Default Does anyone know what % my window tint is?



This was my old gs300 (first car) bought it with the windows like that. Want them tinted like that again. Is it 5 or darker? I have no tint on my current car and feel like a fish... -_-

Hard to tell with a pic.... Looks 5 but could be 20. All depends on angle and lighting. I had to peel my 20% front tint off and I too, feel like a fish

Because your interior makes a difference, you have tan then that's def 5% .. Rims are ruff racing staggered 19"

"looks like" cannot and will not cut it.

the way that a 'illegal window tint' ticket is SUPPOSED to work is that the law enforcer uses a device that they hold up to your window and it measures the tint (im not sure how, probably by how much light can pass through.)

the only way to tell for sure is to get your hands on one of those devises. im sure you could hit up some local tint shops and they SHOULD have one of those devises.
