CS-SuperchargedTL

If it was for aesthetics, Looks good! but for use, why didn't you just go with polarizing the front.... like you find on some BMW, Mercedes and even Buicks.

this wat happens in NY while tryin 2 escape the cops, but no tickets


bro good shyt look at mines 35% also

Kids Sure it looks cool but you will get pulled over bro. Then with that whiskey on your breath or the scent of herb or the 9 beside the seat = busted. Why draw attention to yourself?!? But kids will be kids.

I will not even mention the safety issue, as I had my side windows too dark, for driving at night, that I had them taken off and lightened. Night driving + a drink + too dark to see = high risk of accident. Especially when in unfamiliar parking lots/driveways.

I also have an exemption note for the tints, but that note (in PA) is not for the front windows, only the sides and the back. I can't believe you haven't gotten pulled over yet, especially in Jersey.

Well good luck, one day when you are older, you will look back and say. "What was I thinking?" Anything to be cool ... it does look good, no doubt about that.

I got a ticket for mine in South Carolina. was 50%. pulled me out of a pack of cars.....now tell me they have better things to do.....btw fine was $440

cop magnet for sure! And I pray you don't get in a wreck. Even if it ain't your fault, your insurance company may leave you with the bill. If someone gets hurt bad, hope you got deep pockets...just something to think about.

I really wanted to tint my windshield, but then I did some research and found that 50% is a good percentage for windshields. The insurance liability thing kept me from looking into it any further. Looks really good though! Stealthy no doubt

SportsJunkie

to be on the safe side i got a doctor's note for my 20% on my side windows cause i break out from extreme exposure to the sun

but i must admit, tint on the front windshield looks a bit odd. but more power to ya

J-STEELE

Hey if you got a doctors note for that and you are a careful person when driving, it's all good then... Looks good! Just be careful man while driving at night... Cops don't give a rats ass if you got a doc's note... They will just waste your time pulling you over and over... So if you got time than that's all you playa... Have fun, PEACE!

stock tint is dark enough for me, I enjoy my 95% tint.

Is that that purple windshield I sometimes see on 7series or s550? That looks really nice, especially on a black.

TL AYAZ

it looks sik
especially if you dont care about tickets, i used to get pulled over all the time on my g35 with 20% windshield

ChicagoBurbs

Looks AWESOME...

Scary for visibility at night! Especially when you're on a dark road with headlights coming in your direction...Tints tend to add some distortion and I've noticed that they make other car's lights look like 'halo's', making it all that much harder to see the edge of the road.

Love the look, but I'd be afraid to drive with that percentage in the dark.

Good luck! (I give it less than a month before some cop takes a razor to them after issuing the ticket).

Nice, anyone with 50% windshield?
I was going to put mine also but still debating go with 35% or 50%

drdamian

i had my front windshield tinted 35% on my old honda prelude. I got pulled over once and the cop checked my vin number. I thought he was going to cite me for my front windshield but he didn't. i guess maybe because the tint was a clean install. i had it over my inspection stickers so it blended right in.. the only cons of tinted front winshield it driving in the rain at night is really difficult.

Prescription sunglasses $$$ vs. Tint front windshield $$$ ??? Give me a break!

What does the original poster do when he's not driving? Contacts with sunglasses? What does he do at the beach? Carry a tint box around because he's sensitive???

Looks good for sure, no arguement there.

I just don't understand why a lot of the NY/NJ guys are doin this, must be a fad. It really is the worst part of the country to be doin this because cops are extra vigilant for shadiness around here. At least if you were in FL or AZ you could say it's too sunny and hot but up here the cops WILL get you. It's just a matter of time.

The price of fads....One day when you are older you will wonder why you did that when you were younger. Wasting money on tickets.

lol my friend has 5% windshield tint on his ls

im becomin a cop so im good lol... no problems for me.... as for sum ppl... well roll down ur side windows and no prob

HigdonTL05

for all of you that live in new jersey that sucks, in Maryland you can not legally "just get pulled over for tint" thats from a buddy who is a state trooper. he said that too many cops were pulling people over for tint and giving them tickets. Having tint on your car is not a "moving violation" therefore cannot just get pulled over for that reason....

Distorted Reality

Depending on what your local laws is on window tint. If it does not meet the standard as far as the law for that percentage of tint, you can be pulled over for that. It gives them probable cause if you are not in correction for the perctange of tint. You are correct it is not a moving violation but not having correct information on your license plate is a non moving violation and you can be cited and pulled over for that same principal. It doesn't take rocket science in the day to see that someone who has tint that does not meet standards are more than likely going to be pulled over and cited since they are not in legal standards. And you can be pulled over for having in correct percentage of tint on your car just like I said about having in correct information on your license plate or not having a license plate in the front. Same thing you are not in code with your city, county or state.

lol and i thought i was an ahole....lol

wow....how is the visibilty at night? must be dangerous

Be-in my TL

I don't understand why people pull these old ass threads up. Are you seriously wasting your time looking through 40 pages of threads? Sorry to be an asshole, but this is too old. 4-27-07 to 8-13-08. That is a HUGE gap, let it be. If you want, start a new thread about it.

Anyways, good luck with the tints. I sure as hell won't do that. There are *clear* tints now with glare protection on them like prescription glasses. Check those out for sensitive eyes. They will protect you from bright lights and windshield-tint-pulling-over-cops.

iTrader: (1)

i mean if your eyes are so sensitive to light, you shouldn't be outside in the day time at all....
not just driving without tints on your windshield......

i don't know why cops allow to have doctor's note for having tint there.....
i mean what are sunglasses for????

Be-in my TL

I know I read somewhere about clear tints with glare protection on them. This also blocks(or reduces) UV rays from hitting your leather as well. I hope someone knows more about it than I do and can include their information.

Looks WACK!

DaddysOnehotAck

I've had mine since I bought the car (35%) and never had a problem with jake??......for one it's kinda hard for them to even know I have my windshield tinted being that their machine can't read it??, second it does serve a purpose because it protects your dash.....being that I live in Florida it helps alot!!!,third in my opinion it looks HOT!

hameline

How many tickets so far, genius?

dudechewy
