Window Tint Comparison: 35% vs 30% vs 25%

[@PratikParija]

Very helpful, thank you! 35 seems like the perfect balance.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad it was helpful! 35 is good, its not crazy dark looking in some light, but if you want to stay "legal" it's a good way to go haha, I'd do the windshield like we did too, would make it look a little darker.

35% seems sweet spot🤗

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

And it's legal LOL

[@Oivey2000]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Just picked up an 06 Lexus SC430 convertible. Took it in today for a tint est. 35% is legal in my state, but we have LOTS of cars here with darker and rarely, if ever, do the cops stop you. The guy showed me 35%, 25% & 5%. I decided on 25%. My main goal is heat deflection, but I like the privacy as well & think the darker color would look good on that car. Yet I want to be able to see out at night. You think I'm going too dark at 25? I can always change my mind...but liked the look of that next to the 35% better.

Knock on wood, we've never had any issues with getting pulled over for the tint. 35% is a good legal limit if you want to play it safe, and the 70% we have one the windshield is a first for us, you can't even tell it's there and helps block to sun for sure!

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

I remember getting my first tint job done way back in 1994 and the laws in NC were that 35 percent was the darkest allowed and a sticker had to be put in the corner confirming it. Haven't had a tint job in years but it seems like it's a little different now in terms of the laws. I must say that to this day I still think the 35 percent is my favorite!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I think the Jawas are a bit more lenient now a days. As long as it doesn't looked 'blacked out' you should be good. But the heat technology is amazing! Even the 70% on the windshield block nearly all the heat just like the darker sides do.

True, it's brutal here in SoFlo... especially in the dead of summer.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Another thing to consider is pairing windshield with sides. You can have your sides 3x to maybe 4x darker than your windshield, but when you start pairing 15 sides with a bare shield or 5 sides with a bare shield (bare shields measure 75-85), it's as if ALL the light gets funneled through the windshield directly into your eyes. The best look IMO is sides 2x darker than shield. So 70/35, 60/30 (if you can find 60), and 50/25 would be about ideal. Having dealt with 15 twice and a 30 windshield once, esp in the rainy countryside at night, I wouldn't go darker than 40/20 ever again. Once I get my money up, my current car is gonna get 70/35 for optimal night driving safety. You can always add darkness with sunglasses, but you can never un-tint your car at a moment's notice without permanent consequences.

For me 20% is what I would go for, along with 70% windshield tint. Keeps enough privacy during the day and enough sight at night. Of course, a lot of people struggle with sight at night, this is only my preference as my eyes change colors depending on night/day to best suite both.

His Supra’s 35% tint is definitely darker then my black challengers 35% tint. Maybe it’s his 70% tint on the windshield or that’s much lower then 35%.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The different colors could throw it off and the interiors can make it look different too. It's 35% on the Supra, the windshield wouldn't really effect how they look.

[@kidlo2050]

I got 20% regular on my 09 corolla no windshield. I have a lil trouble backing up at night because I have manual windows and led reverse light is almost useless. I just got a 23 tacoma and i was planning on going 35% ceramic with 70% windshield. My my question is. Is 35% useless and a waste of money? Because I like my privacy but wanna pass inspection.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I wouldn't say it's useless. With the right film, all the percentages do the same thing (block heat), the difference is the color of the film. So 70% blocks just as much as 20%, it's just not as dark. In certain situations, you can see through 35%, it's still darker than no tint, but I'd say if you can go with 30% or closer to it and are able to pass, you might like that better. I had no problems with 35% on vehicles, but if you have to pass with 35%, you might not have a choice.

[@kidlo2050]

@BrosFOURRSpeed In Louisiana the legal limit is 40% but I went ceramic with 35% on the front and 50% on the back because the 3 back glasses come factory deep tinted. Did go with the windshield film but my tint blends all around at a certain angle. I'm satisfied with it.

[@kimjin3942]

Thank you very much Bros! What % do you recommend for the front windshield and rear windshield if I get 30 on the sides?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

We stuck with 70% since technically the windshield is illegal to tint, at least where we are. So that gave us the projection without being obvious that the windshield was done. And with the rest of the glass and dark interior it makes the windshield look dark too. You can go darker, but if you want to fly under the radar, stick with something a little lighter!

[@kingofkings1959]

I’m in New York City, I’m thinking 30 all around. I just don’t want to get tickets from cops. What ya think? Is it dark enough but so dark?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

30% is a good percentage to go with. Depending on the lighting you can still see in some, but in darker lighting or at night, it's very hard to see in. I've been ok with this % and haven't had any issues with it.

[@demonicchaos09]

Got a newer ram 1500 has privacy glass already on back end which is descent dark threads say comes out to around 26% if tested not real tint and doesn’t block uv but I like the Tacoma look. Did you put 20% over your privacy glass. Was wondering if I put 30% over my privacy if it would hit limo which I don’t want.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I can't remember exactly, but it's in the install video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHmrc6ykmKtsZqs I went with 70% on the windshield and I think 70% overlaid on the privacy and then I had 28% or so for the front sides!

[@tonihay]

I can't find information about visibility driving in the country. Would 35% allow you to see wildlife such as deer alongside the road?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Honestly we have no issues with any of our cars. Once you get under 20%, thats when it starts being too dark at night.

[@Abbyssna]

Y’all did a good job on this video.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thank you!! We've had a ton of tint questions so decided to show some of the differences!

[@KevinF]

Has probably already been said in the comments but be careful with the laws for your state. In Georgia, anything under 32% for side windows is considered illegal. My new car will most likely be getting 35%

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Every state will be different, so yeah, just have to check depending on where you live.

[@SparzWizard]

I'm debating if I should get 50 front or 35 front, Ceramic tints. Back will have to be either 30 or 25. Won't go anywhere 15 or less. Live in SoCal, sooo just a bit wary of the cops here. It's definitely hot here all 4 seasons. Dark blue exterior, black interior.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

35 is a great way to go for looks. But if cops give you issues, so whatever works. But if you do a high quality tint like the Xpel XR+ you wont have any heat issues. Do a 90% film on the windshield that way it blocks all the heat from entering the interior

[@marcholler4047]

I got a black WRX with black interior. Do you think 25% will be too dark or should I go to 30%

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You really won’t notice a difference since it’s so close!

[@ItsCreates]

Anyone know if 35% on the driver sides will get me pulled over in LA ?

[@ramontorres6257]

Legally speaking, pretty much all tint is illegal on the front of the car. Police need to be able to see into the vehicle so if they're having one of those days they can give you a hard time. 35% is enough of a sweet spot that you still get some of that privacy without completely eliminating view into the car. Just keep those windows cracked when they come around and you should be alright. Ive seen darker than 35 on the street near cops and they didn't bat an eye so just try not to bring any extra attention to yourself.

[@sebastianpacheco9636]

I have a Chevy 94 and have no idea what percent I should get cause I don’t want to get pulled over. Got any recommendations?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Check your local regulations on the percentage you can go with. If you'd like to stay legal, for us it's 35% or lighter, that's a great way to go. We haven't had any issues with 25% and a lot of people go dark, but if you want to stay legal, it'll still give it a great look!

[@danemeinerz2110]

I live in a state where 50% is legal, If I get 35 will they bother be for it?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That depends on if the police see you and want to pull you over if they notice. But most of the time, it's not an issue. I have 20% on my car and legal is 35% and I've been good so far. But also depends on if you have state inspections, they won't pass it unless you know someone who will.

No. You will hardly notice any difference. We do that on all our cars. Blocks all the heat tho!

On the GTR, do you have 30% as the driver and passenger windows including the back windshield? And what do you have for the front windshield??

I dont get these numbers. My Tiguan is 55 back and 15% front and it looks just like these.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That's a good percentage all around! Just depends on the installer you go to! Get some quotes to see what you are comfortable with! In general, for the right window film, you're looking around $800-$1200, somewhere around there.

[@Izzy-ll8fn]

Would it be worth getting illegal tints like wat are the chances of getting a ticket for it?

Depends on how strict your state is. Some are crazy and will pull you over no matter what. Others are pretty lenient and only give you a hard time if you're doing something else bad

What about front windsheild? I have a small fixed crack in my windshield and I'm not sure if companies will want to tint over it bc normally they wont touch it if there's a crack(from my understanding) Maybe a dumb question but do most people tint there front windshield or just leave it alone? Wouldn't it be hard to see at night with a tinted windshield?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That's a good point to bring up, I'm not sure on if they would do that or not. If you don't get that fixed, it will get larger in the long run, so you'd probably have to replace it at some point. After that you could tint it. But for visibility, and the fact that we did 70%, you can't even tell it's there. 70% gives it a stock look and gives you the added protection! I don't have any issues with it at night time! Only thing is the 25% on the sides, that's as dark as I would go for night driving.
