X6 Tint Suggestions
Taking ownership of new 2011 X6 35i (Black Sapphire Metallic) the first week of February. I didn't get the Rear Climate package - so there is no tint. I want to get it tinted first thing, and have no clue what to get. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Do I have to do both front & rear windows? In my previous X5's I didn't tint the front door windows, and it looked fine. Not sure how the X6 would look due to the coupe like lines. What % do you recommend (please keep in mind I live in New York State, I don't want to deal the police)? Do I need to worry about the Dot Matrix issues for tinting the X6? Thanks for your help! -PS |

You can get by with 30% tint. I am not sure how strict they are upstate. Down here I have very very dark tints.. like 15% and I get hassled once a week. They changed the laws in NYC. It is like 75%. I would do some research and find out what the laws are in your county.

Texas is 25% on side windows and any darkness on rear window. I havent decided what I'm getting either. We get so much sun here that you really need things darker........but then no one could see me in this beast !!!HA

go with the 20%. My X6 is the same color w/ black int. Anything lighter will leave you with regrets. I had 35% put on my X5 and they are too light. You will be happy with the 20%.

This is my X5. I matched the factory tint on the front windows. I have the same color scheme as you. Hope it helps
