Mark...is your car tinted?
I didn't think it was, but the first pic (close up) looks like its tinted, but the second pic does not look tinted.
Im confused
Thank you all for the photos! All your cars look gorgeous! I think on the white cars you maybe need less tint because of the contrast. The company I go supplies Llumar, I had Llumar Titanium on my CSL but now I want to go for Alu Light which is 21%. But I am a bit confused, does anybody know if it is 21% translucent or 21% tint? I tried it with photoshop and than I paint the windows 79% black, but don't know if that is right...

@Slammed M6 - Yep, its tinted.
I have 5% as well...you can see through 20s easily in the day and depending on the lighting outside, even at night.
5% all the way...
here are a few quick pics...

I have always tinted as dark as I can go.... I am used to it so no issues with parking or night driving....the tint I have is not legal where I live...it is far too dark and meant for rear windows, but law enforcement has 1000+ better things to do....I am sure if I got nicked and was being a jerk, they could write me up for tint....but they would need a light meter with them to verify I am out of compliance :wroom:

The number is percentage of light allowed to pass. So a 20% tint blocks 80% of light.
The only issue Ajax has is rear view mirror thru back window at night is quite reduced. But at high speed rapid acceleration, anything in the rear view would quickly disappear anyway.

25% is the lightest you should go with a black or charcoal film from either 3m or lumar and do like a 15%/17%/20% or be like me on all my cars and do the limo 5% for ultimate sun and people protection and look's great!

Tint laws vary by state:
Auto Window Tint Laws | TintCenter Window Tinting
Window film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here is Hawaii it is 35% all the way around (except the front windshield of course), so it's not as dark as some other places. Some dudes have very (illegal) dark windows but that pisses off the cops a bit. The keep claiming they can't see if you have a weapon drawn if they approach the car at a traffic stop, yada, yada, yada.
Still, like most places you probably won't be stopped for that alone. But the cops do have light meters in many cities (I know a guy who engineered light meters which were sold all over the country).
I have to keep my car as legal as possible because of where I have to drive it for work. But that's OK by me as it is dark enough for heat reduction (especially when parked) and it does look better. I can't think of any color M6 that would not look better with tinted windows.
