Here at Shades & ShadowsTinting we usually deal in someof the most popular darknesses (the number represents the total amount of light transmission that will pass through the film) and they are as follows :
35% - Is one of our most popular and used film. This film type shade is the darkest that can be used on law restricted windows here in Texas and most other states. It gives a medium darkness appearance. If used on all windows, cars have that nice smooth classy medium tinted look.
20% - Is waht we reffer to our "medium shade". This shade can only be applied to the rear windows of your vehicle to comply with the Texas Laws for Window Tinting. We usually recommned theis shade in the rear with a combination of 35% in the driver & passenger doors to provide your vehicle with a darker appearance and because the two shades blend in avoiding a "noticable' contrast in your windows.
5% - Is our darkest film. This film darkness appears really dark and is what we use mostly when people request to use the darkest available film on unrestricted windows allowed by law. This is what is typically used on limousines, cars with problem air conditioners, sunroofs, etc..... ( This shade can only be installed in the rear windows of your vehicle to comply with the Texas Law for Window Tinting) Installing this film on a vehicle is at the owners discretion... a warning of the darkness is provided...but the last word is by the customer.
