k well I figured Im going to get my windows finally tinted. And anyways, i believe hte limit in our state is 35%. What % do you guys think I should do? Should I stay at 35, or go darker? Id like some opinions on what you all think, and those with tint if you could tell me what you have, and if you like it or not, wish you had gone darker, etc etc. Thanks!

i wish i could've gone darker in the front but our limit is 42%. so i had to go with 50%. back is 20% and i love it...i just had no wish to have to find somebody to do safety inspections and pass me so i stayed legal. 20% all round looks tight though

I was thinking 35% all around, except on the front. How you think that would look?

well that's a dirty trick to pull...

if 35 is legal then do that shit all the way round. it'd look good.

lol well ya know. im just trying to confuse you as much as possible. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

i agree though, i think 35% would look good all the way around, minus the front. thanks

If you need to go light but don't want to be too visible during the day you can go w/ that Platinum tint.....KnightriderXXX has that on his ride and it looks hella tight....I'm even gonna re-do my windows like that.

I've got 35% all around except the front to be legal. All the cops in MD and VA are now carrying either the laser detector or the pocket card, and if your windows are over limit, they'll cite you in a second. Platinum tint is also illegal here. I wish I could go darker, but 35% is a significant improvement over nothing at all.

I habe 35% and it sucks. If I could go back, I would. I want to get 20% now. If I were you I wouldnt get 35's unless you know the cops are gonna hound you. Im from NY so of course the cops have better things to do unless they just want to be a pain in the @ss

Yea they do that here in New York. That's why I didn't go with platinum. Cops are more likely to pull people over with platinum then 20% tint. I wasn't paying 200 dollars to have a cop tell me to have it retinted. So I got the 20%. I like it. It's dark enough I think.

I drive a 99 Black GTZ and right now the person before me put like a higher % than 35% on and I don't think its even close to dark enough. I want somethin a lot darker. I don't want 5% and I want it darker than %20%.... Can they do like 10 or 15%?

I know in NY if you do get the ticket you can fight it Right b4 I go to get mine retinted ( now 35 all around gooing with 20 over the 35) I am going to take pictures of my car, b/c if oyu show them you took it off and have no tint or lighter tint they dismiss you ticket, at least in NY.

i had 5% all the way around on my last car and i would get at least 2-3 tickets for it a year and stopped for it at least 6 times a year. i had it for 5 years. cops in illinois are dicks.

35% all around. Check the link in my sig for the pics. Wish I could get darker, but don't wanna ticket.

Well the law here in cali is that the two front windows can only be 35% and the back windows and rear window can be spraypainted black and you can not get a ticket as long as you have the two side mirrors. i found this out because i got pulled over tonight on my way home from work because me and a mustang were going to race and the cop heard our engines roaring at the stop light and pulled us over and let him go and waited about 5 minutes until he let me go :evil: so i thought i would ask him some questions. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif
