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?

For passanger and driver Windows, llegal limit should be 70% but cannot be applied. Has to come factory. Back Windows cab be painted black if you want.

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

Have 5% rears nd front went 35%... But lucky me I didn't see a cop parked nd rolled with my windows up at Richmond when it was gettin dark so got pulled over... Fix it ticket nd got it written of by my buddy but got to see how much the fine is... So yeah juss be careful.

On my truck I have 15% in the front and 5% in the back, my Mustang I have 5% all the way around.

Posted by MikeD. (Member # 8060) on :

20% Front, and 5% rear on my vette.

Posted by slow2v (Member # 9403) on :

Got 12% in the front and 5% in the back windows, and I've had 2 fix it tickets already for tints. First time was 25 bucks, and the second time was 50 bucks.

Posted by 89notchBack (Member # 11198) on :

i roll with limo tint on all the windows. and i have a white car so i think they look really dark

Posted by NEIGHT (Member # 8741) on :

100% all around. IF I ever change it I will make it 5% all around if not the 20% in front. I think theres a member here with 5% all around including windshield

Posted by 1ST0KGT (Member # 10606) on :

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

Posted by Venomized93 (Member # 55) on :

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.

Posted by fredfifty (Member # 10320) on :

Rollin with 100% as well [Cool]

< i use those if the suns beamin [Big Grin]

Posted by 1Sicgt (Member # 714) on :

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

Posted by BLK35th (Member # 4685) on :

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.

Posted by TR1 (Member # 296) on :

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

Posted by SwEeT 03 Gt (Member # 10283) on :

was pulled over and i have 35% in the front 5% rears cop let me go said "eh doesnt look bad" but gave me a ticket for smoked tail lights

Posted by SL0BRA650 (Member # 10274) on :

I had 20% all around, no problems at all with cops nd seeing through during night

Posted by BUKSING (Member # 6594) on :

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.

In my truck I drive around with limo tint all around. I don't have any on the car.

Posted by alexdel209 (Member # 9239) on :

5% on all windows on the cobra and 35% on all windows in the bmw including widshield lol

Posted by Nastysvt (Member # 6431) on :

20% all around on the cobra
5% rear/ 20% fronts on the vette
35% all around on my daily

Posted by KCmustangboy (Member # 1927) on :

So I am thinking 5% on the back and 20% on the driver/passenger window. Or 20% all the way around... fuck I don't know.

20% all around will look good, all your windows matching gives it a clean look

I had 5% on the 3 back windows & 20% on the 2 fronts & it looked good but I agree, the same all around looks better.

I think I am going to go with this idea and do the 20% all the way around. Thanks guys

Posted by KCmustangboy (Member # 1927) on :

Anyone got a photo of their mustang with some 20% all the way around... or just on the driver or passenger window?

Posted by Nastysvt (Member # 6431) on :

20%

Nah it was just tint, his 3rd ticket. Officer rosseti said "you know I can take you to jail for this" my friends response "you serious" rosseti; "Yup step out" the other 2 tickets also came from the same cop.
