I am going to get my windows tinted, I am not sure what the laws are on the front windows. But I can't imagine not doing the fronts too. Anyways, just curious if you guys make your fronts lighter or say screw it and just roll down the windows if the cops are nearby. Thanks for feedback in advance

This sounds great... What's the penalty for getting caught?

I have 50% up front and 5% in back.. Will prob change to 20% in rear and leave the fronts...

Had dark tint in the front but it caused unwanted attention from police. Especially now that my car is already calling for a state ref I'd rather not make the situation worse... My $.02

On my old Gt I had 2% all around, looked fucking sick!, but then got pulled over its 25 bucks to fix and 200 to pay it off, luckily my brother knows how to tint lol. On my cobra it has 10% in the back and about 35-50% in the front but I want no tint cause the car is a state ref screamer

30% all around, classy and not ghetto looking but that's on a Acura TL Type S. I've passed several CHP, local cops and luckily haven't been stopped. The tint I used is Formula 1 Pinnacle series.

I got 35% Reflective bronze on my stang. I like it because it's not too dark that it gets noticed, plus it flows with my car color.

I wanna get this done on my CSVT too. Right now the CSVT is just 35% rear normal tint. Fronts are 100% bling

5% all around. But beware at the stop lights, roll em down if you are planning on running 5% all around. And try to create as less attention to yourself as possible around city streets. Never really seen or heard stories of CHP giving fix it tickets.

But Have heard of,and had many city cops write me tickets for tint. Thats why you gotta have a buddy with the same color car and model as you. Swap plates. Cops hardly put VIN on fix it tickets.

The law is no tint on front side windows or windshield. Paint the rest black if you want.

My GT has 50% front and sides including windshield and back window is 5%.

My V has 35% sides and 20% back window = classy. Almost did 5% back window but took the installers advice, transition would be too noticeable.

Both cars black on black.
