Windows Getting Tinted This Week...Question??

[niehues23]

It seems like the census choice for tinting the LS is 15%. My last car was a Mustang and I believe I had 20% put on it but I wanted it a bit darker so I am planning on getting the 15% on my LS. My question is I am also wanting to put 50% on my windshield...is this noticably darker when looking at it than an untinted windshield?? I live in Kansas where we have a 35% and the AS-1 laws but I'm not really too worried because I had my Mustang for 4 years...Any pictures or links to an LS with 50% windshield would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

ut oh, you might have just stirred up a very touchy subject :shifty: haha but ya, 50% on the windshield might be the way to go if you REALLY wanna tint it, any darker might be too dark... you might even wanna consider going a little lighter... i was thinkin about doin mine the same as the tint on the top that goes down about 6 inches, how dark is that? i got 5% (limo) all around my windows

If it stops snowing anytime soon I can get you some picks of my car. I have 20% on the sides, 50% on the windshield.

Pics would extremely help...my appointment isn't until Friday so no big hurry! What would be the next available tint lighter than 50%?? Or I guess that would probably be a question for the people at the thint shop...?

5% On all the windows, 30% on the windshield. Honestly, No lie, day or night (the windshield) I notice NO difference in visibility, you can see just fine. and it's noticeably tinted, I've been pulled over several times, they've never given the tint a second look. You cant see in and it's nice and dark during the day, car is always cool in the hot florida summer sun. Nighttime however the side windows need to be rolled down in some situations.

I've got 35 on my wondshield and 20 all the way around. It is a little darker at night, but you get use to it. Just a reason to buy brighter lights.
