Illegal Window Tint

[Duke309]

Im wondering how many people have tint that is darker than legally allowed in their state? In Florida its 35% on the fronts and 15% on the backs and I was thinking about getting atleast 15% all the way around, mainly because we got about 38% on the front on our Alero and its not nearly dark enough.

Also, how is driving at night with that dark of a rear window, isnt it harder to spot cops, not that I speed, especially at night.

Can I get some pics showing how dark each percentage is? like 5%, 15% 20%

I have 15% on my windows in my truck and cobra. I think its the perfect level, not to dark to make it harder with night driving or attract the cops. It is illegal but I have been pulled over numerous times and I have never had a problem with it. Now I have had friends with 5% get pulled over and been ticketed for illegal tint.

i have 5% all aroung on the stang and on my ranger. the wife has 15% on her jeep all around. i have had 2 tickets on the stang and too many to count over the past 7 years on the ranger. however the wife has never gotten a ticket for her 15% tint.

How is it that wive's never get busted, but us guys always get it?
Since getting my GT, I've had 2 speeding tickets, 1 ticket for running a red light (it was barely red and I didn't wanna spill my Starbucks!) and, yep, nailed for 5% all around. Both GTs have 5%, and she drives as fast as I do...but I'm the ticket king in our household.

5%, no trouble so far luckily. My freind also has 5% on his 'stang and he got ticketed a while ago for it.

I try not to attract attention.

Its very very dark and at night it can be a little bit of a PITA, but all around its not bad.

I live in a state where it's zero tint on the driver and passenger windows and I have tint. I've never been bothered. I also don't have a front plate.

I've heard of cops making you pull tint off right on the spot. I'm not sure what would be happen if I was asked to remove it. I don't think I would.

5% and I've never had a problem. I just roll my windows down when I'm near cops lol...plus, they seem to actually be doing better things than pulling people over for tint violation hahahaha

So with 20% you can see in a little bit? I think im gonna go with 15% all the way around, now the problem is finding a good shop to do the job. What do I have to tell them about the dot matrix?

Whats it like having your windows painted black

That seriously looks darker than 5%

Georgia State Patrol measured mine at 22% and 28%. It's supposed to be 35% according to the guy I bought it from.

 

[Duke309]

even though your car is in the direct sunlight, your tint looks lighter than the 38% I have on teh alero.

No kidding. It's pretty light. I actually wanted some 20% but if it's measuring 22% and 28% (go figure that one) then I need to get 15%...

 

[bigcat]

13% tint all the way around......

never had a ticket. i had 5% on my truck and also never had a ticket. just roll your windows down and be polite if you happen to get pulled over.

Actually it's 20% all around. Helps that the interior is black.

Is the window tint thing a moving violation in most states? I thought it was more of a kick in the balls if you get pulled over for something else.
