What Are Your Tints At?
#1
What is everyone's tints at?
I know the legal limit is 20% back and 35% front but to help smoothen or even
out the difference from front and back do u think i should do my fronts at around 25% or 20%?

Be the change you want to see in this world.

20% on sides and 5% on the rear, got a ticket once for it. Just a prick cop, having a bad day. He pulled a U-turn and chased me down for it LOL. In the end though he never showed for court.

In ontario there is no set "limit" If the cop can't see you then your likely in trouble.

In SK there is no limit on the rears as long as you have mirrors ( just think about windowless vans), but any amount on the front or front-sides is illegal.

I had my last car tinted to 5% on the rear and I totally regretted it whenever trying to back up at night. I have the Focus tinted 35% around the back 3 windows and like it a lot better. Personally I'd like to be able to see out the windows whenever I'm driving..

You have to be careful with that though, because if a cop sees you with something else like (godforbid) neon lights, he might pull you over and ticket you for having 'dark' windows at the same time.

Although there is no legal 'rule' it is subject to the cops discretion. All it says in the highway and traffic rules is that tint should be light enough not to impair visibility... again, bigtime up to discretion of whatever joe shmoe who pulls you over, in a bad mood because his wife didn't 'perform' last night.
Does a shorty anntena count as a mod?? Wink

why not try "how much are your windows tinted?" easy enough to say.

Lets be honest we drive focus "tints" sounds way to gangster for a focus.
