tint % for Galaxy Grey SI

MTLcivicSI · 03-12-2009, 10:47 PM

what tint % do you guys suggest for a GG civic SI?
Law over here is that the front driver and passenger windows have to let at least 70% of the light in or block 30% of the light. Windshield cannot have anything and back can be as dark as you want...

any suggestions?

I would go 25% all the way around. They will never know. LOL
On the sun roof I would go as dark as possible.

MTLcivicSI · 03-12-2009, 11:14 PM

it has to let at least 70% light in

Zeuceone · 03-12-2009, 11:18 PM

50% is perfect.

Mitchyy · 03-12-2009, 11:31 PM

***GGEX*** · 03-13-2009, 12:04 AM

5% all the way around

Bryan 07'CoupeEX · 03-13-2009, 12:08 PM

You probably have 70% tint now, at least mine did. I have 35/20 on my gg coupe. I wish i did 20% all around.

**0720Steve** · 03-13-2009, 12:09 PM

35. it is dark, but not too dark. and just close enough to laws so you probably wouldn't get and greif over it. i have always like the look of 35 on the darker grey cars. i used to want it for my graphite accord. but it got t boned before i could tint.

35 ftw.

jaylyte · 03-13-2009, 02:45 PM

i have 20% all around and it looks great...i got stopped once so far by the cops...but that comes with the territory....

Emerican · 03-13-2009, 03:58 PM

I'm debating on either 20-25% all around (except front) Anyone got any pics of their 20% or 25% on their GG Coupes? I know darker looks better, but 35% is legal. My friend has 20, and says he worries all the time when he passes by cops.

not to threadjack but im looking for a 20-25% tint that blocks heat like a MF b/c texas is bitchin hot in the summer and GG w/ black interior FTL in heat..

any suggestions!?

bouncer07 · 03-13-2009, 04:14 PM

Here in Minnesota is 50%. You'll get pulled over for anything darker.

MN police got shot from a guy pulling out his gun and died, so the law got strict on window tint. I'd day 35% all around!

JohnnySak69 · 03-13-2009, 04:15 PM

That is 15% on the back, so not limo and 35% on the front to be legal in california.

At night, the 15% is like limo, you can't see through that.

I also have 20%. I think it is the best compromise between looking good (you can hardly see into the car even during the day), and being able to see out of your windows at night. I have yet to have any trouble with the police.

IMO 35% all the way around looks sexy...its not too dark, yet leaves your car with a nice smoked look.

I have 15% all around and 35% on the front windshield commercial car look.
