35% vs 20% vs 5% Window Tint! What tint is best for you? 

😆😆

@Anna Jordan FACTS

@Anna Jordan 😂💀

I’ve been fishbowl riding since August, and I’m finally getting tinted windows. I’ve had ppl wave at me and all on multiple occasions lol.

pink flameee But I want to look how pretty you are 😂

Exactly why I tint mine, bad parts of town people like to see what I have in my car or truck and that’s not good

Right same like not freaking dark dark but I just want to have privacy I hate clear windows

@@ogeeezzz8130 I'm Black and can confirm. I tinted my bathroom mirror with 5% so I won't be seen by myself in the morning and try to rob me.

My life > tint ticket

Same

JoshTries thanks for watching! Glad I could help :)

Ryan Mayer can I do 35% in the front and 20% back 2 windows plus the rear?

Lowrider703 E Yes, you can do that. check your local laws if you want to be extra safe and not have any trouble with police

I agree

Geo Hanerio r u nuts?? 5 front windshield???

where i live, we call a car with no tints a "fish bowl" so she's pretty right 😂😂

Fish bowl

She's not lying. We refer to it as a fishbowl. Just bought a new car, and I have major fishbowl syndrome. Getting my windows tinted this weekend

My city has recently been experiencing a heatwave, and I generally park my car out in the sun, both at home and at work. After consistently having to start my car and let it run for a few minutes before getting in myself so I don't boil to death, I resented and scheduled a tinting at a shop near my work, which is going to be 6 days from now. I went 35% front and 20% otherwise

@@brendancross2767 did the tint help out with your problem? I also live in a pretty hot area so I'm wondering if a tint will help block out some of the heat.

it is thats why i went double 20% lol

20% of 20% is 4%

@@nolanvasser2725 are you saying double 20% IS 4%?

@@ラッセル9728🤣

Yes. 20% tint lets 20% of the light in, converting from % to normal numbers 20% by dividing it by 100 which is 0.2. Then when you stack 20% ontop of 20%, its only letting 20% of 20% of light get through. You can find the amount of light getting in by multiplying 0.2 by 0.2. Which is 0.04, multiply this by 100 to get a % again and you have 4%. Thats why i find double 5% is so stupid. Its literally 0.05*0.05 = 0.0025% visibility lol. @@ラッセル9728

Casual hahahahahah that's awesome

Alberto Rodriguez i have a full led interior kit with additional lighting. if you turn it on you cant see it from the outside

Crazily enough, I never got ticketed even with cops right behind me. I feel like you can get away with more things like this in Hawaii than any other state.

I once saw an all black crown Vic on the highway like that

I think black cars with all around limo tints looks terrible. IMO the front driver and passenger sides should have a lighter tint. The different shades of tint from front to back gives the vehicle more style and character. It doesn't make an all black car look like a huge black block on wheels

Plus turn on your dome light.....I have LEDs in the back which fully illuminate my car so he can see in well before he gets to me. I actually got out of a 20 over speeding ticket at night because he was so impressed that I cared about his safety.

Dexter Bentley are you an officer?

WCF thunderwin4-2 Really 😂😂😂

TheChampDMan z I was being sarcastic der deer der

Dexter Bentley why not just roll it all the way down?

That's cool you can pick up prostitutes for sure 🐭

You think thats bad i got 5% over 5% over 20%

I have double 5% on my avalanche I'm fine...it's just hard to back up in my yard....

lol

Brandon P yup my car had 5% all round and when I parked at night I was like fuck haha!

Bruce Lee hahahhahaha

Bruce Lee Im dead

Bruce Lee Damn! good one...

lmao

Bruce Lee To be honest I prefer this comment cause that's putting it bluntly

Stickity Man realest comment here

what if its raining/snowing? is it worth it?

@@YoungshoesTY most likely not gonna stop you for tint. cops dont want to stand in the rain.

ShyTy they wouldn’t be able to tell if it was tinted that bad then. Dumbass. 🤭😂

What if you just get them tinted and you get pulled over? You’re not supposed to roll the windows down LOL

MuahMan the comment I was looking for😂💯

MuahMan drugs? Really? What a degenerate.

You cant tint out the smell of that gas you be smoking

Was wondering what would be the best in between tint, thank you kind sir.

BLUESROCKBBQ AND HOT ROD SHOP. ok karen

Miguel Angel Medina Rise true bro😂😂😂😂

5% is a dyed film that ABSORBS heat and the cops DO CARE. You WILL get a ticket .

Tint doesn’t help with temperatures

@@H2Ojellyfish I'm aware of this now

@@H2Ojellyfish im confused now, everyone is saying tints help with the car not being too hot

Relatable

Sameeee

im tired of seeing people seeing me pick my nose

Exactly why I’m getting 5% installed right now😂😂

Underrated asf comment lmao

Hy. Me too

Me too, I was like woahhh I’m glad I watched this cause I want darker tint

I thought that too. That’s why I’m like 20% but it’s dark and ima have to get the front 2 lighter

Lmaoo my dad had to remind me 4 times that the lower the percentage, the darker it is. And yet here I am again...watching a video on how dark the percentages are. 😂😭

5% means that only 5% of the suns uv rays are getting in. I have double 5(0%)all the way around and 15% on the windshield. Shits perfect but I wouldn’t start out that dark. I started at 5% and 20% on the windshield and worked my way down as my eyes adjusted overtime:)

That's the most popular shade I install.

But can you see while driving at night?

@@LegendInThaMakin Yes you can.

aye bro i’m getting mine tinted soon but what about the windshield? do you tint that to?

@@jesusnevarez3506 I believe any windshield tint is illegal

YIKES YOU GOT THAT RIGHT

Geeez remind me to not drive thru ur state 🤣

Getting pulled over for tint is like getting pulled over for an air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror/obstructing windshield; they, for whatever reason, think you're suspicious and that they can find something else to get you a ticket (inspection, registration, drugs, warrant, etc). Plenty of agencies do in fact have ticket quotas- and that increases the likelihood of bullshit traffic stops.

Been pulled over twice for mine. Get a doctors note for your eyes from an eye doctor lol. I have sun damage on my eyes. But just say the sun really hurts your eyes and gives you a headache when driving

I believe in some states you are not allowed to have any tint on the front windshield (i could be wrong)

Stax Zaza 'fore you come inside i got the info!

groovy fuck took her to the in zone from the Enzo

5%

Pow... nobody now

blau! nobody now

@@roz99999 night time is enough to make you go “goddamn👨🏻‍🦯” but definitely tolerable. But where it really shines (or doesn’t) is in the afternoon driving home from work and the sun not beating up your face but definitely enough to keep people from seeing you. I honestly wish I would have gone a little darker in the rear but it’s enough to keep other peoples lights from bothering you in the mirror 💁🏻. And ultimately…it looks great🤷🏻

​@impleno4438 20 is best. Still find it a bit too light tho. Probably cuz I only have a 6" 20% band to the top of the windshield so u can see pretty clearly into my vehicle depending on the angle u look from. I might put 35 on the windshield tho

So what's best?

@@Giggidygiggidy12 20 percent is the best hands down.

My question is where do i get the tinted at? Bc i know 20% is illegal

@@ybbcj depends where u live. Most places will tint beyond

@@samthatboul5375 I like my 15 better! I had 35, 20, 15 and 5. I like 15 the best, 20 the second best and 5 the 3rd best. 5 was to dark, but I’ll take 5 over 35

ShaneTIME lemme see what I can work up this weekend!

No one ever shows at night.....

Brennen Lankhorst he made that video already ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KsNNeIrJCSQ.html

I got 20% on all windows except my windshield and feel like It’s at I’ll too light, do you think if I get 20% on my windshield it will make it darker?

Yes I have a Mazda and the interior is really unique in the windshield is very close to the front seats you can touch it without even leaning forward so it makes tint look less dark.

Brown Hombre Scared? Just check your states laws first.

I have never seen 50% I work in parts store ...been there 7 yrs an have never seen 50% .....35% driver an pass window an u can spray paint the others if u want where I'm from

Same here man

Haha me too,fuck that 5%all the way baby way to hot not to have dark ass tint stop the sunlight from coming in

Vegas Gang here!🤟🏼

Best comment on this post

I live in Vegas too. Do you guys recommend any places?

+ronald gonzalez Hi, what type of tint is it? "true black" or charcoal"?

ronald gonzalez same here and love it

same, i had 20% it was very dark. was always worried about getting pulled over

I've got 20 now and I'm about to get 10, the 20% just isn't dark enough.

You may as well go 1% TRENT.

Never forget the button under the mirror that flips it indirect also.

I feel you. Just bought an 09 Subaru Outback as my daily. It's a fishbowl and driving at night is UNBEARABLE, especially since most people nowadays are completely unaware that their highbeams are on.

you shouldn’t depend on someone else to have on their headlights just because you want 5% tints, you’re the true dumbass

Yeah 5% sounds completely stupid to me.

Same, I have 5% on my Mazda and I’m used to rolling down the windows for dummies with no headlights on at night, very dangerous if you’re not careful.

35% for front windows and never been pulled over …. But seen people with 5% and cop didn’t pull them over

@@kelvinperdomo8201 yea cops don't give af in California every mf in my town got a racing car with 5% and I've never seen them get pulled over

@@enrique5565 lol biggest cap of all time. It depends on who stops you and what kind of attention your car draws. I've gone past many cops with 5 % and I've gotten ticketed by several cops while I had 5 %.

The most restrictive outlaw state

I live in NJ too i think I’ll do 35%! How’s it treating you

I thought NJ was free af with tint. Lmao I see cars limo’d out all the time.. From NY

joewillgo what the heck that's literally so lame, I don't get why the law hates tint so much

Ryan Mayer in new Hampshire no tint on sedans what so ever suvs 35 in rear and whatever in the rear of trucks if you have 4 outside mirrors

joewillgo I live in philly I have 5% all around except the windshield didn't get pull over ..... yet.....

joewillgo whaaaat! So confusing 😂😂 who ever made that law was on somethin!

Bao Le ayeee thatta boy! Hahah tint isn't really a problem unless the officers have nothing better to do

20% is the most popular shade I install . Good choice.

Do it. I have double 5 (0%) all the way around and 10% on the shield. Shits perfect ! But I wouldn’t start out that dark. I started with 5% and 20% on the windshield and worked my way down as my eyes adjusted overtime:)

CarimboHanky hahahah atta boy, sucks the local PD gives you so much shit but gotta roll tinted always

No chicken shit tickets is what's wrong with this world. Its mostly city PD that will give you hassle and troopers where it is illegal. It's basically a tax. A way to pay the local government. That officer safety bs only applies if its like 5-20 percent and at grave yard shift.

+Vic O. Not even! Windows can be rolled down. If the pigs where all about their safety, they would tell you with a megaphone to roll down all of your windows and step out of the vehicle BEFORE approaching the vehicle. This is just a law to make them flex their muscles.

CarimboHanky when you get pulled over say you didn't know about the tint, play the part you shouldn't get a ticket lol. I've had this happen to me about 4 times never got a ticket lmao

Nay Cee our traffic law have this fineprint that says ignorance of the law does not release from responsibility. soo yeah, there was this one time a cop pulled me over and he was writting a ticket for the tints and i told him "i think its funny and ironic you are giving me a ticket for my 20% tints while driving that" i pointed at his copcar that was equipped with 5% tints. he laughed and let me go hahaha

Dub City Stacker 😹😹😹😹💀💀💀💀

Your right 20 won’t pass inspection

Inspection? Like smog?

What inspection? U mean smog?

​@@definitionXrp like smog?

I want 20 so bad but it’s so hard to find a place that’ll pass it

@@grod805 yo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just obey all speed limit laws and traffic and you should be fine lol. Just make sure you never have any burned light bulbs also, I got popped for that and if they wanted they could have ticketed me for windshield but didn’t 🙏

😂😂😂😂

So true

W

Exactly, did you pick a tint and how is it ? I want tints to protect my privacy but don't want to draw attention at the same time haha

efrain martinez i had windows tinted yesterday, and I thought the same. For my back windows I chose 5% since you can tint it however you want. And for my front windows I chose 18%. It is still pretty dark but people can see body outlines. So personally for me, 18% is a way to go if you’re worried!

I hope you learned that every state has a tint percentage law for every window!

@@804MRMAN Actually, I’m in Canada lol. At least in Ontario, the law only requires front windows to be higher than 35%, and the front windshield cannot be tinted at all (for newer vehicles). As for the other ones, you can tint them as dark as you want.

@@peter_hhm gotcha

Same, are you doing 35% windshield and side front windows and 20% rear windshield and back window?

I went 35% all around and no tint yet on window shield, Drove my cousins car with 20% all around and could't see at night.

I’m going for the same combo 😎👌

Sounds pretty useful

💀Tf am I reading, probably stopped looking different at layer 2

Tiffany Sheets lol I’m going to Arizona state and i think I’m going to just put 20% on all my windows. Don’t wanna go super dark because i want to be able to see at night lol. Hopefully cops don’t pull me over when I’m back home in Cali

Glad I don’t drive around u

Also they make ceramic tint for heat blocking it’s way higher quality and clearer to see out of

You wear sunglasses yet you have tints on your car.. Weird

Ruby Gadbul It’s Arizona. Where do you live? Norway? I wear sunglasses in the grocery store too!! You are weird AND lame!!! Lol

Corinne magee hahahha so truuuue I've had friends judge me for the white Jetta but hay she looks slick 👌🏼

Corinne magee Wow.

Thanks for sharing! I'm sure any cop would be understanding if they heard why you got the tint you did. 35 is legal in MD, but it would be nice to do 20. I just dont wanna waste my money in the event that I get in trouble for it

I agree with your logic. I currently have 2020 Ford F350 Dually, and did clear tint windshield - Air 80 and 30 front, 15 rear and 15 back. I find it very hard to back up at night and changing lanes is much harder during dark. I just ordered 2022 Ford and am going to still do Air 80 for windshield may do 35 all the front and rear.. and for back windshiled - may do 35 , 30 or 25

I got 5 per cent on my 3 back windows and i cant see at night AT ALL . It's super dangerous and i have to get it removed and replaced with something lighter I didn't know i wouldn't be able to see at night time. Imma used to checking my mirror constantly and all you see with 5 percent is pure darkness at night. I'm getting it redone tomorrow because at this point i cant leave my house at night because i can't see and don't want to risk an accident

Hey how bad is 60 windshield at night? In winter? I was gonna go 20/50 but I’m not sure now cause if this comment I’d I should go 75 windshield or just not bother

@@5gun1 No idea. But bare windshield glass is apparently 75% or so, so anything above 70% isn't going to make it any darker since a tint's darkness is supposed to be including the bare clear glass. (If you have a truck with dark back windows, though, you have to factor in the base darkness on top of the tint darkness, and most factory stained glass is around 20%, so 20% on a 20 stain is 5% and 5% on a 20 stain is 1%) I have a sample that's 53% in my tint meter case and I held that up to my eye while looking through the side of my car in bright daylight, and I'd say that's about the minimum you need to remove the searing brightness from reflections. Real shit, 50% on the windshield and 20% or 25% sides is going to be the ticket. Not less than 15% on the front sides. If it's too dark, upgrade your headlights, but don't just get any shit. Come back to me if you decide you need to and I'll make you some solid recommendations. All the good bulbs are gonna be at least $100 a pair, though.

Lmfao

I was thinking of trying that! post a vid

TheRam010 you're welcome! Love being any help I can be! Thanks for watching!

What did you end up going with? Also deciding between the 2.

@@WestSide1207 I don't remember exactly, but I feel like I did 15.

25% all over?

for cars but for suvs and trucks they have there own rules, but now that inspection includes a tint check makes it all hard now

New Yorker here too and effective January 1st 2017, examination of tinted or shaded windows will be required during motor vehicle inspections. A video about this change is available on RU-vid. Section 375 (12-a) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law does not allow a windshield or front side windows that are dark. The windshield and front side windows cannot block more than 30% of the light. Seventy percent or more of the light from the outside must pass through the window. This law also applies to the rear window unless the vehicle has outside rear-view mirrors on both sides. The mirrors must give the driver a full and clear view behind the vehicle. Rear side windows must also allow at least seventy percent of light from the outside to pass through the window if the vehicle is classified as a station wagon sedan hardtop coupe hatchback convertible I drive a truck and plan on tinting the shit out of my rear windshield and rear windows and putting 3M Crystalline 90% on the front windshield and Crystalline 70% on front driver and passenger windows. I also have my own inspection guy who look the other way if i pay the right amount. All this law will give an excuse for cops to write more chicken shit tickets for the shitheads in "office" Soon we won't be able to drink out of drinking fountain for more than three seconds or face a fine. This state sucks so bad with its weather and taxes and its chicken shit tickets.

Vic O. Dang New York getting Hammered apparently with tint laws that's rough

What if the windows are factory tinted?

AHCy0 in new york trucks, SUVs and commercial plated vehicles the rear windows can be as dark as you want. Hense why SUVs and trucks come with about 20% tinted on the rear from the factory. But sedans, coups, hatches are limited at 70% all the way around.

I was suggesting that to my customers as well.

Wow amazing story.

Totally

Sounds like just another day in the 'hood.

Newer vehicles already have a 3% tint in the glass. Florida legal limit is 28. Which would bring the percentage on the glass to 25%, which is legal. You have to allow for the variances in the glass. Interior color, sunroofs also play a major role on how dark the film will look from the outside.

Hi Nick, I'm currently trying to decide between 20% and 35%. Have you experienced any issues with your 20%? I'm in Ontario and 35% is the legal limit here (as of 2017)

I think ima go with 20% I have 0 factory tint and I’ll just roll down my windows/ turn on my ticket light (I drive a crown vic) if I get stopped

@@deathraydave Right. Hey bozo, they pulled you over for the tints in the 1st place. Roll down your windows, put lights on, turn the sun on! Means zero. Do you also put your seatbelt on when cop approached. the same cop who pulled you over for seeing you NOT weraing a seatbelt??

@@midnightaria856 yo LC! I am also from Ontario! Which tint did you end up going with?

I turn my dash panel light on high😂😂🤣😂

You certainly sound like a cop, but I'll let you off with a warning.

What did you decide

@@elenar7836 I went with the 20% no regrets! Still clear enough to see fine at night (took a couple of days to get used to it though). Are you deciding?

Did you do the same for rear? Well i was thinking 35% or 20%

Is 20% see through in the daytime?

@@elenar7836 also I did get pulled over once for speeding (15km over lol) and I just made sure I rolled my window down which is what people say to do with an "illegal" tint. He didn't say anything about it.

Ceramic is some awesome stuff. Most people just want dark and I think more are starting to realize more of the benefits of Ceramic even though it's been out for a long time.

Shieng 85 🤔 how'd you know this is Eric's second channel lolololol

Yup I’m from Richmond,VA and I see people with crazy tint all around their car

Did you get it done? How is it at night?

Love Always Wins! How is it did you get it ? I’m thinking of getting it 20% ???

Hey yall love u! Yes, I ended up getting the 20% and it's pretty dark at night! I got a tint violation on New Years as there were tons of cops out! 😟

@@lovealwayswins6784 Is the viability poor at night? Thanks

not true

If you have a truck or SUV down here you can go darker in the rear because its privacy.
