Just got my windows tinted dark… anyone else into it?

Just had my windows tinted super dark, love the look! Anyone else here got theirs done?

How much did it run you? Thinking of doing it since the car just feels too open without it.

A lot of places don’t allow dark tints from dealerships, so you usually have to get it done later. Always been an aftermarket thing, far as I know.

@Mica
Not sure on the exact tint level, but my last SUV had a darker tint, and it kept things cooler inside. Looking into options for adding it on.

@Mica
In most places, 35% tint is allowed, so you do have options.

Vehicles come without dark tints and usually aren’t tinted by dealerships. Just facts.

Is that even legal where you are? Looks super dark, but pretty sleek!

Nope, it’s not technically legal. Had this kind of tint since I was a teenager, though, and only ever got one ticket—was speeding in a school zone at the time.

@Mica
Is it worth risking a ticket just for the look?

I’ve got 5% ceramic on my back windows too—can barely see at night. Hope you’re okay with some night blindness :joy: Looks good though!

Had a dark tint once, couldn’t see a thing at night except through the windshield. Learned my lesson!

Visibility is rough at night :laughing: Thank goodness for the backup camera. I’m mostly a daytime driver, though.

I’m thinking of doing this too… feels like being in a fishbowl sometimes. What tint level did you go for?

Went with 5%

Just did 5% all around and 35% on the windshield. Loving the new look!

Not usually a fan of white cars, but this looks awesome.

Loving mine! But yeah, after dark, I have to roll the windows down just to see. Night driving is… interesting :joy:

First thing I did after getting my Bronco was 5% ceramic tint. Keeps it dark even when the sun’s still up—love the look and privacy.
