2 TINT or NOT 2 TINT???

Post by JohnLynch »

My leather is all original and in great shape and I would like to keep it that way, I would like to protect it from the sun this summer anyone have any good pics of different % tint?

John, search my car #4867 for pics
It has tint.... 50% on the doors and 20% on the quarters and rear.
I'm actually going to strip the 50% of the doors soon and go to 35%.
Now, 20% on the doors and all around make it hard at night to see pediatricians.

thanks! I really like the 20% it makes the teal pop. I am unsure if I would have a hard time with the coppers as NC legal is 35%.....decisions

Yea,it's the same here. That'a why Im only doing 35% on the doors. But, however, my wifes denali has 20% all the way around and her led foot has gotton her pulled over a few times and the police didn't say a word about the tint. :? I get pulled over all the time in my '03 for tint and NO front tag... 20% all the way around on the '03.

I don't have it on the black car, which I prefer since it doesn't really get much exposure to the sun anyway. The red car it all the way around when I bought it.....pretty dark. I peeled it off the windshield and sides......probably 20%.

Regardless of percentage it will look better than without. I have 35% (still get tickets in CA) now but had 20% on my black car and it looked good as well.
