Multiply the existing transmission (70%) by the added tint transmission (35%) and viola, you get approx 25%.

Just a word on transmission less than 35%, it's a bitch driving at nite.

 

I had the same bad results the first time I tried tinting myself. After watching a couple of pros do it several times and seeing some of the tricks of the trade which the instructions conveniently leave out, I found that I can do an acceptable job on side glass. I'd never try a compound curve like a rear hatch on the Camaros. Watched a pro do mine and it is pretty tedious and more opportunity to mess up.

 

I did the ebay kit for $25 shipped and had good results. i took off the door panels and it looks pretty good. A few imperfections due to small dirt, but overall good. I went with 20% and it is looks just a hair darker than the rear. You can't really tell unless you really inspect it. And so far so good driving at night. I just have to roll down a window to backup in dark areas so I can see the sideview good.

 

my black lt3 is running the streets with ilegal tint and im a state inspector lol i have 2.5% on front and rear the rear has 2.5% on top
of the factoery privacy glass damn this this is so dark i can be poking nose and fliping a finger at you and laughing my *** off its fun
well i do it because of my rear dvd and my kids jumping around when they have a lready seen the dvd 20 times over and over no matter what i dvd i put on lol and for the dvd i dont want anyone seeing it and wanting to desire it and **** my truck up for a dam
screen lol hate to hijack this thread but ill just ask here and post a new thread live tv anyway i can do this ?? i still havent had the money to get the override for navi but i will soon ok tint yes its illegal here in houston and if i get stopped which i doubt ive always had limo tint in my cars i love privacy and it seems like they make a big deal of it if your screwing around in the streets in other words asking for attention by the police in my case i dont so ill be ok and i have rear camra not that i dont roll down my window to back up its a habbit at night lol

 

It sounds like 35% is what i want to put on my tahoe. I would like the front to be darker, however i dont want to be pulled over for the reason of tint darkness. That will make my tint about 25% front, and about 5% rear which is perfect. Thanks again for everyones help and information.

Anyone have 20% over their factory rears? I finally am scheduled to have my tint completed tomorrow and I thought 35% is what I wanted on the rears. However now I am thinking I want 20% on the rears. Anyone that has 20% can you see out the back glass at night, can you see at all?

 

A friend told me some time ago that if you get stopped in MO, they'll let you remove illegal tint to avoid a ticket. Carry a window razor blade scraper.

 

Biglg,
How did it turn out? Post some pics please.

 

If that is the case this wouldnt be a bad idea. I can get the fronts retinted cheaper than the tint ticket would be!
