So long to the CL-S and hello tinting to the G. I have not tinted a car since California because I didn't want to deal with the fuzzies. Now, my Dermatologist told me that with a note from him, it can be legal. Wow, I never knew that. So 35% in the front and 20% in the rear. Good choice?

 

Doctor's note for tints?? Hahahah, it back to high school or something. But if it works for u then great... i personally cant imagine having a car w/o any tints.

35% isnt enough (thats what i have)...but its HEAPS better then going tintless

 

wait a minute. is tinting illegal in CA, or do you mean just having it darker than legal?

 

if ur doctor gave u a note for tinting .. then go all out and go as dark as you want ...... 20% is a good one ... all around

 

When I lived there 7 years ago, tinting of any kind was illegal. Most cops will give you a no charge fix-it ticket. I was given a removal ticket. I had 35% in front.

 

Dont do 2 different shades of tint...either do all 35 or all 20....I would go 20 all around...thats what I have and its good. I could have gone a little darker...like if they had 18 or 15 but 20 is nice.

 

congrats on the new ride.

20% all around does look the best, but if you don't want to worry about tickets, 35% sides and 20% back isn't that bad... that's what I got.

 

I'd stay with one percentage all the way around.

Just my $0.02...

 

Well, I ended up doing 30% all around and it looks good. Dark enough to matter, not dark enough to make the fuzzies feel nervous.

This is the final shot of the CL-S as it leaves in total humiliation:

Behind a Ford Crown Vic...

 

why they towing the cl-s?

shouldnt it be on the bed and the crown vic on the tow????

I hope they’re not towing it TOO FAR like that.
The exhaust system won’t survive too many bumps.

PS As for tint:
35% on the SIDES is great for states like PA & NJ where tint will get you in trouble.
20% on the BACK is great when a big vehicle like a Lincoln Navigator has his High-Beams on behind you at a traffic light

 

I'd say do one shade all around....I have 20% and have never been bothered by any cops in jersey

 

Actually they were towing the car to Carteret which is about 50 miles away I think. It ain't my worry now. I have everything signed off with them.

I ended up with 30% tint all the way round. Be cool Shawn.

 

Here's the finished product:

 

one shade does look nicer...i got 28% hp true grey all around...as long as the two shades aren't that big of a diff it should be fine..

 

i would of gotten darker tint ..... but looks hot either way man

 

I wanted 35% but settled for 30% because of the cops here in NJ. Tinting is illegal and you don't wanna give them a reason to stop you. They are going to ticket you for something if they stop you. This the police state of NJ.
