Default Factory tint

Somebody told me the factory window tint is about a 70 so a 35 tint on that would be like a 30. Is this true? And what percentage tints are you guys running? In kansas 35 percent is the darkest you can go. I have had 35 before and it sucks. No privacy. On the flip side i want to drive at night too. Im thinking of going 20.

We always use a 20 here in the desert, works fine at night.

I’m also looking to put a tint on my ftypeSVR I’ve read about a tint that gets darker in sunlight and lighter at night. Not sure what is “best in class” with tint brands but starting the research. Good luck.

I think it really accents the flow of the already beautiful F type.

Does the 20% tint affect your window dimming at all? I had this issue in another car before where they wouldn’t dim the side mirrors as the sensor was in the rear view mirror.

Great to hear, thanks and hope it was just my prior situation that was a one-off.

Time for a trip to the tint shop!
