can anyone help me out?

im trying to convince my mom to let me tint my car...but she doesnt want me to do anything illegal to my car ever and i have to keep her happy since she bought the car for me...and in nj any tint on the front window is illegal, but i convinced her that cops dont care....the problem is tho that i want 20 percent tints...and i told her that it wont be pitch black..and that you could still see some of the person inside...so can anyone hook me up with a pic of there car with 20%...(over exposed to light is possible)....thanx alot

tell her this.

"i almost had a car acident because the sun blinded me from the driver window, if you had tint this can make you drive much safer."

or


"the Sun is messing up my leather. i think its going to soften so much and rip soon. and i dont want to have my car messed up, i need the tints to protect it!"




or just get it and be a man

p.s. tints make the car look nicer, if a cop stops you. open all 4 windows even if its -20 outside and ur never get a ticket

and if she dont want u still having them. get like a 25 or 30 all around.

This is your way of asking someone to post up a 20% tint pix? :p

just tell her that tint protect the interior from the sun. UV-rays and Ultra-violet and all that stuffs. And depending on how you hold the steering wheel, it wont turn one or both of your arms black in the summertime. You can also tell her that you can make love and noone can see it :p
good luck!

Listen to your mother, you spoiled brat! I can't believe all you kids under 20 years old are driving such nice brand new $30k vehicles! I was driving an 8 year old Datsun 710 wagon when I was your age -- and I was happy to have it!

P.S. Please don't say "What is a Datsun?"

Don't mind me saying: but if you need to ask mom for permission to mod your car, you should not be modding your car at all

Since you mom bought the car for you, listen to her. But if you going to be a brat, go with 35% tint. I have 30% on mine.

30% is good... not too dark, not too light... my 38% is not THAT noticeable during the day but at night looks good and have no trouble seeing out of it

I have 20% tints all around. I know it is illegal to have front tints in jersey so I just roll down the front windows if I see a cop.

Seriously though, the tints will really help out with protecting the leather, especially in the summer.

LLumar Platinum Plus 20 is no problem at night it's my favorite of all the tints. Got a nice chromish mirrored look on sunny days I love it. Seems to attract less attention then plain black tint too.

"i do not CUT after.." "so if it is LIGLE then.."
if you think that is correct english, I suggest you get a refund on your hooked on phonics tapes because it obviously didnt work.

Spoiled brats, eh? Let me ask you a question. How hard did you work in school? GPA? ACT/SAT score? Just because some of us don't have time for a job since school IS our full time job doesn't mean we don't deserve a car. So I don't want to hear comments like that when you have NO idea what it is to live in our generation and how hard we work. And a Datsun is a Nissan ty very much.. BTW 17 year old "spoiled brat" here driving a 99 tl-p w/ 100k miles on which i paid 1/3 for.
