I mainly want tint for privacy. I hate when I'm sitting in a parking lot or in a bad part of town and I know people can see everything I'm doing because I have no tint at all lol
Exactly why I tint mine, bad parts of town people like to see what I have in my car or truck and that’s not good
Right same like not freaking dark dark but I just want to have privacy I hate clear windows
@@ogeeezzz8130 I'm Black and can confirm. I tinted my bathroom mirror with 5% so I won't be seen by myself in the morning and try to rob me.
My life > tint ticket
Same
I feel so vulnerable in a car with no tints
😆😆

@Anna Jordan 😂💀
I’ve been fishbowl riding since August, and I’m finally getting tinted windows. I’ve had ppl wave at me and all on multiple occasions lol.
pink flameee But I want to look how pretty you are 😂
I’ve removed my windows and replaced them with opaque plastic , don’t worry about people seeing in I can’t even see out . I love it
Now THIS shit is hilarious
😂😂😂😂
He hasn't been heard or seen ever since .
🤣🤣🤣

My daughter compares riding in a vehicle with no tint to being in a fish tank 🤣🤣🤣🤣
where i live, we call a car with no tints a "fish bowl" so she's pretty right 😂😂
Fish bowl
She's not lying. We refer to it as a fishbowl. Just bought a new car, and I have major fishbowl syndrome. Getting my windows tinted this weekend
My city has recently been experiencing a heatwave, and I generally park my car out in the sun, both at home and at work. After consistently having to start my car and let it run for a few minutes before getting in myself so I don't boil to death, I resented and scheduled a tinting at a shop near my work, which is going to be 6 days from now. I went 35% front and 20% otherwise
@@brendancross2767 did the tint help out with your problem? I also live in a pretty hot area so I'm wondering if a tint will help block out some of the heat.
i have 5% limo tints all around my car cuz i have an ugly face and dont want to start accidents
😭😭😭😂😂😂 omg best excuse for the cops
Felt this
Same , with my windshield 15%
BadkinG umm ok 😂😂
Daaaamn
wow ur the only guy that showed the inside AND outside of the car tint. You r a big help thanx bro
JoshTries thanks for watching! Glad I could help :)
Ryan Mayer can I do 35% in the front and 20% back 2 windows plus the rear?
Lowrider703 E Yes, you can do that. check your local laws if you want to be extra safe and not have any trouble with police
I agree
Geo Hanerio r u nuts?? 5 front windshield???
My Escalade has 5% and I can't see shit at night.
That's cool you can pick up prostitutes for sure 🐭
You think thats bad i got 5% over 5% over 20%
I have double 5% on my avalanche I'm fine...it's just hard to back up in my yard....
lol
Brandon P yup my car had 5% all round and when I parked at night I was like fuck haha!
20% seems like the perfect tint honestly
it is thats why i went double 20% lol
20% of 20% is 4%
@@nolanvasser2725 are you saying double 20% IS 4%?
@@user-ii3cp7ot3s🤣
Yes. 20% tint lets 20% of the light in, converting from % to normal numbers 20% by dividing it by 100 which is 0.2. Then when you stack 20% ontop of 20%, its only letting 20% of 20% of light get through. You can find the amount of light getting in by multiplying 0.2 by 0.2. Which is 0.04, multiply this by 100 to get a % again and you have 4%. Thats why i find double 5% is so stupid. Its literally 0.05*0.05 = 0.0025% visibility lol. @@user-ii3cp7ot3s
I have triple 5% all around on every window including the windshield. My car is undrivable. Looks cool though.
Casual hahahahahah that's awesome
Alberto Rodriguez i have a full led interior kit with additional lighting. if you turn it on you cant see it from the outside
Crazily enough, I never got ticketed even with cops right behind me. I feel like you can get away with more things like this in Hawaii than any other state.
I once saw an all black crown Vic on the highway like that
I think black cars with all around limo tints looks terrible. IMO the front driver and passenger sides should have a lighter tint. The different shades of tint from front to back gives the vehicle more style and character. It doesn't make an all black car look like a huge black block on wheels
Pro-tip: If your tint is too dark according to the law, roll your windows down at least part way so that the police can see inside of the vehicle during a traffic stop, especially at night. The officer will appreciate that and you'll be less likely to get a ticket for your tint. We don't like walking up on a car and having no idea how many occupants are in the vehicle or what they're doing.
Plus turn on your dome light.....I have LEDs in the back which fully illuminate my car so he can see in well before he gets to me. I actually got out of a 20 over speeding ticket at night because he was so impressed that I cared about his safety.
Dexter Bentley are you an officer?
WCF thunderwin4-2 Really 😂😂😂
TheChampDMan z I was being sarcastic der deer der
Dexter Bentley why not just roll it all the way down?
I guess I’m the only one that thought the higher the % the darker the window 😂😂opposite
Hy. Me too
Me too, I was like woahhh I’m glad I watched this cause I want darker tint
I thought that too. That’s why I’m like 20% but it’s dark and ima have to get the front 2 lighter
Lmaoo my dad had to remind me 4 times that the lower the percentage, the darker it is. And yet here I am again...watching a video on how dark the percentages are. 😂😭
5% means that only 5% of the suns uv rays are getting in. I have double 5(0%)all the way around and 15% on the windshield. Shits perfect but I wouldn’t start out that dark. I started at 5% and 20% on the windshield and worked my way down as my eyes adjusted overtime:)
A cop once told he don’t give people tickets for tint because he do it too so he don’t care I love that cop 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
5% in Florida because it's hot as shit and cops don't care. it's fucking great.
Miguel Angel Medina Rise true bro😂😂😂😂
5% is a dyed film that ABSORBS heat and the cops DO CARE. You WILL get a ticket .
Tint doesn’t help with temperatures
@@H2Ojellyfish I'm aware of this now
@@H2Ojellyfish im confused now, everyone is saying tints help with the car not being too hot
Just roll down your windows when you drive by a cop
Stickity Man realest comment here
what if its raining/snowing? is it worth it?
@@YoungshoesTY most likely not gonna stop you for tint. cops dont want to stand in the rain.
ShyTy they wouldn’t be able to tell if it was tinted that bad then. Dumbass. 🤭😂
What if you just get them tinted and you get pulled over? You’re not supposed to roll the windows down LOL
I’m just tired of people watching me eat so...5% here I come.
Relatable
Sameeee
im tired of seeing people seeing me pick my nose
Exactly why I’m getting 5% installed right now😂😂
Underrated asf comment lmao
I have done this on 2 of my vehicles and I really like it. I do 5% on the sides and back, 20% on the windshield with 5% Shade band and I love it. I live in FL so it really helps with the sun and glare. I haven't been pulled over for just my tint, but if I do get stopped I make sure I put all the windows down so the officer can see into my vehicle and have never had a issue.
so at 20% see a silhouette of me masturbating but at 35% can see im circumsized
Bruce Lee hahahhahaha
Bruce Lee Im dead
Bruce Lee Damn! good one...
lmao
Bruce Lee To be honest I prefer this comment cause that's putting it bluntly
5% tint makes it so I have to roll my windows at night. I went with 15% the 2nd time. Much happier, and still light a blunt in the car without people seeing! :)
MuahMan the comment I was looking for😂💯
MuahMan drugs? Really? What a degenerate.
You cant tint out the smell of that gas you be smoking
Was wondering what would be the best in between tint, thank you kind sir.
BLUESROCKBBQ AND HOT ROD SHOP. ok karen
Good review on explaining window tint! I have really dark windows on my SUV but now gettin my car done at 20%....so this was the first video i viewed and probaly the best! Thanks hun!👍😁
Thank you so much for this video! I was tired of fish bowling and went with the 35% tint all around on my Camry! Provides a nice smokey shade and privacy without being too dark 👍
Hi how often do u get stopped? I just bought 35 and have a Camry too
@@PokeysMM2 never
Getting tint because i feel awkward as hell sitting at a red light lol especially in traffic 💀
Or when someone's driving directly next to you smh
😂😂😂fr lol
😂 same
Thought I was the only one 😭
You need to work on yourself.
Great video. Thanks for showing the inside too. Most videos don't do that. I have a Dart GT that I want to tint to 35%, so the fact that you showed the same car @ 35% was great! I now have a much better idea of what it will look like.
20% is the sweet spot. My law enforcement relative told me to turn on my interior dome light if I ever get pulled over at night to help law enforcement see how many people are in the vehicle.
Im getting my windows tinted tomorrow & I'm set on 20%. This video was very helpful. Definite subscription
I got 5% all around on my 2012 Impala ltz where I live they care about tint but then again they don't depends on the officer if any of y'all do get 5% try not to draw a lot of attention like blasting music ,speeding , any of that it was cops behind me plenty of times and didn't pull me over a officer told me when I was at a store that he doesn't care about tint he said he has better things to worry about than some tint
QuietBoy Malik exactly i have 5% all around
+QuietBoy Malik In which state are you though?
Robert Bidochon φ Maryland
And it's gonna get even easier to do dark tints cus of all these youngsters going into the police force who most likely have a nice little ride at home with some dark ass tint lol
QuietBoy Malik can't really see a night, windows gotta be down
Thanks for making these videos Ryan. Really helped me in deciding which % tint I might be interested in! Very informative and nice to see an example of the tint shades so I sort of know what I'm looking for before going to a tint shop.
TheRam010 you're welcome! Love being any help I can be! Thanks for watching!
This really HELPED!!!! Thanks man! You’re a legend🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this content! As some of the others have pointed out, it was really helpful to see the exterior and interior of the following tint levels! ^-^
I live in Las Vegas where we're playing floor is lava all summer long. 1% it is.
Haha me too,fuck that 5%all the way baby way to hot not to have dark ass tint stop the sunlight from coming in
Vegas Gang here!🤟🏼
Best comment on this post
I live in Vegas too. Do you guys recommend any places?
Definitely needed this video, I've previously done 5% tint on a car of mine and found it too dark, especially at night. So, I wanted to see what 20% and 35% looked like to see which to get on my new car. This helped a lot! Thank you!
So what's best?
@@Giggidygiggidy12 20 percent is the best hands down.
My question is where do i get the tinted at? Bc i know 20% is illegal
@@ybbcj depends where u live. Most places will tint beyond
@@samthatboul5375 I like my 15 better! I had 35, 20, 15 and 5. I like 15 the best, 20 the second best and 5 the 3rd best. 5 was to dark, but I’ll take 5 over 35
who’s that creeping through my window
Stax Zaza 'fore you come inside i got the info!
groovy fuck took her to the in zone from the Enzo
5%
Pow... nobody now
blau! nobody now
Thank you kindly for both day and night videos. It was really helpful to compare and make a decision about what tint to go with 🙏😎
Thank you for the explanation of what tint to use, it was very helpful.
I’ve gotten pulled for 50% on front two windows. Guess that cop was having a REALLY bad day lmao
YIKES YOU GOT THAT RIGHT
Geeez remind me to not drive thru ur state 🤣
Getting pulled over for tint is like getting pulled over for an air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror/obstructing windshield; they, for whatever reason, think you're suspicious and that they can find something else to get you a ticket (inspection, registration, drugs, warrant, etc). Plenty of agencies do in fact have ticket quotas- and that increases the likelihood of bullshit traffic stops.
Been pulled over twice for mine. Get a doctors note for your eyes from an eye doctor lol. I have sun damage on my eyes. But just say the sun really hurts your eyes and gives you a headache when driving
I believe in some states you are not allowed to have any tint on the front windshield (i could be wrong)
This was a great video and like you said it does depend on where you live if the cop wants to mess with you or not . My front windshield is 15% and the rest is 5% all the way around . Never got stopped but it’s common here in Vegas though . A cop in Long Beach parked right next to me and he was questioning me on my tint I told him I was from out of town just visiting . He actually cut me a break and told me next time just get a rental lol
Hey man just wanted to say thanks for posting this - perfectly shows what I wanted to know. The other night driving video really helped too. You posted this 6 years ago in what appears to be the States but it's helping me with my tint decision today down here in Aus~ Cheers!
i just got my tint done, 5% on the back 3. and 25% on the driver side looks sweet. originally wanted to do 35s on front and 5s back, but the guy doing it said it wouldnt blend. so im happy i got 25s on front and 5s back. couldve done 18s but didnt want to risk it that much to get pulled over for tint. although i wished i got some tinting done on my windshield
Could you make the exact same video except showing visibility at night? Great vid btw.
ShaneTIME lemme see what I can work up this weekend!
No one ever shows at night.....
Brennen Lankhorst he made that video already kzhead.info/sun/fteHfsmBqXx5hok/bejne.html
thanks for the vid brother !! this is how i made my choice for what i went on my tint for my car !!!! keep the vids up !!! awesome
This was super helpful. I was trying to decide between 15% and 35% on my vehicle and this was the knowledge I needed.
What did you end up going with? Also deciding between the 2.
@@WestSide1207 I don't remember exactly, but I feel like I did 15.
i got 50% on my car because i was scared to get pulled over but at this point idec anymore because i see people driving around with like 10-5% tint all the time.
Brown Hombre Scared? Just check your states laws first.
I have never seen 50% I work in parts store ...been there 7 yrs an have never seen 50% .....35% driver an pass window an u can spray paint the others if u want where I'm from
Same here man
I have 20% all around. You cant really see through unless its a sunny day.
+ronald gonzalez Hi, what type of tint is it? "true black" or charcoal"?
ronald gonzalez same here and love it
same, i had 20% it was very dark. was always worried about getting pulled over
I've got 20 now and I'm about to get 10, the 20% just isn't dark enough.
You may as well go 1% TRENT.
This was honestly really helped I think I understand the percentage of the window tints now, I thought was 35% darker and 5% was lighter, I live in NJ they’re very strict here with tint so I’m gonna get 35 % tint lol thank you seriously
I live in NJ too i think I’ll do 35%! How’s it treating you
I thought NJ was free af with tint. Lmao I see cars limo’d out all the time.. From NY
I think 20% tint all the way around looks the best. Not too dark, not too light... Perfect.
That's the most popular shade I install.
But can you see while driving at night?
@@LegendInThaMakin Yes you can.
aye bro i’m getting mine tinted soon but what about the windshield? do you tint that to?
@@jesusnevarez3506 I believe any windshield tint is illegal
5% all around in both my whips 🔥🔥🔥
I think another big mention for tint factor is your windshield. The amount of light that comes in from your windshield really affects how visible you are behind X tint type for your other windows. So 20% tint all around on my F150 vs it's big/tall windshield is a lot more visible inside than it is on my Supra, which has a very small windshield at a steep angle/lets far less light into the cabin. Also if you get pulled over and are tinted, its always a good idea to immediately turn on the interior light. It makes it easier to see you and they will be less likely to notice or give you shit about it.
I got 20% on all windows except my windshield and feel like It’s at I’ll too light, do you think if I get 20% on my windshield it will make it darker?
Yes I have a Mazda and the interior is really unique in the windshield is very close to the front seats you can touch it without even leaning forward so it makes tint look less dark.
Thank you for telling us the different percent. Helped me decide whats best. Well explained, again thanks for the video
Thank you so much for the vid. I was deciding between 35% and 20% So, this helped me a lot.
Judging from this video I’m thinking just to be safe have the front windows be 35% and the back windows/rest of them 20%
@Pro Joker did you get it like that? How is it at night with little to no light?
Tell us, I think I'm getting the same My car is all black interior and exterior.
Did you get it? I’ve had it like that and still gotten pulled over. All the see if the back ones and assume the front are dark as well. Luckily haven’t gotten a ticket but gotten some close warning.
@@NYGiants4Life Youre legal I have 35% front windows & 20% on the rest not windshield (illegal)
@@enriquealvarez9508 what’d you end up getting? I have an all black car too
I left the front windshield untouched with no tint. 20% on my front driver and passenger, 5% on my rear driver and passenger, and 20% again on my rear windshield. The logic was I wanted to keep the sun from frying the side of my face, I went dark in the back purely because they are my “privacy” windows and 20% on rear windshield so I can at least see when I back up. 16’ Ford Taurus.
@@roz99999 night time is enough to make you go “goddamn👨🏻🦯” but definitely tolerable. But where it really shines (or doesn’t) is in the afternoon driving home from work and the sun not beating up your face but definitely enough to keep people from seeing you. I honestly wish I would have gone a little darker in the rear but it’s enough to keep other peoples lights from bothering you in the mirror 💁🏻. And ultimately…it looks great🤷🏻
@impleno4438 20 is best. Still find it a bit too light tho. Probably cuz I only have a 6" 20% band to the top of the windshield so u can see pretty clearly into my vehicle depending on the angle u look from. I might put 35 on the windshield tho
You were a big help thank you, the only person that showed both inside and outside.
This is a great comparison. As another commentator noted, there is an inside and outside comparison of the various tints. Thank you!
5% all around 09XJR nicely put!
Thank u for the video it help so much now I know what kind of tinted windows to get, I sub :)
Felipe Ruiz you're welcome! :)
Great comparison. Now I know what to get! 35 percent for me. Thanks for uploading.
I know I'm late to the game but this video has helped me a ton! Not only is those the levels I was looking at AND they are on Jettas which is what I have! Thank you!
Great job with this video, thank you for showing us this and doing a good job of it. Only thing that could have possibly made it better was showing us what it looked like at night time via a photo from the inside of each car or something. Thanks a lot, 20% looks like my jam. Cheers.
35% on front & back is clean AF & my go to on any car I’ve owned or will own.
Good video man, I’m at the shop doing 15% on my single Powerstroke, thanks for the detailed info !
Very helpful, it was really the inside I needed to see, so thank you! 👍🏾
I want to maintain the mystique; 20% on driver/passenger and 5% on the back.
5% in the front means you have to roll your windows down when you backup. I have 15% and its easy to see you and can barely see inside on the outside during the day, at night it looks just like 5%
Thanks for this video man . Need help finding what tint percent I want and this helped
Thank you for posting this I'm looking for tempting for my house I don't want anyone looking in at all darker the better I don't want to be bothered with curtains or blinds so I'm going tinting all the way around my house for the windows thanks once again just thought I'd let you know so other people might have the same ideal tempting is not just for cars
Thanks for showing this. May I ask if it was fairly cloudy the day of the video? The local companies only have 80, 40 and 15 ceramic tint in the area I am. (They have 55,33,26 and 15 in standard tint) I really want to go ceramic to see if it works but the choices are limited. I believe my other cars are 33 front, 26 rear. Seems like a 40/15 would be a huge contrast. I don't think I want 15 all around but think 40 may be too light. Your video was a big help in this difficult decision. I'm leaning towards 40 all around for my new Desert Bronze Hyundai. (The color is also hard to match) Shouldn't be to much lighter than the 35 you show here.
There is one HUGE plus for tinted cars. I have 5% on my st and drive in the dark a lot and headlights don’t blind you from the back. I had a big problem with this and it really used to bug me until I got 5%. Disadvantage is that it’s hard to see unlit places and if it’s dark and some dumbass dosen’t have their headlights on there’s no way you can see them. If it’s at that point where its just getting dark and people just don’t turn their headlights on for whatever reason.
Never forget the button under the mirror that flips it indirect also.
I feel you. Just bought an 09 Subaru Outback as my daily. It's a fishbowl and driving at night is UNBEARABLE, especially since most people nowadays are completely unaware that their highbeams are on.
you shouldn’t depend on someone else to have on their headlights just because you want 5% tints, you’re the true dumbass
Yeah 5% sounds completely stupid to me.
Same, I have 5% on my Mazda and I’m used to rolling down the windows for dummies with no headlights on at night, very dangerous if you’re not careful.
Really love your review of all tints inside and out! 🤙
mad respect for making this quality video
I have 6 layers of 5% tint on my car, I can’t drive it even on a sunny day but looks sooo good
Sounds pretty useful
So 20% it is thanks bro 👍🏼
Thanks for showing the inside and outside and comparing levels of tint
This was really a big help and answered all of my questions I would have had
“Driving on the wrong part of town” keep speaking facts
Yes preciate you bro for the video, really helped me out alot
Devin Taylor Made you're welcome my man
Thanks man this helped me out on my choice ! Great video
Great explanation bro. Love the vid. Good job.
You sound like the younger version of Eric the car guy. The way you look away from the camera and back, spot on. lol
Shieng 85 🤔 how'd you know this is Eric's second channel lolololol
As far as I know, some places only have laws restricting the tint percentage of front windows. Personally, I don't really mind if people outside can see me; I'm getting the tint just to prevent my car from heating up like a sauna room when I park at my work place during the day in summer 🙃
I hope you learned that every state has a tint percentage law for every window!
@@804MRMAN Actually, I’m in Canada lol. At least in Ontario, the law only requires front windows to be higher than 35%, and the front windshield cannot be tinted at all (for newer vehicles). As for the other ones, you can tint them as dark as you want.
@@peter_hhm gotcha
This is the Beast tinting experimental informational video out!!!!! Fantastic job bro...
Thank ya!!!
Thank you whoever made up that video. I will go with the 20% tint tuxedo black Mercedes SL I think it will look awesome with that car
Would’ve been really nice to see them all from the outside side by side. Also, backing up a bit from outside would’ve been nice instead of just up close.
20% for me, thanks for making up my mind! Even though I ignore everyone on the road 5% is tempting.
20% is the most popular shade I install . Good choice.
Do it. I have double 5 (0%) all the way around and 10% on the shield. Shits perfect ! But I wouldn’t start out that dark. I started with 5% and 20% on the windshield and worked my way down as my eyes adjusted overtime:)
Thanx for helping me choose which tint to put on my car cause it will be my first car i tint...once again thanx the video was really helpful
This vid helped a lot, thank you man🙏🏼
Thankyou so much for this...I'm getting tint on my windows for the same thing ... I am a new subbie and I love your videos ♡☆ .
When I was a teenager I used to do 35% and put 2% instacling over it!
Great comparison. Many other videos will have 1 car with each window tinted different. Having all of them the same tint makes the difference much more noticeable.
Great video. We are going to tint the windows on our bus conversion and we wanted to go as dark as we could so it will be 5% for sure.
Ooof. I can get any darkness on my back windows and 35 on my driver and passenger and no tint on my windsheild. Imma go 15% on my back windows
Great video. Thinking of doing 35 all around just to make the car look sharper and to keep the sun out some, and also for added privacy. 20 wouldn’t pass inspection.
Your right 20 won’t pass inspection
Inspection? Like smog?
What inspection? U mean smog?
@@definitionXrp like smog?
I want 20 so bad but it’s so hard to find a place that’ll pass it
Great video man, funny as hell too!
This was very helpful. Thank you so much for the tips
Just what I've been looking for.... A tint comparison
Big Warning when it comes to 5%, driving at night can get pretty sketchy if you cant see too well out of your rear view. During the day I dont have any issues, but it took some getting used to.
BEST TINT VID HANDZ DOWWWN 💙
Awesome video. Helped me out a lot. Decided to go for 20% all around.
I'm probably going to tint mine because i hate people staring at me when they drive up next to me at a red light. Like haven't they ever seen a naked guy driving with a finding nemo hat before? good grief...
Agreed! LOL!
This video worked out well as I was explaining a time I was pulled over in NY for my tints being too dark (I had 35%). I have reason to believe some other reasons existed why I was pulled over given he asked me to step out of car and also said he smelled something funky in my car and asked if I had drugs on me) but I digress.
Great video straight to the point with nice examples!
Perfect description of visibility
