Tint
 
I'm tinting my windows this Sunday :) Not sure wut percent to go with :confused: The guy who is tinting my windows will do any percent on any window :cool: Two people I know have had him tint their front windshield 35% and sides and back 5%.. no trouble yet. I'm thinking along the lines of 15% on the sides and back.. but the ttops look around 20% so maybe I should do 20% on the sides? Or maybe tint the ttops darker too? I'm leaning towards making the ttops darker and 15 on the sides and back.. I would like to do the windshield too but I don't want too much trouble for it so I probably won't lol wut does everyone think?

check your laws... some cops are really about the front windshield

20 on sides 15 on back. I had 20 all the way around on my '94 and I really liked it but 15 on the back would really finish it off.

**** the po po, 5% all around here. Cops don't say anything about tint here, so it's okay.

In Kenosha the cops never cared about my tint but the state trooper always bothered me.

I never used to get hassled about tint, but it only took one cop and I got a ticket that at the time put 2 points on my license. those laws aren't to harass you it's to protect the cop(they can't see what the driver is doing when stopped, and there have been cops killed by thugs) so if you don't act like a moron they usually let you go

When I was pulled over by the state tropper I asked him if that was the reason, as that's what I thought it was. He actually told me it wasn't, he said with tint it distorts depth perseption and that's why.

lol

well i was going to get a strip just across the top of my windshield, but turns out he didnt get around to it, but someone told me afterward cops are if it goes past that AS1 line or whatever it is...

I hate how the tint laws are. A guy like me, driving to my grandma's house with my mom in the passenger seat, gets pulled over while the honda that was next to me with limo tint goes driving around like a **** ****. Pisses me off especially because my side windows were only 35% and the tint only lasted like 3 months.

V6Cam 09-01-2005 10:29 AM

I have like 20% on my side windows...I havent had time to talk to the guy about my back window...i want to do my front window to but...

FamousZ 09-01-2005 10:58 AM

Right now my windows are 30% and thats the legal limit here in Indiana.. And this sucks because it is so light you can see right through the thing.. I have seen many cars drive around here that I know has darker tint than 30%.. So Im gonna go with either 15-20 for the sides and back...

paarman97maro 09-01-2005 11:55 AM

I have 35%, and I like it just fine... I still have to get my back window done yet
