27% Window Tint

I just got 27% tint all around. That is what's legal here in Colorado. It makes it look very sofisticated. I also just put a layer of Griots Best of Show Car Wax. It sure looks nice and glossy!!

Let me know what you think!!!

Congrats, looks good! Tinted glass always remind me of Run DMC's 'Tinted windows don't mean nothing, they know who's inside' hehe

27% should be pretty dark, doesn't look very dark at all. What type of film is it and who makes it?

This is from the DMV Web site!! The film is MADICO

The tint shop had 3 level of tint the one I got which is the legal one a medium one and the limo dark. I used the medium one last time and got a ticket for it. So just legal for me....

Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 27% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 27% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 27% of light in.

OK, but Madico makes about a half dozen different types of automotive film. Do you know what you purchased?

Hmm... that's kinda strange. Is the warranty card from the manufacturer or the installer? The reason I ask is that I have Madico film as well. The warranty card that I received is from the Manufacturer, it also states the installers name, specific type of film and a detachable card that is to be sent back to the manufacturer for registration.

That tint looks super light. Cousin just had 35% installed on a black 335i and it looks much darker. So does yours Gatoman and I believe yours is 30%. weird!

I have 35%, Madico Wincos which was the medium. The other two choices were 20% which was way too dark and 45, which was way too light (and looks similar to the OP's tint).
