got my windows done - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Just got limo tint 6" up front (windshield), the back (2) windows, and hatch window on my 3dr.
$125... Lovin' it. kinda wish Illinois would change the law to allow it on the front side windows... oh well.

I went with 25% all around. The tint does change the cars appearance drastically. I like how the tinted windows seem to flow together with the factory black accents making the entire window region one big blacked-out area.

Dude nice tints! I'm new and definitely loving this forum. Just got my Yaris two days ago and got my tints yesterday. I got 20 in the back 35 around the sides and 60 in the front all 3m with the windshield being that new ceramic material.

Got pics? Also, what's the ceramic?

Anyone know how/where to look to see what the legal tint is for your state/city?

Yarimoto · 08-09-2009, 09:33 PM

The ceramic is a new material which is lighter tint but provides the same heat blockage of that of a darker tint. Reason I go the 60m is because I'm afraid of getting pulled over by cops here in my area. Sometimes they are dicks so I don't wanna mess with them. To me the 60m is just slightly lighter then the 50.

35% is the legal limit in ur state how ever in most cases it doesnt matter because when you get pulled over for tints they have that device they use to see how dark it is and its going to read darker then 35% idk why, i really could care less so i got 20% sides and back and 35% in front

In California any tint on the windshield, front passenger, or driver side windows is illegal.

In my area most cops don't care for your tints unless its really dark my brother's S2K has like 20 around and 35 in the front. The only thing he gets pulled over for is some mod other then the tints lol.
