Honestly, I'd get rid of the tint on the rear windows, but leave the rear windshield tinted.

I used to roll around with 5% all around and 35% on the windshield and took it all off and went with 35% all around looks 100 times better for some reason. I don't know just doesn't look right with just the tint in the rear.

I don't think he's a cop... cuz if he were he'd be sporting limo tints all around no worries...

come to think of it... I know he isn't a cop lol

I live in NJ as well. I had 15% tint placed on the rear of the car- keeps it nice and cool when parked. I would have liked full tint, but I've already seen police roadblocks checking inspection stickers and to see if the cars are in compliance. It's a PIA, but I don't want to be repeatedly pulled over. With the rear only tinted, it doesn't look bad.

I give you at least a month to put something else on. lol

I had 5% all around and got pulled over often but I was let off on "professional courtesy". Anyway I took off the front to get through DMV inspection and drove around for a couple of months without the tint. It took awhile getting used to not having tint up front, but now I went with 20% on the front and rear with the back window at 5%.

Do 35% all around like I have except for the windshield, remember when i had the black TL how those "MOFO'S" used to stop me at least twice a weak cause of the limo tint's ! so far with the TL-S I got no problems (knock on wood) and remember you have dark interior so even with 35% your tint's would look dark anyways !

i see u have a jersey plate, did you have a lot of cop problems around here?
Im from jersey but go to school in RI, so when im in jersey i roll with my front windows down except when it's raining ( i have 20% all around on a NBP Type S) and i'v been pulled over too many times, so just wondering if you ripped it off due to cop problems also, or just cuz ur more mature? lol
