15% front window tint with back factory 20%

jonf49 · 07-23-2023, 12:14 AM

Anyone have a pic of this combo?

E30Fever · 07-23-2023, 11:23 AM

No. Literally no one has a darker tint on the front. There’s a reason for this. If you can’t figure that out then you’re the problem

hamz · 07-24-2023, 07:06 AM

i got 15s all around and 35 on the front on my m4 i just picked up. after a couple of weeks i wouldnt change it to anything else

Your car is going to look like this.

Even with the windshield letting in more light, I can for sure tell you, it will look off in person.

JAI///M3 · 07-24-2023, 05:15 PM

Just leave the windshield and back glass untinted. You’re welcome 😉

Something is seriously off with OP. He PM’d me to say that the above messages are harassment hahaha

JAI///M3 · 07-25-2023, 01:50 PM

I already offered the 2 most logical solutions. Not sure what the issue is here

1. Leave both the windshield and back glass un-tinted

2. Do not drive the car during daylight hour.

I suppose #3 would be both 1 and 2

Nobody:

Literally no one:

jonf49 “I’m going to tint the front windows darker than the rear. If no strangers on the internet agree, post new thread”

mctigue3 · 07-25-2023, 02:23 PM

Just do all windows 20%

JAI///M3 · 07-25-2023, 02:34 PM

In all seriousness though, I’m a fan of tinting everything (except windshield) the same. Somewhere in the 20-40% based on individual taste. Good luck OP. Don’t over think this one.

G35POPPEDMYCHERRY · 07-25-2023, 02:38 PM

im 18% all around none on windshield. perfectly dark. but i got red leather. black leather might have gone 30

jonf49 · 07-25-2023, 02:46 PM

My tint guy says he’s going to just do 18 on the front passenger and driver windows… and it’s currently 20 all around. It might just give it that tiny bit I need. And at that small percentage i doubt there will be a noticeable difference between the tint all around.

Getting the windshield tinted was a blessing in disguise. It's something I will do with every car from now on. 50% is a great start because it does not inhibit any night driving, and kind of dims headlights at night
