Window tinting

Safety Car
Probably most have done so. My state (North Carolina) requires tint compliance measurements as part of the annual vehicle inspection, so it is tough to get tints darker than the legal maximum, which is 35% and nothing on the windshield.

I think 35% is pretty standard. I believe that's the limit in Texas as well. The windows on my Z06 all say "70% transmissive minimum" so if I understand that correctly, all I could legally do would be another 5%, correct?

Fixed your thread title.....capitalized your first word and corrected the word "tinting" for you.

I did not want to go too dark as it makes it difficult to see out of at night. I went with LLumar CTX 40% VLT. While it is on the lighter side, the black interior helps to darken it up.

I did mine a couple of months ago. An absolute necessity in AZ.

I'm in Michigan. 50% front, 20% sides and back. Not legal but I haven't had any problems.
Had the Caddy done a couple of weeks after I bought it.
Liked it so much I had the Z06
Done at the dealer before I took delivery.
Feels like you are overdriving the lights if speeding after dark.
But fine at posted speeds.
The look is amazing though.

I did my Z06 right after I got it. Now that I'm in Sebring, I need to find another installer for my Z51. Tint makes a big difference here in the sunny south. I noticed that my air conditioner works much less with a good tint.

Thank you, I had that done in Carbon Flash Wrap when I had the Jake installed about a month ago. I may switch the front tint to 40% tomorrow. Still undecided.
Update: today is tomorrow. I will take some pics same time same location to get as close to possible the difference with door open pic side by side
