solara tinting

[MarcoSolara02]

Whats the best way to with the tint on a solara, should i go 5 percent on back and like 35 on the front 2?

i live in cali btw

it looks clean when its the same percentage all around. so go 5% all around or 20 or 35 all around. up to you. also if you have darker interior, the tints will look darker too

Thats what i have on my car. 35 in front and 5 in the back. Im in San Francisco and the cops are dicks.

Anyways, i think 5 is over kill. do 20% in the rears and 35 in front. Just so there is a difference for the POPO. But if you want 1 color do either 35 or 20 all around.

Thanks for the advice Toy. I might go for 35 all around.

[MarcoSolara02]

i think ima do 20 all around, its a black car, so it should lookk good?

should i do the windshield too?

Check your state's tint laws (if any). You might want to check here:

Not sure if this is up to date, but seems like a good place to start.

In cali, we have to allow 75 percent of light in the front windows... which is like a 75% tint.. Which is WEAK.

No windshield tint allowed at all! unless like 6 inch on the top.

Mines are 15% All around. 35% is light in my opinion, I got that for my 91 Eclipse I was not a happy camper.

I have 5% in the the rear windows and 15% in the front.

looks pretty cool, but i might just go 5% in the front as well.

Mine's 20%, but I also have a lifetime warranty on mine, and a promise that if i get pulled over, they will tear off the 20 and put on 35.

I have 10% all the way around (metered at 11%) and i am very happy with it. My tint is not hard to see out of at all either like some may tell you. I can see out the windows just fine even at night. I got a written letter of consent from an optometrist that allows me to have this tint legally. I was a lil skeptical if it would work at first, but I have been pulled over twice now for tint, but let go each time after showing my slip. I got the slip by telling my optometrist that I get headaches when driving from the sun (Photophobia)....it isn't true, but there is no way of testing this condition, lol. Anyways, check with your state laws, there is a chance that it may be legal in your state with a letter or note of consent. Here in MN all i had to do was get a letter from the Optometrist, and in Iowa I had to get a written letter and take it to the DMV (or DOT) to get a tint waiver.

Good idea on the note. Wouldn't help those of us in CONVERTIBLES...

[ToyoSolV6]

hmmm thats a good idea.

i might do that so even if i get hassled they will just let me go and i could laugh when i show them the letter lol

[SleeperSolara]

I got 10% all the way around.

My friend has a note from the eye doctor sayin' that his eyes are really sensitive to light.

[Bippusol]

vegas has to have @ least 35% too -_-
