LOL, ur crazy to do that in the Bronx.
They can't see you.
If they pull you over, they pull their weapons b4 reaching your windows.
It's happened to me b4, when I had my limo tinted Maxima.

Yep - with the exception of tinting the "visor" portion of the windshield (the top few inches), it's illegal just about everywhere to tint your windshield in its entirety.

^I was wondering that to.

The windshield looks dope though. Even though it is against the law it looks so good on a good looking car.

haha sry guys i was out with the fam all day. but the percentage is 35, the reg is not b/w the window n tint, its right on the tint. the visibily is not that bad with the HID fogs and reg HID's. its been a few days now, past a few cops all i do is turn on my white LED interiors when passing them. the thing is i have 35% all around so it blends in really nice.

the fogs i coulda done but i was jus soo packed and busy that i had my brother in law do it for me.

It not against the law in all states. Some states you can do as dark as 50%. Anyways, why would you tell him/her that, You don't think that he/she knows that! haha!

Ohh! Someone's asking for trouble! It does look madd good though! Hopefully NYPD doesn't go hard on you.

Why didn't you get that Mercedes-type blue overlay for the windshield instead?

I just thought of something Ahmad. Since you posted that you did that, suppose you get a knock at the door like that other dude on here who was trying to drift in his neighborhood and ran his TL up on the curb? Hahahaha...that would be funny as shit! Or not...

some cop knocked on his door and said are you vincethe1 from acurazine and hes like yea and the cop saw his thread on his incident and gave him a warning, and asked him to start a thread about that as well.

I like the windshield BTW, but a bit risky.

its ok, i drove my integra back in the day with limo all around a limo strip and the winshiled 35% never got a ticket, plus i gotta few PBA's enough to get me out of speeding twice at speed over 120, so i think i can talk the cop into not giving me a ticket, n if i do get a ticket, i'll rip it off. just something diff. im not really too worried bout the NYPD

Nobody has answered Blackuras question in regards to inspection stickers!!! I am thinking about doing mine 50% but gonna wait till i'm close to inspection time then strip the old one, get the tint on, and then place the clear tape thing that people used to put on their textbooks (remember that stuff??) then have my boy place the inspection sticker right on that... What ya'll think?

Looks good man, I love mine. I have had my windshield done on my TL-S for about 2 years now, I love it. I did my last car too. Mine is 35% on the windshield and 15% on everything else..had 4 tickets so far and haven't even considered changing it...other than darker, I might go darker. lol.

Yeah you just have them cut around the inspection sticker. I had a hell of a time finding a shop that would pass me for inspection just because of the tints on my front windows. If you look hard enough though you'll find someone willing to pass ya!

I've had it done on my last 5 cars. all i do is take my stickers to staples and have them lamanated it cost a dollar or two and looks good.. then i just double sided tape them to the tint.

02 type-s Your bugging w/that dark ass tint. 06 acura TL your windshield does look darker than 35% but it looks good. These NYC cops are dicks, they pulled me over and I only had 20% all around(except windshield). They gave me a ticket and I had a PBA card to back me, but no help there. Just be careful...
