tint would be appreciated.

Yeah I know what you mean about the rear windows not being quite dark enough, that is why I think I am leaning towards the 35% over it and then doing 15% on sides....I think it would be a pretty good match.

If I were to put 20% over all 4 windows will the back still be darker than the front? That's another question I would like answered because I've seen other people post on here saying they did 20% all around and never complained about it not matching.

Yes from what I have seen the 20% over the factory 20% would bring you to about 5% so it would for sure be darker than the front 20% if you went that route. I think even 35% on the rears would be too dark to match 20% on the front which is why I will probably go with 15% on the front.

Thanks, for the advice. Still would like to see some pics from others. Do you have a pano moonroof and do you plan on tinting it? I'm also doing ceramic tint all around.

I do not not have the moonroof no, if i did i would prob put 20% on that.

I'm probably going to get mine all redone. Got the fronts to match and it's too light for me. I've had 15% on my other vehicles and like it a lot, wouldn't mind a bit darker even. Depends on the shop but I can't find a shop near me that does sunroofs because they're scared it will break it.

This is 20% on front doors and then 70% on windshield, back doors, and back glass.

So is this at 20% all around?

What do you have right now? just 20% on front window?

That looks really good, so you could for sure tell the back is a bit darker just by adding 70% on it?

That's 20% Llumar tint, it's not ceramic. It's a fantastic tint but if you want heat repelling it's not the same level as ceramic. And 15% eyebrow.

With how many of the 14 gen's that we have had go through the shop, I would just do 20% all the way around. Depending on what the exact shops 20% film meters at. You could be looking at anywhere from a 17% - 23% usually. Laying that over the back factory tint gets it closer to a 8-10% so its not quite limo tint but dark enough for most people. Its what 99% of our customers do here. From there depending on where you live and the cops in the area, I would even consider tinting the entire front windshield to block out more heat and just darken those fronts a smidge more.

that's unfortunate, sunroofs are usually the flattest piece of glass and easiest to tint on some vehicles.
