This is the best pic I could find of my tint. All the others were really reflective and didn't really show the tint. Anyway I've got 15% all the way around.
I'm not really sure how tints are catagorized I've also heard the same tint described as an 85%. I think it's just the difference between how a company describes their tint, either by light blockage or how much is let though.

:o Check this out this is what I did.
You know how on the ride above you can kinda see through it even though its dark.
Well when I picked up my ride there was an option to have factory privecy glass on it wich was kind of mirrored ( looks like a mirror but not as reflective) Well I had then do the windows like that so that meant the glass was design that way now applied but put into the glass.
I then went & got the darkes tint I could get My ride, looks like I have Blackened mirror's (if that's even a word). Every one always ask were I can get that done.
It is very hard to see through in the day from out side you just get a refelection of your dark self. You get very faint images of the window molding on the other side you cant really make out anything.
:silly2:
Some 411!

Hey Jason, you call that 15% Out here, where i got mine done, the percent is the amount of light let in.......so my 95% out back lets in 5% etc.........

hmm.. I've always heard it referred to as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25....40 % tint.
thought it was wierd to here people refering to 5% as 95% or 15% as 85% etc...
guess it could be either way depending on whether you view the glass as half empty or half full! :p

I didn't want to go to dark because I've been hassled before for tint. It's illegal here to tint any windows that are in front of the driver's shoulder. So I went with something that wasn't too dark to keep low key. If a cop can't see the driver then he has right to pull you over under suspision and make you peel off the tint right there on the side of the road. If it's not too dark they generally won't bother with ya.

The one's I'm trying to sell? Nope the ones pictured above are the stockers. I'll probably end up keeping my current 17's for winter and wraping some auto-x rubber around the stock 15's.
