window tint

[handovdoom]

I know someone who was talking to a cop once, and apparently here there's someway to get around tinting laws (in Nova Scotia), and actually be able to tint your front window. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I may look into it.

I have 20% on my windows, never been pulled over.

[Ghetto_Accord]

lol.. the legal limit in QC is 70% and mine are 20-25% I believe.. The previous owner of my cb7 never got pulled over for them here and neither did I so far..

Whats your source, I haven't been able to find an up to date source on Quebec tinting laws.

My friend uses 5% on his drivers and passanger and 10% on the rears. I think it looks great and works very well too, just that he has been stopped a couple times.

i like as dark as you can get......5%...even though its not legal...i would still do it

[Rfugitt]

Do the same tint all over the car. I got a lighter tint (20%) on the 2 front doors and limo tint (5%) on the rear doors, back window, and sunroof and have regretted it ever since. I see lexus, beemers, cadilacs, etc all over the place here in Ohio with limo tint all around.

I think that I will get some intersection lights before I get the front doors done with limo tint though. I live in the boonies where there aint no street lights, and it can get difficult to find the correct place to turn sometimes.

okay tell them you got a skin disease! that if the sun comes in too much contact
you will burn up or something and maybe they'll let u go dark on the tint or something lol

tints will just hold the amount of sunlight coming in. personally i have 30% all around including my little coupe back windows and its perfect for me because during the day u can see my silouette (not my face) even in direct sunlight. now at night or during a rainy day they work just as good as 5% limo tints. also be aware that the car already comes with a UV tint so whatever % tints u got dont forget to subtract a - 2 or -3. therefore when i got pulled over by police (at night) he though i had limo tint but to his surprise they were at 28% according to his laser scanner. he said they werent too bad but he had to write me up cuz VA is 35%. also be aware that luxury cars dont get stopped by police too often as ours do all the time. damn stereotypes

just tint the rears dont tint the front...its too much of a risk!

[DRzCB72nr]

i have 5%in the rear glass. 20% in the two rear and 35% on the two front.
legal in new york is 30%. yea i currently have 4 tickets one for each window. but im not taking them off i rather pay.

Damn, your such a rebel...lol...How much are these tickets anyways?

[Smokinspeeds]

they can only really write you up for the front windows! the back windows could be painted flat black, it's not a DOT requirement for any of the other windows other than the front windshield and the front two. Maybe it's different but they can't write you up for the back windows and rear window as far as I know... look up your local laws and take it to court and get those dismissed! The fronts are legal you should be good to go.

Yeah stereotypes suck. Found out AFTER that the blue tint isn't legal. Didn't get pulled over for the first near year, then recently being pulled over for other things (registration was a bit late/tailight went out) they mentioned the tint... but I didn't get a ticket at all those times just mentioned.. either way it's a bit over $100 for a ticket, or just as much to get it re-done, heck more if I have to pay someone else to take it off. Sucks... everyone around here has the 'clear' license plate covers, the whole car will be clean but the cover is terribly discolored and dirty and somehow they are still everywhere... i had a slightly blue one once but i kept it perfectly clean and you could read my plate fine, cop followed me half a mile without knowing what to write me up for, i turn in on my street and he puts his lights on after distancing himself like he was about to let me go... profiling like we don't know what they are doing... heh oh well

in NC the limit is 35% i've had 20% on all the way around for over 3yrs now, and the jeep i just bought a month ago i've had the front tinted to 20% to match the factory rear tint.

only problem here is finding a palce that will pass the window tint on inspections, but i know the right places to go.

haha lol plenty of those around here! more like they don't even check a lot of stuff. Never mentioned my tint either. if I get a tik i can go to court and if the cop is there i will show date of inspection and date of tint, so they can see that it passed

[cvc7chris]

i had 20 on back/back windows and 35 on drivers and never ever got in trouble

but i heard police aren't too strict on suvs/vans!
they just after the ricers
