What percent tint should I get?

These are my choices:

35% front sides, 15% rear doors and hatch
35% all doors, 15% hatch
35% all the way around

Legal limit is 70% front doors and anything on the rest but nobody obeys that anyways.

I think I am gonna go with 35% in front and 15% everything else.

I'd go for 15% everywhere, and 35% for the front ones.....

IMO, tint looks best the same all around - not different percentages front and back (at least the side windows) - it looks cleaner to me.

I'll be doing this shortly - either 35% or 20% - gotta check 'em out first. I've never tinted any car I owned, so this will be my first and I want to be dark, but safe, too. And I don't want to draw too much attention from da' fuzz.

Just MHO about even tint on the front and rear door windows, tho.

im gettin 30% all around, Groharlem has 35% on all doors and 20% in rear, u cant see outta the rear at night, so thats a bad choice. or you could do 20% on the windows and 35% on the rear. my neighbor jus had his altima tinted, and looks sweet as ****!

Me personally, I like 35% all the way around. Mine is a 'mirror' tint which is pretty reflective when its light out, but at night you can't see through.

i'm looking to get my windows tinted too once i get my ride.

but i don't want it too dark, i'd like the 2 front windows a bit lighter than the rear windows.

also does anyone know a good priced place to get the windows tinted in mississauga, other than tint king on wolfdale??

thanks.

tint

I got 35% in the front and 20% in the back. Or is it the other way around. I can see out at night with no problem and thats the legal limit in flordia. I think mine is just right.

The percent stands for percent visable. So 20% is darker than 35%. I was very confused when I first started looking at tint myself.
