20% is good


Tint %..which One? - Canadian ST - 09-17-2007

So is it the lower number% the darker it is? Whats the legal front limit?


Tint %..which One? - konafocuswrc - 09-17-2007

20%..i haven't seen it in person...
do u have link or others to show 20% clearly??


and i don;t think putting in front is legal in ontario..


Tint %..which One? - 05blackzx5 - 09-17-2007

most ppl say that 35% is the legal limit for front windows
but a lot of ppl put 20% on and nvr have any problems


Tint %..which One? - konafocuswrc - 09-17-2007

u can put tint on front windows too??in ontario??

35% is the legal limit on the front door windows of any vehicle in Ontario. You can put 20% on rear windows, and as dark as you want on the back window. I went with 35% all-around on my stang, as it's interior is dark to begin with, and night time, it's hard to see into my interior. I had 20% all-around on my focus, and never ran into problems...I think that's because it was a black car, and the tint was the same colour and darkness all the way around...

Another vote for 20% all the way around.

I'd say that looks more like 35%+

20% will be darker than that, then 5% is even darker

Or !!! you could do mirrored tint like the rallye cars have! or even a mirrored fade to black B)


Tint %..which One? - SL8RZZX3 - 09-17-2007

Are you doing it your self? Or having a shop install it? i know where i had mine done he held up different shades of tint to see what i liked. To me 20% is perfect, because i like to see where i'm backing up to at night


Tint %..which One? - Gravter - 09-17-2007

I got 15% on mine and like it.
If 20% would have been available, I would have taken it.
So I vote 20% for u.

Looks like it's up to the discretion of the police in Ontario...

Tint Laws

I went with 20% all around the Marauder. 20% on the ZTW front with 15% on the rears.


Tint %..which One? - konafocuswrc - 09-18-2007

i might try 20% but will do it on my own..
if i screw up, then i will take it to pro..

thank you for the tint law link..

Tint %..which One? - Gravter - 09-18-2007

I paid $200.00 for my ST and it's guaranteed for as long as I own my car.
Had it done in Pembroke, Ont. @ Normandeau's.
