Hey everyone,
I recently got my front two windows tinted and wanted to see what you all thought? I was on the fence about getting 35% or 25%, but was urged to get 25% since the it would match the backs best. The back were measured to be 20% and the 25% tint on front brings it down to (18-19%), while if I had done 35% it would have been brought down to (25%) Do you think the front tints are too dark or is the aesthetic worth it?? I live in Illinois so either 25% or 35% would have still been illegal: I am unsure whether I should keep the tints or go back and have 35% put on instead ( its about 7% lighter than what I currently have)? Would this make a noticeable difference? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated |

as big as this glass is... yes, keep it as-is...
you WILL notice a very distinctive difference VS 35% on a silver car 35% wouldn't be bad... you would have tinted protection against heat gain and glare.... and on cloudy days would like it was tinted darker... but with the 20% or 25% you'll appreciate it more on bright sunny days... no question. |

I live in Illinois too and went with 50% on the front driver and passenger side windows. They are a little light for my tastes (I've since adjusted to them) but staying legal outweighed getting a closer match. In IL if there is privacy glass on the rear windows of an SUV or van then 50% is the legal limit on the fronts.
