Post your tinted Prius

harajuka · 10-19-2009, 10:15 PM

I have been going back and forth on what tint darkness I want to do on my Prius and would like to see some tinted Prius to help me decided.

Please post pic and what tint % you have.

Thanks in advance!

Llumar ATR film. 30 front 15 rears.

35% all the way around. Don't base it solely on looks as visibility becomes a big factor at night. I have another car with 20% and it's very hard to see at times, especially in the rain. Yes 20% during the day is much preferred (really cuts down on the sun) but at night it's a pain.

It's a little hard to tell, but are you guys tinting the lower back window too? I am going to do tint in a few weeks when I'm back from Vacation and was not sure if I'd do that or not. Seems like a waste of money as I can't see much light coming in from there anyway.

I had my lower back window tinted just a shade lighter than the rear window, to help with visibility at night, etc.

When I had mine done, the shop told me the vertical back hatch glass was factory-tinted to about 15% already, so the new 15 on the hatch and rear windows match that level. Appears to be right on.

BTW - my tint meets FL vehicular law. Made sure of that...and did not want evening driving issues..does not.

35% front 5% rear. Llumar tint

I had to remove the front tint due to tickets so I replaced it with 70% just to get more UV reduction. I miss the 35% though.

Huper Optik ceramic

Anyone have a pic with 50%? Minnesota law restricts tint to that level and I'd like to see what it actually looks like.

Thanks!
