Tinting: 15% or 20%

Cam.'s Photo Cam. 30 Aug 2012

Hey lads, I booked the lowback in for tint next week.
My mate that runs the shop said that I may not like 15% and that I should get 20%

Do you have 15% tint and wish you went lighter?

Cheers guys!

yep i've done that twice and regretted it.

Even at 20% i have some problems reversing when there's low light but i think that might be my eyes going lol

edit: actually the last one i regretted was 5% and was s**t

I've done 20% thrice and love it!

A little hard to see when parking at night but nothing a little head out the door can't fix!

20% is bang for buck.

Still defectable though, I've been done with it.

I always recommend 20% to my clients. Not too light, not too dark. Just right.

What brand of film does your mate use?

Cheers,

Hi,

That's just your courtesy to others, so we don't have to see you.

:)

Im not a fan of the darker tints, eg. 5%, kind of looks a bit cheap to me. Holden commodorish! I have the Japanese privacy glass and it works really well
(20 percent).

I've gone 15%. Wouldn't go any darker because it's impossible to see out of at night time.

5% on the rear, 35% on the front.

He has also gone for 5% the size of a standard car, but don't let that put you off.

I have 15% and I honestly wish i had of gone a little darker. The boot and back seat windows are really dark but the front windows are still light enough to see through which I find annoying.
