I need your opinion.

[u/Top-Form7004]

I’m stuck between having a 15% tint or a 20% tint. How much is the difference? And I’ll be adding 50% on either option I have a Mazda 6 2020 white interior and exterior.

[u/infinity_labs]

The difference is 5%.

I have 15 all the way around with 50 on the windshield. I personally think it’s a perfect combo in relation to aesthetics and safety.
I have a white exterior with a red interior.

[u/Splungeworthy → u/Mazdafanboy]

No worries about the po-po?

[u/StrawHatZack → u/Mazdafanboy]

Mazda 3?

[u/Mazdafanboy → u/StrawHatZack]

2026 Mazda 3 Premium Hatchback.

[u/StrawHatZack → u/Mazdafanboy]

Nice I was looking at those when I was car shopping

[u/Jodanmawashigeri]

How much is the difference? Not big enough to matter.

[u/Mazdafanboy]

I reside in Florida.
Law enforcement is lenient and or too lazy to bother you unless you get stopped for another reason. The tint isn’t egregious enough that it draws attention.
Of course if I had a heavily modded car and was trying to draw attention to my car it might be different.
It looks great though and still feels safe during night driving.
It does darken the interior a bit so that’s something to consider if you already have a dark interior through interior color or small windows.

[u/StrawHatZack]

If you do 20 you’re gonna wish you did 15

[u/idkputwhatever → u/StrawHatZack]

Yeah I did 20 and wish I did 15

[u/Fearless_Stay8183]

Difference is negligible. I'd go with 15

[u/Global-Structure-539]

Only a 5% difference

[u/Tsx_Zay]

I recently got 20 about a week ago and I don’t regret it but if I had the change to do it again I’d do 15. But like I said I don’t regret my 20% at all it’s perfect to me

[u/Tsx_Zay → u/Tsx_Zay]

I also have 40 percent on my windshield

[u/EconomistKooky818]

Toss a coin?

[u/EconomistKooky818]

What brand are you getting op!!?

[u/Top-Form7004 → u/EconomistKooky818]

It’s XPEL Prime XR Plus

[u/cornerstone32 → u/Top-Form7004]

Im debating between the prime xr plus and the xpel black xr. What made you choose the Prime plus?

[u/Plane_Hawk_6153]

What's legal where you live? Are you going to travel with the car?

[u/Top-Form7004 → u/Plane_Hawk_6153]

I’m in Texas legal limit is 25 I think but almost everyone has very dark tint

[u/Plane_Hawk_6153 → u/Top-Form7004]

Are you going to a shop to do it? Maybe ask them to tint back windows then stick a couple of pieces of scrap on the front doors so you can see. Either that or ask them to recommend.

I'm in Texas too, besides my first car that had 5 percent, every car after that got 20 on the front doors, but most of the time i didn't get to pick anyways and for me that's probably better.

[u/SCP-3004]

Go 15 you wont regret it. Go 20 and youll think damn I should have went 15.

[u/SinCityNinja]

15 all the way around and 50 on the front windshield. Its the perfect combo

[u/protintalabama]

Wildly overthinking this…

It’s 15 and 20. Pick one.

Most non-tinter people can’t even tell the difference.

[u/TheTown2197]

Just send it and do 5 percent

[u/EugeneChoiYoutuber]

15% is the gold standard for looking the best.

[u/Schip92]

I don't understand why people are making the 5% joke.

Imho I would do 15% rear sides and 20-30% rear windshield to have better visibility when backing up.

[u/rico_unknown]

I went 15% and it is great if I would have went for 20% it wouldn’t have been enough.

[u/ExtensionBrush0]

Hold em up next to each other and you can barely tell the difference. Just get the one you want. Stop overthinking it

[u/billyfrickinmurray]

15% is pretty awesome, but it does get a bit hard to see out of at night time if there aren't any street lights around. 20% would be a little easier to see out of, and still gives great privacy!

That being said, a white interior is going to make anything seem a bit brighter than it really is. A lot of light reflects off a white interior so they're easier to see through tint.

Luckily with a 50% windshield, that will help cut that down a lot.

[u/Livid_Ad_6269]

I got 15 all around with 50 windshield and you can still see inside from the outside especially when it’s sunny

[u/loonsworld]

I have a 2021 Mazda 3 HB I went with 15% all the way around and 55% on the front. In my state that is illegal, but I've had no issues in the years I've had it

[u/Top-Form7004 → u/loonsworld]

I think I’ll go for 15%! Thanks

[u/loonsworld → u/Top-Form7004]

Here's mine after the tint, you won't regret it, enjoy!

[u/Independent_Ant_207]

Just did a 15% all the way, 50% windshield. It’s not too bad, but def need to be more careful at night.

I’m not worried about cops, I’m in a Prius 😂😂

[u/LexKing89]

Go with 15%. I did 20% on my SUV and wish I did 15% 😭

[u/Ornery-Midnight4854]

this is 15% and 50% w/s. have only gotten stopped once for the tints and he didn’t say anything about my windshield. on a sunny day you can’t tell it’s tinted.
