cino135 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 balrock01, you has any probs with radio reception with the mirrored tint? i read on here once, and seemingly would agree, that it could cause interference????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balrock Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have had no interference with the radio since the tint was put on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balrock Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc138/balrock01/IMG_8203.jpg On a rainy day it looks really dark, but on a sunny day you can see the black steering wheel. The day I got the ticket it was a really overcast day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkarrowsnow Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 5 percent so I cant feel my faceee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjik_Man Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm also in Ohio. I went 35% on the front windows and rear window, and 18% on the other 4 windows. Most cops don't even notice me (sleeper LGT's FTW!) but I allways open my sunroof shade before I roll by, the light from above makes the tint look much lighter (untinted sunroof). pics: I don't see any tint on your car (which is really nice looking btw) Quick question, and a mighty dumb one... what tray liner is that in your "trunk?" I only ask because the dealer put the wrong one in my car (probably from a forester) and it doesn't fit properly so I'm going to get a new one and I really like the way yours has lips on the sides. Is that just the stock wagon liner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molal24 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well finally got some pics up...Before and After. Ignore the dirty car, we have had a crap load of snow and it was like 10 degrees that day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudeMood Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 im having 35% done on my spec b all around on tuesday. I will post photos when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldmm803 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 first pic pre tint and 2nd pic is with 35 on back and 55 up front. i'm very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 5% fronts and 2 layers of 5% rear! Any tint on the front windows darker than 70% is illegal in NY so mine as well go black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotsflat4love Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I live in Cali where tint on front is illegal, I bit the bullet and got 15% on the back and 28% on the front. I could get a ticket for the fronts, so I purchased the tint shops extended warranty which mean, when I get a ticket, they pull the tint and when it's written off I go back and they apply whatever tint I want again to the front. Happy with my tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldmm803 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 anything darker than 70% up front is illegal for me also which is why i chose the 55% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick4dr Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 i have 20% all around and it looks killer. I would have gone darker in the rears but night vision suffers significantly after 20%. I had 20's on my last car and got use to it so i went 20 again. I never tint the windshield banner- too much cop attention then. I hear double layer 5's or 15 in the rear makes it look killer, with a lighter front choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 post 85 is what im talking about i have 5% all around. i need windshield now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteyjr Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I think 35% all the way around works well. Its what I use . Originally bought the Leggy with 50 % all around but changed it out. Like others , I prefer same tint all the way around mainly for aethetics. Cops too busy In Fla to give tickets over tints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverGSX Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 You can get away with darker tint by getting a tint that has a higher reflective property.Not a legacy, but my car has Llumar's "Platinum Plus" tint 35% all around and it looks way darker than it actually is.

Jallen7 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hate miss-matched tint also, I have 30% all the way around and it looks great. I would do 30% or something close to that. You will not be mad you did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenmoormax Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 5% on rear half, 20% up front, 50% on my full windshield. 3M colorstable installed by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have 20% on my car, which in MOST instances throughout the day looks almost completely BLACK. However, for some reason, during this shoot, it came out a lot lighter (likely because the sun was GLARING out.) My friend's car also has 20% tint. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2690/4286033316_1a3feee819_b.jpghttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2737/4285284027_f23b414b0d_b.jpghttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2789/4285281653_264bc641a9_b.jpghttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2753/4285279309_71133ccd0f_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeblow Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Mine's aftermarket tinted, but that's how I bought it. Probably 35%. But I agree that it looks odd when its mismatched. i think that 9 times out of 10 (unless you're rolling 5% limo tint) a cop won't pull you over specifically for a a tint violation, but if you get lippy, they might add illegal tint to the ticket. I don't think its much different than when a cop goes and checks your bumper clearance levels and all that stuff if you're obviously riced out and set up to "race." It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
