Tint Percentage with Privacy glass?
- Thread starter Shyatic
- Start date
I did the legal California tint. My car is black/black/black. I highly recommend the ceramic clear tint for the front windshield. It makes a major difference in heat transmission. I don't know if it's a placebo effect, but it also seems to help oncoming headlight glare at night.

30% the legal maximum
I think you've got it the other way around, in California 70% is the lowest visible light transmission (VLT) you can have on the front side windows, not 30%. Windshield is not allowed any tint beyond the top 4".
Same in Delaware.
The front is clear (no tint) ceramic from 3M. As you said, the sides are 70% vision, so 30% tint. It looks dark because the only color inside is red stitching. On the outside, only the calipers are red. I bought the silver and black wheel rim caps and bonnet from Lotus and swapped out the chrome Lotus lettering for black. I had it all done while it was getting a full PPF. What can I say, I am shy

I did 15% tint on the side windows and 50% on the wind shield. The shop told me 15% would match the privacy glass. Car is still at the shop. Will report back when it's done.
Can’t wait to see that.

Done. 15% on the side is still slightly lighter than the privacy glass. But pretty happy with the looks and significantly reduced the heat.
