I would like to get my windows tinted this week, and I'm thinking about going 20% all the way, I'm curious too on what others have done and how deep they got there tint.

 

Metal flake 20% all around

 

I have 21% Ray Ban tint all around in my car. I actually drove 150 miles to have it done in CT because I had seen what a great job the place had done and like the Ray Ban film so much. I don't regret it one bit although I get nervous when cops are around...I just don't want to be a target for their animosity. The silver stuff is cool, but sports an image that is too high profile for my taste.

 

5% all around.........

Curse all you people who dont have all the stupid laws on tint darkness. Cant have any tint on my front windows or the windshield. But that still wont stop me.

previous owner said NY state limit was 20% cuz he got stopped all the time, and the car would pass... official tint association type website says NY has NO tint limits. NY law says 35%... very conflicting. i don't think my 20% is dark enough, hell maybe its not even 20...

 

DSM1699 I have been wanted to get my windows tinted. Where did you go to get it done? Are you in the detroit area? What did it cost you? thanks

 

The pic is 20% all the way. Since i had it done (4 years ago) i've been busted too many times to remember, been hassled countless times, and have recently (last month) finally changed the fronts to 35% to help ease the mind of the local authority

20% in the pic above on all windows. that is the best shade in my mind! not too damn dark, but definetely dark enough! (even during the day)

I have all of mine at 35% - the max legal tint. I used to have 15% or so on the back, but I like having it at a uniform tint better.

 

ii have 35% sides and 5% backsides and back.... see pic in profile hehe

 

35% all around. Never had any probs w/ Po-Po..

With my black interior during the day it is almost adequate (I would like it a bit darker) but I definitely dont have any glare issues with the sun..

I have some black tint or something on the backs of my car.

I hate it. The tint can't be older than 5 years old and it's completely bubbled up and looks like absolute shit.

Anyone know if it's easy to remove?

 

Dont inhale the paint thinner..... when people are looking

Just a razor blade, some paint thinner, and some free time...

Actually if I'm not mistaken the NY tint law is much more strict than that. There's a website that has all the state-by-state tint info on it. I think NY says something like any percent on the back window but max of 73% on any windows that are part of a door. Like I said, I have 21% all the way around and have never been stopped but I know plenty of people who have. I guess I'm just lucky. I live on MA now and the cops here are a bit more lenient

 

After a quick search I found these...

http://www.pcisys.net/~bpc/auto_law/tint/

It says no tint is allowed any window in NY.

http://www.doityourselftint.com/tintlaws.html

This one is conflicting though...it says what I mentioned before (70%). The rest of the links I found seem to indicate that the second is correct, but again, I could be wrong.

I know the laws are put in place for police officer safety which I can 110% understand. I wouldn't want to walk up to a random car not being able to see who was inside and if they had a gun or not. I have nothing to hide though so I'm not worried.

 

45% entire windshield, 20% Doors, 15% rear.

I was told it was 35% so I got 20%. When I got pulled over and they checked my tints they said they were 12%, yeah right . Then I got lectured on that the legal limit was 70%

 

connecticut state law dictates 35% but they say they usually let u off w/ 32%, but this is only on the front side windows. the windshield cant be tinted, but anything in the rear is fair game i guess. i had 26% all round except the windshield and my friend had 17%. the cop was a dick 2 me though.
