Guest hometheaterman Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I know you guys hate limo tint however some states do allow you to do the windows as dark as you want on the rears on MPV's. With just 5% on the rears you can still see through it fairly easily. I think 5% over factory tinted glass is about perfect however on cars without factory tinted glass you can't do that. I know Gila makes a 2.5% but I was wondering if any quality company made a quality tint that was darker than 5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveofeen Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Optical Technologies makes a 3% and I love it. Honestly though, between 3 and 5 I'd put money you couldnt tell the difference. But if it makes you warm inside then its worth having a lower number VLT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryker Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 my question would be is that 3% as on automotive glass or on clear plate glass like other films are?? 5% with 70% glass would be 3.5% after all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hometheaterman Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I guess that's about right as my Llumar 5% metered out to 4% on my truck. I was just curious if there were any quality films that were a 2.5% or something similar without doing 2 layers of 5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryker Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 OMG....dude, 2 layers of 5% is not 2.5%!!! do the math! It comes to 0.25%!!!!!!!!!!! put a piece of 50% with 5% and you get 2.5%.....and 50% might as well be clear for all it is worth to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tintgod Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 OMG....dude, 2 layers of 5% is not 2.5%!!! do the math! It comes to 0.25%!!!!!!!!!!! I thought 5% + 5% was 10%.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkdan Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I only stock 5%. This way if they want 35%, I just tint the top two thirds of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
