Hey guys! I searched around the forums a lot seeing what a lot of you have done but I figured I might as well get a direct opinion since I couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for. So I have a black Scion tC. I decided to finally get my windows tinted, and i'm going with the Formula One Tint, Pinnacle Series (Ceramic, highest quality film).

In AZ the law is, 35% on both driver and passenger windows, no tint on windshield, and any darkness you want on back quarter windows and rear window.

I'm not going to break the law, because i've been told my countless people "dude don't go illegal, cause the cops around here are total ______s about window tinting being too dark" Fill in the curse word haha.

So my options are as follows, which would you suggest would look best on my black tC, and somewhat uniform (I have OCD and wouldn't want it looking stupid, my car is my baby).

So...

35% all around...

35% on driver and passenger doors, 15% on quarter side windows, and 5% Limo on rear window...so its like, dark, darker, darkest, kind of uniform in a sense.

35% on driver and passenger door, and 15% on both side quarter windows and rear window.

35% on driver and passenger door, and 5% limo on both quarter side windows and rear window.

Thanks guys!

 

If it was me, I would go 35% all around or 35% nd 5% on the rear three.

 

i would go 35% and 20% (or 15%), i think that looks real nice. i live in ohio and i wanted to stay legal (dont want to have too much cops attention since i already have loud music and gonna get exhaust soon) and i went 50% on the front 2, and 20% around back and it looks pretty nice. i wish i could have gone darker in front though

 

I'm 35/20 on my car. Very happy with it. Dark but doesn't have that blacked out look. Never been hassled by cops when pulled over for unrelated incidents. In the end its all up to you. I wouldn't go 5% anywhere because, personally, I think it looks cheesy.

 

well I have always thought that 5% looks nice from a distance and driving next to a car with that makes it more intriguing to see. Its kind of a tactic to get attention from people to see who or what is driving the car. But I agree with everybody elses opinions on the Law part. 5% is kool, but very apparent to COPs. Its almost like blood for a shark, it gets them going and only ends up in an argument or ticket LMAO. I would 10% all the way around here in FL. But in AZ, maybe the 35% front 2 windows, 15% both quarter windows, and 5% rear window.

 

I drive a lot at night. I think 35% all around is about perfect for night driving. Otherwise it's too hard to see out the back or depending on the area, the sides too.

 

not in cali dam police.

 

So it looks like we have one vote for 35 all around, one vote for 35-15-5, and one vote for 35-15.

Hmmm....I don't know. I love getting suggestions from you all though.

I'm really really torn between 35 and 15, or 35-15-5...

I dont think I'd wanna do 35 all around because it almost would look pointless since im looking for that dark look since its a black tC or 35-5 cause that would be way out of uniform...

Any more ideas would be great!

 

35-15-5 all day bro!!!!

 

I would go 35% all around. I was thinking about 35% on mine cause I heard cops are ridiculous in CT too but I ended up putting 20% all around because the guy that did it said cops usually never pull you over for just your tints, its almost always because either you were speeding or some sort of traffic violation; then the tint violation is just added on. I think you should be straight if you went 20% as long as you don't drive like a maniac. I've had mine for about 8 months now and haven't had a run in yet.

 

Do 35 all around. I did my car 35 and its just right if you ask me. It will keep the sun out in the day and you can actually see at night. I did 35/15 on a previous car and I couldn't see anything at night out the back

 

20-5 do it.

 

Thank you for the suggestions guys, im taking them all into consideration.

Just so you all know though, the options I listed, are the ONLY options. There is no 20%. I listed only and all the ways I could do it.

Thanks again!
