So Im finally gonna get some tint on my Mach soon, but I cant decide what to go with. I know I want tint all the way around, except the windsheild, but I cant figure out how dark I want it. Even though its illegal to tint your front/side windows in California, I still want to get some tint on the sides, just not so dark that Im gonna get f**ked with.

What do you guys suggest, just getting a mild tint all the way around, or getting the rear windows darker?

Dustin, if you dont go 5% on the back and at most 25% on the sides of that beautiful car you'll be hearing from me:D
From what i hear Sac cops arn't bishes about it.

LOL...5% would be sick...Thats like limo tint right? U dont think it will be too dark in the back?



35% in the front and 20% for the rear and rear quarter panel windows.

thanks...does any1 have pics of different %'s & combos?
 
my wifes honda is 15% all around and it is easy to drive night and day. she doesnt get pulledfor it either. my mustang is 5% all around. i can see out ofit just fine but i get pulled every now and then. my ranger has 5% on top of 5% and it is blacked the **** out!! you cant see **** in or out of the back glass. it doe save me from seat belt tickets though. i like my tint DARK!!
 
Yes, i have 5% back and quarter windows and about 20% sides. Backing up at night does suck, use ur side views. But that pales in comparison to the benifits of having no headlight glare from ur rear view at night from cars behind you and them illuminating ur whole car. Also it keeps ur car cooler when hot which is nice with leather. And EPIK i know u have that mach black/dark grey leather interior

Get limo on the quaters windows and rear. I have medium on the sides with is dark enought to hide but light enought for a cop to see....Dark is awsome but i track and need to see easy...but i wanted dark
 
Thank u for the suggestions,& everybody else...Im still undecided 4 the moment. I dont think I wanna go 5% in the rear though, but maybe a 15% rear & 25% or 35% front. Ill have to think about for a little while. Oh & Chris, & SRThandz, the Laser red Stangs are lookin sick, & Erik, Sonic Blue is my favorite Stang color besides Chrome yellow....

yep laser red, sonic blue are some of the best colors ford made IMO. Can you tell the diff between my old camera and my new one? lol
 
Just my two cents but I would go dark out back and light on the sides so the cops don't mess with ya to much. That car is beautiful. I would love to have a mach hood and scoop on my 02 gt.

Very nice ride man. :)

Thank u...Im just not that fond of the drastic difference of having real dark in the back, & then light on the sides, thats why I would just rather do a medium tint all the way around.
 
thanks erik, Glad you like....Lazer Red FTW

I like my medium and limo set up because it can hide but in the day it looks not took dark. Cops have NEVER bothered me for my tint because with medium they can still see you...but at night it hided and cant see anything. It all depends on the amount of light in the car.

Get only limo on the quarter and rear....it look like **** if its not BLACK on the rear and quarters.

SRT, your Laser red has held up extremely well, u must garage that thing.Most SN95 Laser red cars dont look that shiny after 10 years of sun....Your tint looks pretty sweet 2....Have you gotten pulled over for the sides @ all? I just wish u would make your pics a little smaller...LOL
 
^^ definetly does depend on the amount of light in the car I also have 5 on rear and quarters and 20 on side. Dark during the day but not ridiculus (I though it was very dark at first but have gotten use to it) and at night its prety damn dark. If someone was up next to me at night they won't be able to see me for sure.

Not trying to hijack this but what did everyone do about the rubber bumps, did you guys just tint over it or did the guy cut the tint before. That top line in the rear looks ****ty on mine because of the tint over the raised dots. Im probably just getting a black banner decal to cover it.

Just have a tint shop remove the tint on that part & install a black vinyl strip on the inside over it. If you have dark tint, u cant even tell its there from the outside....
