Limo Tint Black 09 Yaris
Tinted my 09 Yaris with 5% in the back windows and 35% in the front. Only been two days so I'm crossing my fingers I don't get pulled over. Front tint is pretty light but it's dark at night. Guy says three days until I can roll the windows down lol. It's hot too!
Please feel free to post pix of your tint jobs as well Last edited by nvidiaxtc; 07-14-2009 at 04:49 PM. |

The back looks cool but you said your front side window *is* tinted?? Wow, doesn't look it at all, I want to get 35% all around when its legal but if that's what 30% looks like, I'm kind of disappointed.

Yeah, I think it is the angel as well. I took the picture and its really bright and 90 degrees outside. I'll take another pic in about an hour at a better angel :) It does look light I'm going to edit the post to 35%.

I went with 15% all around, the guy wrote the receipt as 20% for me, so I can play dumb with the cop-- if that ever happens ;d

That's way cool! lol. I've been hearing that no front tint is allowed in California but I have heard from others that as long as they can see the whites of your eyes you should be ok.

most states are tough on it for some reason, sucks i think. but, at night i have trouble seeing out sometimes, haha-- so i guess there is a reasoning

Damn cops! I think since it's a Yaris I'll get away with it. No one even really notices the car to be honest. Blends in quite well.

Idk how a feel about that big of a difference in % from front to back.
I'd probably like it more If it was maybe 15 in back and 35 in front' or If you really wanted 5 in the back 15 or 20 up front. Your car looks nice none the less an that was just my opinion. |

For sho! You're probably right. I was scared to even do 35% though lol. We'll see how it goes. If it were really up to me it would be 5% all the way around.

Nice. Doesn't look too dark since your Yaris is black. If I got darker tint on mine, it would definitely look too dark at any angle.

Actually the 2nd set of photos make it look a lot better. My friend had 5% all around on his civic and driving at night on highways was pretty terrifying.
Is front tint illegal altogether where you live? |
|
07-14-2009, 07:08 PM | #15 |
Yeah, made it illegal in 1999. I guess a select few can get a doctors note from a dermitologist for sensitive skin but I hear you can't drive at night if you get one.

I have 35% tint all round on my blue Yaris and it looks darker than yours. I think black cars make tint look lighter than it is..

Well, I have a funny story.
My wife's Scion xB has super dark tint all the way around, (30%, but the back windows are tinted from the factory) and no tickets. See below: Before tint: After tint: I get my Yaris tinted with the same tint, same company, and I get pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol. Now the funny part. I bought the car in Feb, and I had not picked up my registration yet (4 months). He gave me a ticket for the registration and let me go for the tint. I sent a copy of the registration in and my $10 and I am all set. I think that the FHP was looking for someone not wearing the seatbelt (new law), and could not see me through the windows. I even told the cop that it's Florida and super hot (it was 97 degrees out that day) and with the black car I needed the tint. He said he understood and gave me a warning for the tint. |
