recently saw a members car that had 30% tints on the back and 50% on the front.

looked really nice as the 50% was nice and subtle so you could still see in and i dont like the look of cars that have a dark rear and then clear front looks silly imo.

so can you do 50% tints on the front and not upset the local constabulary or is it treading a dangerous path??

The fronts have to let in 70% of the light and the windscreen 75%.

So I'd say no.

Are you sure they weren't the other way round?

Nick 'Keano' on here is the pro tinter

Any additional tint on the front and your running the risk of having your pants pulled down by the 5-0!

thats what i thought rich.

carl i think 50% is the lightest you can have, with 5% being limo dark?

IMO the OEM privacy glass is perfect, becuase it looks dark from outside but visibility is not effected from inside the car.

I used to stock 70% but you could barely tell it was there.

The lower the percentage, the darker the tint. The % represents the amount of light that passes through the tint.

I'm out of that game now though

Fell out of love with it dude. Turned what should have stayed as a hobby into an all out graft-a-thon. + I was offered a brill job at Na***is in Doncaster. Not sure if you know it?

thanks nick, mmm yeah that looks too dark so maybe 70% on the fronts or leave as is

rich83 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 06, 2012, 11:25:19 pm »

I understand mate. Not heard of them, good company?

keano · « **Reply #12 on:** August 06, 2012, 11:25:51 pm »

50 all round was a favourite of mine :)

I'll try and find a pic of a gti with just the rears in 15%

EDIT:

Ta daaa

so in your opinion would 70% at front and 50% in rear look nice and subtle and not gangsta
