Is there different material for the tint, so which kind or brand is good for front windows??

Thanks

I believe the factory tint is 22%. I may be wrong on that. I can't remember right now. Here is a helpful link on tint laws.

I thought my guy said it was like 20%.

 

[capjand1]

any particular brand?

It's in the 20% range, you can get close with aftermarket tints, you have a choice of a little lighter or a little darker, I went with slightly lighter 25% and it matches very well, I spend a lot of time in upstate NY and have never had a problem with the police.

I got 15% on the back & 5% on the front.... if you want them really dark. Im pretty sure that the back is 20% from the factory.

I think its 20%. I have 5% all around and had never had a problem with cops untill last week. I got 2 tickets in the same week for the tint on my Caddy, oh and 1 last month in my wifes vehicle.:nono:

I just had my 2 front windows done Driver and pass side, I told the tint guy to match them to the rest of the ESV. I asked what % the others were he told me 15%. He matched them up and they look good. No problems with cops in Seattle

why would you tint the fronts darker than the rear? Doesn't that look odd? Why not just do 5% all around.

I'm pretty sure 15% over 20% works out to around 5%. That way the front matches the back.

All of my windows match @ 15%

5% in front, limo in back.

Because it makes the front 5% match close to the back.... actually the back is a little darker than the front even with 5% on the front.

Oh I got it, I must have misunderstood. Ya, 15% put OVER the factory tint would make it match. My B!

lower light visibility doesnt necesarily mean darker ... if you go to a really good tint place they should be able to color match 25% and 20% anything with a 5%-10% range ..... i got 5% in the back and just 15% in the front .... but he colormatched looks perfect .... either way the back is 20% for sure .... i doubt it 22% cuz i havent heard about increments of 2% unless you get 2% tint .... and its not 25% ... so id say 20%

Llumar window film ATR 15% matches very well.

yeah i thinks its 20% i got 0% all around my caddi but for having them like that ur looking at a guy that has had more then 10 tickets only for tints jajaja but hey im not gonna take em off i already got used to them even tho i dont see that much to the outside and next week im putting the 50% on the whole front window and on the top a 5 inch 5% bar so it wont look obvious i have the whole window tint

I got a wote fo $80 to tint the two front windows? is this okay?

 

[CadillacGrillz]

u know whats the good thing about living on the border of mexico that u go over there and u tint the whole vechile for 50 $ and to say the truth for me they do a better job then over here and its not an ugly tint paper but no its not a good price becuz its almost always 40 for both windows

I think I paid $75 for mine, so ya thats good. And thats the cheapest I found and it was at a very reputable place.
