Wait 30% is supposed to look darker than 50% though…

Also I know for a fact that they change the numbers because I’ve seen the meter for a few of the darker tints and they are not as dark as other brands lol

'cause i'm a daggum post ninja!!



was just saying that the lower tint numbers means less light goes through (e.g., 5% is darker than 25%).

oh, i gotcha now - you're saying it appears that the tint ratings are like two different trucks comparing dyno sheets: even though could've made pulls on the same day in the same weather conditions but one was from a dynojet & the other on a mustang.

Im sorry, I got confused by base 100 numbers.

At some point in this thread I thought you were going 70% and then you posted 30% and my brain just reciprocated the values and got all confuzzled

All good, on the same page now
