I took it out to nowhere to do a tire rotation, star wheel tightening, cleaning inside the wheel, and apply some rubber under coating.

Nice, though was it just my yaris that came with stock 35 percent tint all around? When I went to tint it they told me, so I just did 15 percent behind the driver.

The standard factory/default tint of the windows is supposedly 93%... AKA none.

I also had mine tinted 35% all around.

Depends on the time of day the tints might look bit darker, but mostly you get just enough privacy:

Looks good swidd! I have Limo tint on the back three windows and 50% on the front driver and passenger side. The only problem now is finding a place to get the car inspected. But yeah, if I could have, I would have gone with 35% like yours! :thumbsup:

I'm still not sure if I'm happy with the % darkness :-) In some light it seems too dark -- no interior visible and it looks indistinguishable from 5% tint. However other drivers clearly see me when I signal for them to proceed at stop signs etc. And under direct sun light the interior is visible just fine. For state law in PA I was going for tint that will allow a person to view the interior of the vehicle, ie just gentle shade. However with all black interior that may make it appear so dark as to --I'm afraid-- attract police. But I haven't seen another person sitting inside yet, so I don't really know...

Sometimes, depending on the time of day, even with limo tint, you can still see inside the car to a certain degree. I've driven by police cars waiting to turn on to my street and they've probably noticed the tint, but haven't really done anything. I've been told that most times, tint is something "extra" they might ticket you for. Don't give them a reason to pull you over, and you'll be fine.

I've had front side tint for the last 6 years (between two vehicles) and have never had an issue with the police.
