Choosing the Right Window Tint Percentage

Finding Your Perfect Tint

Window tint isn't one-size-fits-all. The right percentage depends on your priorities, local regulations, and personal preference.

Understanding VLT

VLT (Visible Light Transmission) measures how much light passes through the film. Lower numbers mean darker tint.

Popular Choices

• 70% VLT — Very light, barely noticeable but blocks UV
• 50% VLT — Light tint with good heat reduction
• 35% VLT — The most popular choice, balanced look
• 20% VLT — Dark, great for privacy
• 5% VLT — "Limo tint," maximum privacy

Check Your Local Laws

Every state has different regulations on how dark you can tint your windows. Always verify before installing.

Our Recommendation

For most drivers, 35% on the sides and 20% on the rear provides the perfect balance of style, privacy, and visibility.
