Trying to decide between 35 and 50% tint for my SGM F10. Will do same % all around; I don't really care for anything uneven. Anyone have photos to help me decide?
Thanks!

this is lightest there was, from dealer. I guess only 30% tinted, 70% light gets through film, on top of factory window which is as you see on front windows also slightly darker (just like on yours) I figure 35% here overall on the rear.

It all depends on your interior. I have the same tint on both our cars; one with black and the other with oyster/black (IIRC, 45% on the rears, 55% on the fronts and [I think] 50% on the windshield. The look is dramatically different; the oyster/black looks very light while the black looks quite dark.

here's a picture on a nice sunny day. you can see through the car which at times I think maybe my tint is too light compared to my truck which has 50% tint in the rear and 35% on the front. the pictures I posted above was on a cloudy day and to me I think it looks darker when that happens.

It's 50% factory tint from Nissan. if it was limo tint it would be completely black! I had 50% on the driver/passenger side but I got pulled over back in Cali so I had to remove them. had them redone here in OH with 35% just so I don't get pulled over

Bump. Anyone else with daytime or sunlight pics? Anyone have anything lighter than 35%?

% vs darkness
If I understand correctly (from what the tint guy explained to me), the lighter the tint the higher the percentage. The % number represents how much light is able to make it through the tint. So a tint with 90% would be the lightest letting in 90% of the ambient light falling on it while 20% (also referred to as Limo tint) would be nearly black letting in only 20% light. Was I misinformed?
I too am interested in getting the light tint (around 70-90%) that brings me close to how the prior model BMWs (e46) were with (slightly) tinted glass. Appreciate the pictures, please keep them coming.... |
