SHADES | faulkscustomtint

Shades do not need to be decided upon prior to booking but i want you to have some understanding of tint shades. I will discuss further at the time of your appointment.

We currently stock 70% 55% 45% 35% 30% 20% 15% and 5%
The lower the number the darker the tint
35% NET is the limit all around on cars and the front doors of trucks and SUV's
Most vehicles have some pigmenting in the glass that makes it read darker, so 45% will be closer to 35% on the glass, 35% will be closer to 28% ECT
45% is the only film I will guarantee to meet the 35% law requirements in MD/WV
The factory privacy glass in the rear of many trucks and SUV's is around 20%, those vehicles are exempt behind the driver and passenger windows. Cars are not.
I can match up the front using 20% or 15% by just tinting the front doors depending on the vehicle, I usually meter them to verify what will match. Matching is not typically in compliance but it's your vehicle so i let you decide.
Also some choose to go over the factory privacy glass in the rear of trucks and SUV's to make them darker, tinting over privacy glass is not a problem.
I use 5% for the visor strips on the tops of the windshield. There is no shade law on that, it just needs to be no more than 5inches an d not below the ASI to be in compliance.
Visor strips are cut to your specifications
