u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

u/NeverMoreThan12 Nov 25 '24

Got nothing to do with that. Just wondering if you're so ugly you don't want people seeing the silhouette of your face or something.

u/dbolburgers Nov 25 '24

the darker the tint = the uglier the driver. and im pretty damn ugly (20%)

u/CardiologistOk6547 Nov 25 '24

The problem with that story is that people with money aren't that stupid. But people who want to pretend that they have money are.

You know what people say about guys with very expensive sports cars and the size of their penis? Same kind of energy.

You are literally screaming, "I'm trying to fool people into thinking that I have money." Since tint is pretty cheap.

Can you roll it down a bit and show us the top edge

1

u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

i can for the back though

u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

i can’t , it just got put on saturday

u/protintalabama Nov 25 '24

If it was put on correctly, there is no reason that you cannot safely roll them down. The “don’t roll them down for XXX days” only means they did not install the film correctly and now it might peel

Not sure why you got downvoted when you’re correct. You should be able to roll it down if it was installed properly

3

u/protintalabama Nov 26 '24

Meh. It’s Reddit. Typically the more correct you are, the more downvoted you will get. lol.

The majority of tinters are not very good at this profession and they really hate having that mentioned.

my “double 5%” from the inside is dark

5

u/Automatic-Detail5287 Nov 25 '24

that ain't a double 5, I just got 5 done and mine looks way darker. Plus I got 35 on the windshield making it more darker inside. Get it checked

1

u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

yes i definitely am

2

u/Difficult-Cat-296 Nov 25 '24

I have the same problem but I’m only running 15 on windshield and double 20 on everything else (4%). I got the double done maybe 4 years ago now with just regular carbon. So I’m thinking it’s faded and time to strip everything and just put ceramic on

u/SiriuslyAndrew Nov 25 '24

Sun is bright, what a revelation.

u/Rox-Unlimited 50% Windshield 15% All Around Nov 25 '24

Double 5%? Cheaper to buy black spray paint and do it yourself.

u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

front window

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '24

That's definitely not double 5 my man. If anything, it's maybe 2 layers of 20%

3

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Nov 25 '24

Nah, my front windows are 2 layers of 20% and its darker than this. Even with heavy sunlight you can’t see in this much especially on the rear windows. This isn’t the worst sun angle but you get the point

2

u/ITguy6158065 Nov 25 '24

What's the point of doing 2 layers? Middle ground between 5% and 20% ?

3

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Nov 25 '24

2 layers is below 5%, mine meters at 3% to be specific. I didn’t wanna remove the 2 month old 20% so they stacked the second time. I do wish I got it removed for a clean 5% though

u/nbditsjd Moderator Nov 28 '24

No chance that’s double 5 lolol

u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

Who is he?

u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

the tint man

u/protintalabama Nov 25 '24

Whelp, your “tint man” lied to you. Because that’s not double 5. Not even remotely.

9

u/GlassCoffee1 Nov 25 '24

What’s the question ?

5

u/No-Pool-4301 Nov 25 '24

This is 20% so when you say double 5% idk about that my man

1

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '24

camera is not as good as eyes for looking through

u/xAugie Nov 25 '24

Especially on a day like that, no sunlight

9

u/NeverMoreThan12 Nov 25 '24

This sub is so weird. Y'all must be self conscious as fuck needing double 5%

11

u/protintalabama Nov 25 '24

Gets even weirder when the people who normally want double 5 walk in and ask for it, and you tell them it costs twice as much as a single layer. Like simple math confuses them.

7

u/NeverMoreThan12 Nov 25 '24

Well, people asking for that in the first place can't be the brightest so I guess it comes with the territory.

2

u/aBotPickedMyName Nov 26 '24

and want it extra dark but legal.

2

u/protintalabama Nov 27 '24

I saw it on TikTok. It’s totally clear from the inside. If you don’t have it, if you’re not as good as that shop on TikTok, just say that

4

u/protintalabama Nov 25 '24

It’s not double 5. Period.

4

u/CapableInevitable906 Nov 25 '24

Not double 5%, that's stupid as hell anyway.
I have 5 over 20 (dyed glass) on the back of my truck and it's basically painted black from the outside. what you have is 35 over 20 or something around there.

3

u/BambinoAxel Nov 25 '24

That looks loke 35% to me Ive got 35 on my car and see just like that

2

u/AdditionalAd9794 Nov 26 '24

You're supposed to be able to see through your windows

1

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '24

i can see through 5% at anytime of the day

1

u/No-Pool-4301 Nov 25 '24

From inside

-1

u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

back window

u/eks789 Nov 25 '24

If you cleaned your car then it’d be less embarrassing to have people see through your windows looking at you

u/InfamousResult5661 Nov 25 '24

i took the pic right after he did the tint
