Kingsford Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Keep it legal... no sense in paying money to get it done then getting a ticket and having to peal it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigaudiofanatic Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Well than I am going to be illegal, as I have already decided to tint the fronts. If I get pulled over twice I will either lighten the tint or remove it. Just a reminder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGenCoupe Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have 35 all around. It gives a little bit of privacy, but keeps the cops off my back:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillA4 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have 20% on my side windows and nothing on my front windshield. Staties have pulled me over for nothing but window tint and my car looks fairly stock, nothing aftermarket to stand out from the crowd. I'm pulling the Llumar 20% and doing Huper Optik 50% on all side windows and entire front windshield to keep the interior protected but at the same time the police as well since they will be able to see my face.

TazMan Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 20% all around (except front windsheild) but I also have a "letter" from my optomologest that states that I am "light sensitive" which means bright light actually reduces my ability to see clearly. So far so good ::-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Slow Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Remember you still have to look out this window at night. X2. If you have no visual correction you see 20/20. At night in typical driving conditions with clear windows your visual acuity drops to about 20/40. So at night your visual acuity drops 25% but your contrast sensitivity drops 60%. Contrast sensitivity is what allows you to perceive the pedestrian about to cross in front of you in dark clothing against a similar dark background. "Objects can be seen at night only if they are either lighter or darker than their background and can be discriminated by subtle differences in contrast. Visual acuity is critically influenced by small differences in the brightness (contrast) between objects and their background. At night, contrast discrimination is reduced due to low illumination." Uri Polat Goldschleger Eye Research Inst, Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University Risk factors for car accidents due to reduction of visual abilities during low light conditions http://www.oryarok.org.il/webfiles/audio_files/uri_polt.pdf Tinted front windows look cool and are a personal choice. For me I'll some day get the rear windows tinted but not the front for the reasons listed above.
