HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN TENNESSEE?
Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In Tennessee, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.

• Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
• Front Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
• Back Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
• Rear Window Must allow more than 35% of light in.

 

Excellent idea. Seeing at night is overrated.

 

lol at everybody telling him that it is illegal. I am pretty sure he knows that but just wanted opinions of people that have done it.

Personally I have 20% all around and 35% on the windshield. Reason being is that the other windows being dark will make the windshield tint darker. So go with a higher % then the rest of the windows.

The best part though is during the hot months of the year, the dashboard with all the plastics and the steering wheel stay cool and don't burn your hands. Especially the shift ****.

 

haha for real. but hey do you wish you did 50% up front? how is night driving? have you been pulled over for it? is it very obvious its tinted? and can you see in from the front? sorry for all the questions but your the only one who has it. thanks man

 

also can you post a pic from the outside and the inside so I can get an idea of how dark it is? thanks

 

35 percent on front windshield is so dark at nights..especially if your headlights are the only lighting out. go at least 50 percent and you'll thank me. 50 percent will look dark if the rest of your windows are tinted.

 

I have HID's. Amd I have 15 on the rest of the car. I thought 15 would be super dark but you can still see in during the day so I am thinking 50 on the front wont even be noticeable..

 

5% sides and 35-45(i cant remember) on the front.



Prepare to have fun driving at night in the rain... You will have your windows open more then ever.

Cool story bro time: Got pulled over for my side windows and nothing was said about the front. Pic shows difference.

i have hids as well. like i said, you can get darker front if you want but i warned you. my car is really low and you can't see any dips or flaws int he road with 35 percent tint at night.

 

if you're absolutely set on tinting, my opinion is to go with the 50 percent.

 

i have 5% on the sides and back. 50% on hte front with 5% visor strip. i use to have 35% had to take it out because in the rain its impossible to see. cops only notice the dark sides .they cant measure the actual windshield so if u dont admit it than ur good.

 

Do the 3m Crystalline to avoid cops but get the advantages of a dark tint.

Motor Trend review of 3m Crystalline

The front tint looks nice but is pretty non-functional.

 

i have 5% all around + 6" strip on my windshield. Lived in east coast for 3 years and now in the west coast. No problem at all so far, night or day. Granted I have a backup camera but i can always roll down my windows for backing out of a spot or whatever...


go with 5%

 

will you even be able to tell it is tinted if I do 50?

 

no, anything greater than 35% might as well dont pay for it since its still very clear and waste of money in my opinion.

15% or 20% is perfect.

 

15 or 20 for my windshield? no way. but your right 50 wont look like anything... or will it? With 15 everywhere else and black interior it might look darker. I am not worried about night driving I am just worried about looking super sketchy. I want to enhance the look of my Z not make it look trashy.

 

you do realize OP is talking about tinting the ENTIRE windshield not just the top strip, right?

 

We established that after his second post when I asked him..... I think we're not going to sway him and he's just going to do it regardless, so, I just gave up... lol. Hopefully he doesn't hit some random person (or a kid for that matter) walking across the street going to the bus stop or something because he can't see that well at night/early morning. To each's own

 

I guess I should've quoted who I was responding to which was *ICE* since he was telling him to tint it 15 or 20 percent.
