Yo,

So, I have a white pearl 95 sc400 with not mods...yet. I am looking to get my windows tinted, but I am not sure with what tint to go for. I live in Cali where any tint over 70% for the front windows is illegal, but I have heard that you can usually get away with up to 35%. Anyway I would like to stay within the legal limit so i don't have to worry about cops.

Could y'all post some pictures of tint jobs that you think look nice with all the vital info.

I am especially interested in blended tints like 70%front, 35 rear, 20 back, or something like that.

Any posts will help.
Thanks.

 

Yea I hear that you can get away with a light tint on the front windows, but they can ticket you nonetheless. I believe CA law states that the front windows cannot be tinted at all.

 

5% on top of factory tint which turned out to be 3% on tint meter.... its too dakr for some ppl but i like it.

 

Cali its 70% for the driver and passenger door

any windows in the back can be as dark as you want.. just think about the hazards of it being it TOO dark though..

technically you can tint below 70% for the driver and passenger.. its just as long as the cop can see you with ur window up and it will be fine..

if ur going for a really dark one.. just be ready to drive ur car with ur window down at night ;] just incase the cops pull u over..

 

I have 35 windshield, 35 sides, 15 rear sides, 5 rear....looks great and with sunroof cover open isn't too dark during the day. Cant see in at night at all

 

HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN CALIFORNIA?

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In California, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.

Windshield
Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield.

Front Side Windows
Must allow more than 70% of light in.

Back Side Windows
Any darkness can be used.

Rear Window
Any darkness can be used.

 

isnt that what i just said ?

 

I have 20% on 5, kinda dark at night but I like it...probably go with 35 if I had to do it again...not exactly legal but meh...I drive with the front windows down all the time anyways...

 

do you guys tint the sunroof?

 

no the sunroof is tinted

i got 25%

 

here's mine

20% all around

the only problem that i had with it was when i got pulled over for speeding. it's just an additional charge on top of the violation.

 

I just don't want to have to worry about cops pulling me over at night, I HATE PIGS!!
Does anyone have any pictures of a smooth tint on an sc, that you think looks good, and is still legal, or close to it?

 

35% on the driver and passenger
Limo on the 1/4's and rear (limo is 5%)

The sunroof's sun shade is open. When its closed you cant see that well into the car.
