Tint levels?

[ungawd]

I got 30% sides and rear, nothing on the front, although I'm eyeing that brow idea. I practically never have to worry about oncoming aircraft, not sure why the windshield has to extend so far up. But I'd prefer something that shaded gradually instead of a hard strip delineation, dunno if anyone sells something like that.

I went wih the max legal limit here. 35% all over with a 6" visor strip. I wish now that I would have gone 5% or even totally blacked out the windshield strip. I'm seriously considering revisiting the tint shop to have it redone.

Tint laws in New York are tough. I'd love to tint my windows but I don't feel like getting pulled over everyday.

 

[$ub$onic]

I went 35% and I got stopped at a gas station because the cop wanted to tell me that I got a nice car

In pa the limit is 70%, but as long as they can see in they normally don't care.

I am jealous of the darker tints everyone has. A new law in MN now prevents tint shops to go darker than 50% (legal limit). If a shop is caught installing darker they can be charged with $10,000 fine and/or a misdemeanor. No shop nearby will even touch darker tint.:sadbanana:

ive got 45% Carbon Tint in the Front sides and 18% Carbon Tint in the Rear Sides and Rear Window. I need to contact the guy that did mine and ask him how much to do the windshield strip thats allowed here. should have done it when i had the other done. dang sun keeps getting in my eyes. Stock sunvisors are worthless! here are a few pics of my sonic. will take some interior pics and edit this later...

Nice. Looks good. New York only allows 70% for all four side windows. No limit for the back window.

its 50% Front Sides and any % on the Rear Sides and Back Window here . yeah, that means i went a little lower than the legal limit. but really, does 5% make that much of a difference. i dont think so. havent had any troubles yet with the PoPo lol. I really want to take it back to the guy that did mine so i can get the windshield top strip done too. wish i had done it when i had the rest done too. damn sun lol.

Here's 20%

I just got my windows done. There 20%

I have 15% all the way around with a 6in. strip on the windshield.

 

[american_tuner]

I have 15% all the way and 35% on the whole front window. Is that illegal?...... well maybe only if you get caught

What difference does it make how dark the rear door windows are? What if you didn't have windows at all...like a van?

you tinted your whole windshield?

 

[SouthFLSonic]

you tinted your whole windshield?

LOTS of people tint their windshields down here in FL. I saw a guy behind me in a white convertible Camaro with the top down during the day and his windshield was so dark I could not even see the drive.

I have a few friends who have this also and they get pulled over all the time for it because all the cops have to do is wear polarized sunglasses and they can see the windshield tint from miles away. Don't see why not just wear sunglasses during the day so you'll be able to see at night or in the rain.

I just got 35% on the fronts, and 15% on the rears. Going to get a 50% on the windshield next. I rode in a mustang with 50%, and there was no problem with vision at night.

5% all around 10" strip, the way i seen it was if I'm getting it then its for two reasons. Privacy and to keep the sun out of my face, both of which practically require 5.

10" strip? Why not just cover the windshield with plywood?

Lol wut?

I ended up with what I was told were the max levels I could go with in Louisiana. They would do darker but I had to pay cash and got no receipt. I wanted 20 in the back and 35 on the front but went with the legal limit to keep from being made to take it off to get an inspection sticker (brake tag is what they call it here).

 

[firstorbit84]

20 rear/35 front is legal in FL

 

[SouthFLSonic]

20 rear/35 front is legal in FL

I thought Florida was dark as you want rear 35% front?? This is my first car I didn't go 5%, guess I'm getting old, couldn't see out back at night lol. I went 15% all the way around and turned out perfect.

We've got 5 on the back windows and 20 on the front doors on our sedan
