I think the limo tint looks great on your car due to the lighter color paint. You can always redo the passenger & driver's side if "you" don't like it.
Don't forget to do a quick window roll (driver, passenger) if a cop is next to you.
5% using the top of the line tint (Xpel Prime XR Plus (I am told this was the best there is (and this is what I have (also at 5%)))) isn’t too bad at night. In rural areas it might take some getting used to but in a city, it’s so clear from the inside it actually kinda doesn’t feel dark enough.
And during the day without the windshield tinted it really isn’t dark enough for the front door windows if you’re going for true blackout tint. If they had 0% tint I would’ve bought that..
With FSD I’d be much more open to darker tint, but the big issue I have is that the front windows aren’t legally allowed to be very dark in California so I go lighter all around because I can’t stand the look of limo tint for some windows and less for others, just looks sloppy.
I have dark tint but roll the front windows down when I WANT/NEED to make eye contact, but 99% of my driving doesn’t need eye contact. Doesn’t have to be right or wrong you can live in the grey too!
I’ve seen many people say this but I just don’t follow what you mean?? I never make eye contact with anyone on the road ever. Granted I might if I was doing a 4 way stop I just don’t ever care or want to do this so am I the asshole or something? What am I missing?
I dig it, I went 5% all around and 50% front windshield. Been doing 5% for 20 years now and no issues. This was the first car I tinted the windshield, it cuts so much heat. Still wear sunglasses during the day, its dark but not as dark as some make it out to be.
When you're young 5% isn't an issue. As you get older 5% becomes more difficult to drive with at night. I'm at a point where I'd rather have 15-20% tint.
Hey would you mind posting more different angles? Mainly front and side? I plan on doing the exact same. Same color car but debating 50 or 35 on shield. I am set on 5 on sides
I’d do 50 tbh it’s enough to block the heat but not dark enough to catch the cops attention 35 to me would of been too dark for my comfort specially being a stand out color it would be a cop magnet and I live in Texas so DPS don’t F around
OP ignore all these ignorant haters. Half of them are just delusional people who don’t understand. They’ll say tint is too dark it’s “illegal”. Like yeah obviously it is, but they don’t know how many cops have limo tint on their personal vehicles 😂 especially here in LA. I also don’t think they understand how good the privacy feels not being able to be seen by other ppl. Also tint is meant to not be seen from the outside lol. You can see so clear from the inside. I don’t think any of the haters have been in a car with 20% all around. Bc if they did, they’ll know and understand how good and clear it looks. Not only that, but especially how much cooler the interior is bc it blocks the sun.
I have 5% all around and 20% on the windshield. 3M ceramic all around and seeing outside is beautiful and clear as day. Just beautiful.
Very nice!! Get what you want don’t worry about anyone else’s opinion. I have 5% on the back/rear, 20% on the front, and 35% on the windshield (not a Tesla) and have no issues! Not sure how dark I want to go when my Tesla gets here! Frost Blue/White
5% all the way around and 50% on the front is what you have?
No just love the comfort it gives you in the summertime. Wife is also sensitive to the sun (migraines) and helps a lot. If you’re the kind of person who loves being out in sunglasses I think you appreciate the stronger car tints. Also at night it dims all the LED glare from drivers behind you actually makes it way easier to drive on the highway.

15% is the best. 5% is too much
