Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Is 50% tint worth it.

Unfoutnely VA is teh gay and you cant tint ur front windows more than 50%. U can do the back 35%. I dont want an uneven look so i would do 50 all the way around. My ? is do you think its even worth it. It doesnt even look that dark. I coundnt find a celica w/50 but i found this nice m3 w/50 all around. the m3 is btw.

Worthless.

my celica came stock with approx 50% tint.

in any case, it's not worth it as far as 'protection' (of inside items) is concerned. it is somewhat worth it as far as keeping some heat out of your car.

dont waste the $$$

guess ur right. i wasnt doing it for the keeping the car cool but more of the look. yea i prolly wont do it, VA is loser. y cant it have 35 like most states

shit imma do my celica with 5% tint in the back 3 windows and 20% on the front sides! gonna look sick!

My friend has a pathfinder w/5% tint on all windows. At night he has to roll the windows down just to see

same in the celi

hey wassup i live in VA and im in alexandria i have a cousing that has 20 all around here is a pix of his car hes been had them on for 3 months now and he havent got pulled over here is the pix

^^yea i know people w/illegal tints but once inspeciton comes around dont they check it? Theres no point of me getting it not and it looking cool for a couple months if i have to get rid of it come inspection.

not worth it IMO

I think it depends on how illegal you go. I don't think places around here would scwabble over 20% instead of 35% however if there was 5% all the way around, well it's time to pay a little more for the sticker if you know what I mean.

5%? and he cant see...right

It depends on what you're are going for. If its privacy or the cool-looking factor you are going for, then its worthless. It can be worth while if you trying the block the summer heat from getting into your car.

You can't have ANY in my province, but I have 35%, haven't been hassled yet. (knock on wood). Go for it.

i had my car repaired and the body shop broke my back window.. i bought my car used 2002 GT and it had very dark silver tint. And they cant find anyone to tint the replacement window for me with silver any ideas on what i could do?? and yeah 50 percent is way not worth it..

50% is a total waste. It's going to actually look stupid it'll be so light.

Tint it 35%. Cali only allows 70% up front, and I've never been hassled about my 35%.

haha you're worried about anything less than 50%? I've got 5% here in cali and the cops don't even mention it when they pull me over and when I get off with warnings. Is 5% worth it? Sure it is, like when you got a hot date and she wants you to show her your skills, but not worth it if you don't got any.

That's what a HOUSE and your BEDROOM are for. 5% looks sick during the day, but I like seeing the road at night.

I know...that's what I try to tell them but you know some of them? yeah I admit I roll my windows down at night...and day, if I'm not busy. Hey life's too short, but you don't always have to be...

i have 50% front and 20% rears and i think it works out fine. but since you dont want the "uneven" look then 50% all around would be weaksauce. So does that M3 have 50% all around??? On my car 50% looks much darker maybe because i have the rear windows all 20% so there isnt as much light inside the car. Its doesnt look uneven really and actually any tint on the fronts is illeagal in CA so most people roll around with only the back three tinted. Now that's an uneven look.

before i got 5% on back and 20% on front, but i got pulled over after a week, so i only have it on my back, dont tint too dark!

what's wrong with his statement? 5% is D-A-R-K. (technically--that's limo tint). i have a friend with this and he has to roll down his windows also...and you can forget about backing up out of a parking lot at night without sticking your head out of the window.

many times (unless the cop is super bored) a cop won't pull you over for having dark tint. BUT, if you get pulled over for something else (such as speeding, running redlight, etc) the tint will be an add-on ticket.

true dat...but if they ask if I realize my tint is too dark I say no because I'm blind and it all looks the same to me.

def not worth it...

eh... I got 5%0 cause i have to keep it legal or i will lose my license till im 18 (2 speeding tickets). For the tint factor its not really going to do much. But it really helps to keep out the sun and keep the heat down. And just for that reason i think its worth it.

Every time you go for inspection they dont check? Mabey 35 in back and 50 up front would look better.

not worth it
