here we go again...

yes fl law reads 28% front 15%rear ( if your at 27% n 14% no ticket, if your at 20% n 10% pay up)

what we use at the shop lists at 35% n 20% but they also make a 30%(which is the same as the 35%) ea company lists product as they see fit.. you'd need to measure ea glass (bcuz ea glass will have different reflective properties) before & after the tint is installed to get an exact measure.. fyi you'll also get different readings if the measuring device has new or older batteries..

i have never been stopped in Ga for tint. but in NYC,NJ,DC all i got were warnings (bcuz i had an FL license an the car was registered in FL) and i had double 5%... so if they should have given me a ticket... too little too late...

fyi my car now has 35% all the way around....

i am considering the drop next, but i believe i might just tackle the front rotors and pads first.I'll have them turned and replace the front pads. That needs more attention than dropping the vehicle.

California there's no limit on how dark for the rears but can't have any up front. So mines is 5% rear windows and no tint on the front windows. I also have my sun shade up during the day to make it even darker inside the car.

15% all around except for windshield, which I'm either gonna do 50% or the llumar80 blue tint

Tint thread highjack! Im running on full mirror tint except the rear windsheild is 5% dark. I dont know what you could classify mirror tint % as but its like 50% all around. A cop flashed a light at my window and got blinded LOL!

Really nice look. And you have PM buddy.

Could you get away with at least 50% on front door windows?..or 70% on windshield and front doors to darken them a little without being too obvious for UV rejection

williakz

Aren't they already at 70% from the factory? I thought that's why 35% film takes you to 35% VTL once it's applied. We need a tint expert here. Oops! Make that "VLT" - told you we need an expert...

i love the way those wheels look on the car and usually i don't like the black windows but it flows well...do you plan to lower it any?

CJITTY, did you get the high speed balance done at Butler Tire? Or another shop?

yes i will drop it, but i probably need to address the brake issue first.The whole "slapping" sound of the front end. Sounds as if the brake pads were "dancing" inside the caliper or something along those lines. I dont think it is my brake actuator.

Usually unless the cops are complete dicks, you can get away with 35% tint all around in California. The only time I've heard heard of people getting pulled over were for tints 20% and under.

Sorry to hijack your thread. You're a lucky man. I wish my gf would put in 3k for a set of rims.

CJITTY

Yup, Butler Tire Marietta. I heard Gran Turismo Motorsports, who do awesome alignments on lowered cars by the way can do High Speed On the Car Balancing...I also learned that Metro Wheels and TIres on S Cobb Dr in Marietta can do this too...PM CL Member Rome99LS for more info on that since he works there.

CJITTY

I can confirm that my OEM windows are at 94% because with my 25% tint, the meter actually reads at 19% (6% difference to factor in). This is what usually gets most people...to get 20% tint, you actually need 25% or so. There is usually a +/- variable they factor in..for example you get 35% and the meter reads 30% and the state of GA requires 32%...they won't ticket you for that..but, once you stray past that 10% less than legal limit is when you get in trouble.....sorry for continuous hijack OP..since the tint discussion is happening, I guess this is relevant.

By the way OP, something is not quite right...I think you need a front lip on that car to set it off
