Tinted windows - Toyota Yaris Forums

monchito18 · 03-11-2009, 08:39 PM

I already have 20% on sides but I have none on front and back window and im getting it tinted by friday and I was getting 40% front and 35% on back but I changed my mind and was thinking 20% front and back but ppl keep telling me its too dark but I just want my privacy.
What do you guys think?

Too dark! You crazy? You'll be backing into things and won't be a safe driver. I wouldn't want you driving near me on the road. Sorry

Don't worry you live too far away

but its true.
Ppl keep giving your opinions please.

I just did 35% all around on mine. It's fine for backing up at night.

lilredrocket · 03-11-2009, 09:57 PM

I have 35% on driver and front passanger and 15% on all the rears and I can tell what cars are behind me at night and backing up is no problem at any time of day

YAR1S · 03-11-2009, 09:57 PM

mine is 35% on all sides except the front, cant remember what the windscreen is..... anyways... it is a good tint. It stops the sun in summer, provides some privacy and gives it a meaner look, hehe.

ok thanks alot now I need ppl that have 20% or darker to give me their opinions about it.

I have 20% on the fronts and 5% on the back. The only time its at all hard to see is backing out in dark parking lots. During the day I can see fine, and at night I can see headlights behind me just fine.

To the person who says it is unsafe - Sorry I got tired of closing my eyes while driving every time a truck with a 48 inch lift and 14 million candle power headlights gets behind me :D. But I feel much safer now that I can drive with my eyes open.

Same goes when ppl are on the back with HID lights its annoying it just blinds me.
And thanks for everything guys, I will go with 20%

Castaway · 03-11-2009, 11:16 PM

I have 5% (limo tint) in the back and rear and i never had any problem backing up or anything, and it's way easier on the eyes when followed by some jerk on high beams.

lilredrocket · 03-11-2009, 11:29 PM

Good choice I love the 15% in the rear of mine. I hate using the little tab on the bottom of rear view mirrors

Aothachos · 03-12-2009, 12:05 AM

i just got my yaris tinted today, 20% all around and the strip in the front windsheild, i drove it all day and night, and its fine don't worry about seeing out the back, its kinda hard but if u have good eyes, then your all good with 20% plus its pimping lol

Polarpony · 03-12-2009, 12:27 AM

Tinted windows could be cop magnets.But I guess that would be determined by where you live.

DefStarYaris · 03-12-2009, 01:04 AM

I've got 15% on the three back windows and never have any problems at night. I should have gone to 5%.

texkid · 03-12-2009, 03:37 AM

I have 20% all around. I noticed a less burning sensation on my left arm LOL! I would love to have 5% but that would be pushing it with the LAW.

andru47 · 03-12-2009, 12:44 PM

I did the darkest legal tint in FL, which is 30% in the front and 15% in the rear. I have a 3DR LB so the 1/4 windows and door windows are 30% and the rest including rear windshield is 15%. No tints on the front windshield. Was considering the Bar, but, it would look weird.

auxmike · 03-12-2009, 02:15 PM

I went with 35%, did it myself. NO tint on back window. This way following cops don't see I have tint when they are behind me.
I had %5 once on my Prelude and almost sideswiped someone at night.
Too dark= DANGEROUS!

monchito18 · 03-12-2009, 04:24 PM

Ill post up pics after the tinting tomorrow
