Gonna tint my windows!
Been doing lots of research in the forums. So I decided to get all windows tinted except front windshield of course. Only thing is it has to be 56% or lighter for it to pass inspection according to a local auto shop(Japanese GT Auto) I called. I've never seen what 56% tint on a car looks like. Can anyone post a pic or link?

I didn't think they made a tint with an obscure percentage like 56%. There has also been discussion about tints on the forums if you want to bother searching. If not I'm sure fellow members will chime in.

From what I read you can still have dark tint on the back windows and keep the fronts untinted.

It'll block 64% of teh light.
Which is not next to nothing.
It is however a long way away from blocking 75 or 90% of the light, which is the range of tints you'll see on the back windows of many cars and SUV's.
I'll also bet the front windows come with a tint already. I was planning on doing 50% on the sides and back, front is illegal in NJ and I hate the limo back but none up front look, just looks ghetto to me.

I have 50% on my car and it's absolutely perfect.. I don't want to be hidden, besides dark tint on a brand new car always looks tacky. 50% connects all of the windows together with that "smoked" look, yet you can still see very clearly at night with all the windows up.

35 is legal in MD i have that with 5 on the front window. just the 8 inch strip. and that is still very light. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR STATE LAWS. my gf almost went to jail because she had 3+ repair oders for having 20% and 15% multiple times. She was facing 3 months in jail and 2k in fines plus a lawyer. Lucky her mom works for the best lawyer in MD and got her off with nothing. Goes to show stay legal!
