I'm gettin my windows tinted next week but I'm not sure what % to get. The legal limit in Oregon is 35%, but I'm more than willing to go darker...maybe even 20%? Anyone have pics??? (Especially those SW drivers out there!)

 

if you can get away with it go DARK!!!! But it is all up to you.

 

Just don't go darker than the law allows. Those laws are in place for a reason. My windows have factory tint on them, which are actually pretty dark, but I'd like them a little darker.

 

i have had double limo tint on a previous vehicle and didn't get harrassed for 3 years. however, it was a 4runner so I could lower the back window and see when I was parallel parking. On the scion I only got limo on the quarter windows.

Get the tint you desire, but remember, you gotta pay to play (if you get caught that is) ...

 

20%







been about 6 months and haven't been hassled about it at all. depends on where you live though i guess. cops around here are rightfully more concerned with hassling tinted out crown vics with stupid 20" spinners, so they leave the non-suspicious cars like tC's alone

 

35% It's a metallic tint so it sometimes looks darker depending on light conditions.




See, not quite as dark:

 

Covered. Lots of examples here...

Window Tint Examples

 

I Know NJ doesn't allow tints unless it's factory tints or prescribed by a doctor... This state is a ball buster...

 

20% Tint

 

35% all around for me.

 

35% here.... pix here https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=155649

 

I have 28% tint, It is really dark and I love it, I still have to take a couple pictures from the side of my car so you can see the window tint good, sorry no pix

 

35% on the front doors and side panels with the help of a friend. We did not tint the back window because it was a huge pain in the ___ and came out looking bad. I actually like the back window not being tinted because it allows more light into the car and doesn't make the tints look as dark as they are.

 

35%

 

Just got my 5% done and it is hard to see at night, BUT, you just have to get used to it, otherwise its awesome!

 

5% on the 3 back and 15% on driver's and passenger's side.

 

30% all around

yay for crappy camera phone images (from a while ago, sorry)

 

im almost positive NY states legal tint is 70% and i have a 20% tint. if i ever see a cop while driving i ussually will roll down my window,....just incase

 

15%





i like it and it doesnt seem that dark
just in the day if i see a cop i open the sun roof so it lets light in

 

I went 35% (legal limit in OR) and love it =D Plenty dark, but not so dark that it looks out of place on my FM. IMO with FM if you go too dark it looks off... need a SW of BSP for the real dark tints.

On a sunny day with the sunroof cover open you can see inside the car if you get real close. If there's clouds at all, though, it gets a lot harder. All depends on lighting conditions. I'm going to shoot some pics tomorrow if I can.

Plus I love how it dims the headlights behind me somewhat at night. Much easier on the eyes in the mirrors.
