what tint %

What tint percentage would everyone recommend for a NBP? I am thinking 30% but will that be dark enough?

considering you live in jersey like myself, cops will bust your balls for tint on the front windows. 20 would be too dark, i would go for 35% like mine

yup. i had 20% on my eclipse, and got pulled over for it. i have 35% on my TL, as most of my friends do, and no problems with the cops. i have the windshield tinted with 50%... it looks more balanced this way. no problem seeing at night, either.

thats not fair, you get pulled over around me for driving past 12am and always get pulled over for tints. i think im going with the 31% titanium tint-its what all my friends have around me and they don't get pulled over that much

Just be sure to test the tint to make sure it doesn't effect your Navi:

Just be sure not to violate your local laws. There is nothing worse than having to pay a ticket for something that you could have made a wise decision on...then having to get the tint redone too.

In Texas, the maximum levels are 35% front, 20% rear.

Exclamation Tint shops in north jersey?

Does anyone know any good tint shops in North Jersey? I'm in Hoboken, and I don't know where to go for good quality tints that won't affect my navi.
