I just recently traded in my 05 TL for this beauty. I couldn't take the FWD anymore. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

 

Wow, thats one clean RL. Love it in white.

 

That's the good thing about white cars. All the little imperfections are hard to find.

 

looking good congrats

 

Finally got around to having my car tinted. I went with 35% all the way around.

 

Messed up posting the photos the first time. Here they are.

 

Lookin good1

 

Apparently NJ troopers have developed a hard-on for window tint. I have been pulled over twice this week for tint and received one ticket. My previous car was a black 05 TL with 35% all around, and I had the car for three years and not even so much as a double take from police. Now it seems like i can't pull out of my driveway without being pulled over. Anybody else in NJ having issues?

leave your sunroof shade open to let more light in. thats what i do and im running 35% all around.

 

Probably didn't help that I had the window shades up. Guess I could leave the sunroof open, couldn't hurt, thanks.

 

Sounds like you earned it.

 

Is 35% illegal in nj? I got 35 in the front and 30% in the back....with sunshade up and haven't got anything....and the lowest in Ma is 35%....I normally leave my windows all down when I drive by a police...

 

Tintcenter.com says no tint can be applied to the front windows or windshield. Any % can be used on the back. Sounds like your shades didnt do anything.

 

That is correct. Any % on the rear windshield and rear windows but no tint at all on the front windows.. NJ troopers are strict and have always been with tint on your windows. I gave up and removed the tint on my fronts. In my opinion a white car with dark tint brings much more attention than a black car with tint.. I say remove the fronts as I always had my sunroof open and it never helped! Good luck!

 

I ended up paying $56 for the ticket. I am thinking about switching my registration back to Michigan. I am active duty military so I still hold a MI drivers license. I am pretty sure the tint laws are the same but NJ cops won't know that.

 

Do you hold residence in MI?

 

Fla has the best tint laws if you can work out a mailing address there.

And I can assure you that wont work in Va... these troopers will write you if for not updating your address and the tint.

 

Thats so odd that some states and Canadian Provence's don't allow the front doors to be tinted. I'll take my states (NC) 30% all around over you guyz's states law....

 

I actually own a home in NJ (I've been here for 13 years), but since I am technically just stationed here I am able to keep MI as my home of record. They allow this because you may only be stationed in one location for a few years, so we don't have to go through the ass-pain of changing our residence every time they move us. One benefit of this is that MI does not require active duty to pay state tax, so for that reason I kept MI. Now it may prove useful again for this little tint dilemma.

A friend called it the NJ Tint Tax.

 

Looks great! Ive had 14 tint tickets..

 

I have 20% and i have not been pulled over yet. (knock on wood)

 

Do you not have the NAVI option? Just curious because I'm not seeing a roof-mounted antenna in the back.

 

Good eye

 

Yes, I have Nav. The later model RL's do not have the roof mounted antenna.

 

I will stop complaining immediately.

 

'05 through mid-'07, I believe, had them.
