What’s it like having a car with 35% tint?

Performance & Modifications
1

I’m considering getting my car tinted with 35% and would love to hear from anyone who has experience with this level of tinting. What should I expect in terms of visibility, especially at night? I’ve heard mixed reviews about how it affects driving during different lighting conditions.

Here are a few things I’m curious about:

  • Visibility: How does 35% tint compare to 20%? Is it significantly darker or still manageable?
  • Legality: Are there any legal considerations I should be aware of in different states? I know some places have strict rules about window tint percentages.
  • Aesthetics: How does 35% tint look visually? Can anyone share before-and-after pictures or any tips on choosing a color that matches the car?
  • Personal Experiences: If you have 35% tint, do you have any regrets or things you wish you knew beforehand?

I’m eager to hear your thoughts and experiences! Trying to understand this better before making a decision.

I have 35% tint on my car, and I’ve found it varies by state. In California, it’s legal, but the front windshield is limited to 70%. Always check your local regulations to avoid fines!

That’s good to know! In New York, I believe anything below 70% is considered illegal for the front windows. Just a heads up to everyone in the northeast!

In Texas, the law allows 25% for the front side windows, so 35% might attract attention. I’ve seen some people getting tickets for it. Worth checking the laws before you commit!

Exactly! And if you do get pulled over, penalties can range from a warning to hefty fines. Check state regulations!

What about international laws? I’ve heard that in some countries, even 35% tint can get you into trouble. Can anyone share experiences from abroad?

I’ve seen folks in Europe dealing with strict tint regulations. In Germany, for instance, they often mandate a minimum level of transparency. It’s fascinating how laws differ!

Wow, I had no idea! Makes me appreciate our relatively lax laws in the U.S. Can’t imagine getting fined for something like tint!

I actually love the look of 35% tint, but the hassle of legality has me nervous. Anyone here gotten a ticket? How much did it set you back?

If it makes you feel better, I know a guy with 35% tint who has avoided fines for years! Just don’t park near certain cops. It’s like tint roulette! :joy:

For real! It’s a gamble! But in all seriousness, make sure you’re informed about your state laws. It can save your wallet!

Having 35% tint is fantastic for keeping the car cooler in summer! I’ve noticed a significant difference in heat levels, especially after it’s been parked in the sun.

Absolutely! It really helps with heat reduction, and I love how it protects against UV rays too. My skin feels much better after a long drive.

I’ve had 35% tint for over a year now, and it definitely keeps the car cooler. Also, it gives a sleek look, so that’s a bonus!

Totally agree! Plus, it’s so nice not having to squint at the sun while driving.

One concern I had was visibility at night. But with 35% tint, I’ve found it’s manageable. Just need to adjust a bit when it’s really dark out.

I hear you, visibility can be tricky. But that same tint makes the cabin feel like a sanctuary during the scorching summer months! Worth it!

Is 35% tint really enough to protect from UV rays? I thought higher percentages were needed for better protection.

Great question! 35% provides decent UV protection, but if you’re particularly sensitive, you might consider going higher.

I love the privacy it offers too. It feels like you’re in your own little world, especially when stuck in traffic!
