Stock tint %, if any?

[ThisorThatxD]

hey all, just wondering what the stock tint %'s are. i'm pretty sure mine has some for the back/rear. however, i wanted to get matching all around which in VA comes out to 50% since the fronts are the weakest link here.

mine didnt have any tint

[KILLA XD]

it depends what state you live, some dealerships in Tulsa put less then 35% on the car.

mmm, then i guess its just location specific. ill just have to take it in and see.

Either way. Can't go wrong with 20%:happy3: haha

If your asking what the factory glass has for tint its 7%
If your asking what a dealership installed on the car when it arrived to them, no idea... you'll need a tint meter to find out what its at...

This, 20% seems to be the magic number.

as appealing as 20% may be, i wouldnt risk it in VA. they love finding reasons to give you tickets. im going to miss them thinking im just a little econo-box after my modding starts. :emotions36:

almost everyone in Oklahoma is doing 5% or 15%, I'm going to do 20%. they really don't care here in Oklahoma. We don't even have car car inspections.

ii think even 20% is looking alil too clear for me. Or maybe since I've had it since almost 2 yrs lol prolly after winter I'll go for 5% lol

Well, Pennsylvania really sucks, they allow NO tint at all, on any windows... But, I have 35% on my sides and rear, and the cops haven't bothered me... my friend had 20% on his tC, and he got stopped 4 times for tint and they made him take it off the last time... Harassment, I say!!
