window tinting - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

No problem, I think the darkness of the window is based on pesonal preference.

I also saw some people do all around 35%, which is 35% back, 35% front, that sure make it evenly looking, but i don't recommend it cuz 35% at the front is more riskier

How does an exact price sound? I got mine done on the 5 door here in BC, it cost $400.

You arent allowed tinted front door windows in Canada are you ?

Here in australia, darket legal tint is 35% ..... i have 20% all round on my echo, and will probably get 20% or even 15% on my next car. 5% rocks, but makes it hard to see at night when parking :P

Aftermarket tinting is illegal on front doors and on windshield in BC except for shade band on windshield. Some people may never get stopped for it, but if you do it's a fine and you must remove the offending tint, which is a real pain, not to mention money down the drain. In my opinion it is also dangerous to have your forward and side vision obstructed by tint, it's like warring sunglasses at night.

I just bought my US Yaris and dealer said that the windows have UV tinting built in.

It isn't like sunglasses at night. The windshield isn't tinted, and it is the only thing that is really neccesary.

When I first got my Saab is was tinted with prolly some of the darkest tint that can be bought,as FL has very few laws regarding tint. I could see fine at night.

It was great in the day, the sun was never a problem unless it was directly ahead.

Even with the not as dark tint I have now the sun isn't a big deal unless I am going straight into it.

And without tint even when I wear sunglasses the sun was a problem.

Nice tint job, 35% or darker? I'll do 20% all around, just like my xB
