What percent tint do you have? Do cops in WA mess with you? I need to decide what percent I'm getting. The darker the better... Any suggestions?

i think 15% all around is legal in wa, shops wont go darker cuz they are liable. but if u do cash + no receipt, im sure some might do it

 

interesting....

how can the cops say its not 15% darker/lighter?

in bc, its illegal to have front windows period.

 

when i say all around, i meant drivers, passengers and rear, front is a no no

 

Its 35% AFAIK.

 

Incorrect. The legal limit is 35%. And, most shops will go down to 5%.
Because some agencies caring tint readers. It is a device that slides over a window and reads through the tint.




I have had 5% for almost a year and I have yet to be pulled over for it yet (knock on wood). Seems like they seem to be pretty chill with it. I have been pulled over probably 10 times in the evo and no cop has said anything about it. It is pretty fugging dark too. In the day time you can BARLEY see a shadow through it, but in the evening/night you can not see ****.

 

damn 35 is hella light

 

Yes it is. But no hassles from the cops...even though to be fair as Jake notes above they don't seem to hassle much about it here as they do say in FL or CA.

If I was to do it on my next car i would try 25% or so which seems to be noticeably darker, but not so dark that you can't see out of the car at night .

 

I have 15% onyx, which would be around 10 maybe a little less. I do get messed with constantly from cops, but very rarely from the tint alone, rather than the whole car.

The only problem I have with darker tint is how annoying it gets, trying to see out, rather than have people see in. Driving at night with dark tint is so annoying I would rather have no tint at all, maybe that's just me but rolling you're windows down to back out of someplace, or looking for a house, or doing anything really, just sucks.

 

I've had 5% tint on my last car and got pulled over but they just gave me a warning... but i have 20% on my car right now and i think its pretty good. You are still able to see at night haha.

 

i got 15% on mine and dont have an issue with seeing out or hassle m cops. probably easier to see out cuz my last car had 5%

 

I have 15 % and love it, 5% is too dark IMO.

 

Think I may go with 20%. Anyone got pics to share??

 

On my car I had 5% in my rear window that rolled down and 20% all around, cops never bothered me about it. Been pulled over and their bright flood light just flashes through anyways haha.

 

I've had 20% on all windows for over a year and ive never once had any issues
