there is no 0% tint that iv ever came by, how ever you can tint over tint, to make it darker.

Double 5% is actually equivalent to .25%

hahahah lemme say Casey's got some **** dark tint - the darkest I've ever seen!

I have 5% limo all the way around on mine and it's a PITA to see when Im backing up at night in the dark backyard. I was going to do double 5 but decided against it. But I will say there is NOTHING like 5% for killing someone's high beams behind you. Now now matter whats behind me headlight wise it doesnt bother me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well I mean yeah it blocks stuff nice, and makes it great for people not being able to see you ( I like that) but it is a bit*h backing out of a dark driveway. hahahaha, and then when you have to roll your windows down to see and it's like 20 degrees outside, mannnnn.

its actaually really pointless to get 5% or lower. the tint i have is 20 back 35 front, and you cant see in it, (cuts out more light) matches car better, also keeps out heat way better than regular 5% dyed. film, which is probably on most your cars.

its the tint you buy not the %

anyway for the people wondering, there is no 0% tint only stacks of vinyl or carboard or wood or a big piece of sheet metal, etc. etc. to be put behind your windows so absolutely NO LIGHT comes through or escapes. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

The standard is rated on light transmission. VLT (visible light transparency). To say the percentage has nothing to do with the "light being cut out" is bs.

I have a double layer of 5 on my backglass, and 20 on my sideglass, and im legal.

I like to wrap a couple sheets of 5% tint around my head when I drive anyway. Its more of a challenge. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Speak for yourself! lol

5% limo matches my BLACK truck better and keeps it a HELL of a lot cooler than untinted (I live in Florida.) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif And when the sun refelctors are in the windshield, you cant see in even with your hands cupped around your eyes and against the window. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif (Not the case even with 15% - and Ive tested that out too.)

If you have to protect an investment (system) you cant go wrong with 5%. However get the good stuff from a good shop.... Ive had mine about 4 years an have had no issues.
