Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

      a person who looks at somthing and see it as waste is no person at all but he who see what it could be will suceed

        Like he said, 35% is the legal limit in MA. Sign a waiver and get the next step down...28%??? You shouldn't get harassed.

        Two tone tints suck IMO. Get a single percentage all the way around.

          a single percentage is your best bet, I say go with the 28% so that way the police are harassing you.

                I've gotten 2 $40 tickets in 10 years with 20% on sides and back. I like it, so its the chance I take.

                  Hopefully i'm not jinxing myself for saying so...but...

                  My TL came with 5% front 10% back. It's two tone, but so dark it's hard to tell. I'm in MA and yes the limit is indeed 35%, but i have yet to get flipped by the boys. It really depends on how much the tint adds to the "attention factor" of your car and how the cops in your area are. For me, the tint is the ONLY thing not stock on the exterior, so it may not be as attention grabbing as if i had i a drop, wheels, a-spec kit AND tint....

                      on my del sol i had two layers of 5%.... i loved it, maybe because of the fact that nobody could see in or out of it.. i always rolled with my windows up and i was never once harassed by the cops, my car is dropped with some ls mesh..cops would run my plates but never pull me over, like one of these other people said, it just depends on the state and city you live in, they are probably strict over there.. i know in dallas they are pretty lieniant about tint,i know on my cb7 i am going 5%.If you plan on going 35% you might as well not even tint your windows because its almost like not having tint at all, if a person has tint i think they should go all out, but that is just my opinion.
