Interesting. A thread about tinted widows with all completely unrelated pics except one and even that taken indoors where a 5% looks no different than a 35%. Scratching my head...

i think 15% is enough on a z since it doesnt have that many windows... cars with alot like suv's... sedans might need 5%

Thanks for the comment guys and thanks for stupid comments too like what "Usmanasif" stated. I just decided to put some pictures of my car while I put maybe 1 picture of my window. Why does it matter anyways? Did you just want me to take a picture of my windows with no car showing? will that make u feel bettter or something?? geez

i got 5% on the sides and +1 on no night time vision. to make turns onto streets with no street lights i have to put the windows down.

At least my rear window is only 20% so that helps some.

30% is wayy too light. I could have told you to go get 20%.

But over here in GA, 36% is the legal limit, but I was originally going to go with 20% which makes it illegal, then I thought I'd go illegal all the way. haha.
I think if you have a dark interior, you should be fine with 30%, doesn't have to be limo black to look good.

LOL! Once you spend a little more time on these forums, you just might start to "get it". Your thread is specifically about 5% tint but your pics didn't show how it looks, they showed everything BUT that. When you look at a car's windows indoors at a 3/4 angle (looking at the seats through it), they look fairly dark even without a tint.

I don't think even that would explain it to you, but had to try

Love the look of the 5%. I originally bought mine with 5% and I miss it. Only crap thing is, I almost backed into a car at night because I couldn't see with the windows up in a poorly lit area.

i have limo, you can't see in unless the light hits the right angle and even at that you can only see a shadow of the person. Over and above its not dark enough for the day and too dark for at night. Crappy picture, but it works.

+1, No matter how it looks during the day, I would never do it unless I never drove or backed up at night, and that's not going to happen. Maybe its an old person thing. I drove my son's max once when he had a limo tint and I couldn't see anything not lit up behind me without opening the side windows.
