Jersey Tints
 

I dunno, what do you guys think? Do people really get pulled over that often for tints?

Re: Jersey Tints
 

I used to have my 94 ebony tinted w/ 35%... I never got hassled. I also had my old truck tinter w/ 5% and got hassled all the time... I believe as long as it is not too dark, its not that big a deal

Anything 20% and down you're asking for trouble. I have 35% and still got pulled over...... granted, he only hassled me because he didn't have time to clock me when he pulled into the service entrance and I was driving WAAAAYYYYY too fast...... So I got that and a warning for an "overly obtrusive plate bracket" ... yeah BS I know, but he certainly needed an excuse to humiliate me..... Another good thing to check is what a second offense will cost you. I fought mine and got out of it ($174) but had I not, and got another since (that was the only time in 4 years tinted) a second offense in my state is :eek:$900:eek: ..... going lower the hassle increases, I had a buddy that had 5% in his prelude and the state trooper made him peel/scrape it off on the spot.

Holy crap, you gotta be kidding me.

I'd rather do it all around than just the rears, I think it'd look ridiculous otherwise.

20% sounds nice. Would keep the sun out of the corner of my eyes on the lovely morning commutes I take to work. I dunno. Do we have pics of black SVXs with tints?

Yeah it takes away from the window uniqueness because you can't tell if its too dark where the window ends.

Re: Jersey Tints
 

Crack the window and give it a stripe:lol::D it would be looking out the slot windows on a tank.... of course if you want that effect you need camo paint on your face too

Re: Jersey Tints
 

I have been thinking about doing the window tint on the fixed glass front and rear. That would really help with the sun. The only problem I have is with the part of the window I look thru to see the outside rear view mirrors. So I was thinking about stopping the tint a few inches from the bottom on the front glass.

Then of course there is that question? Would I get pulled over? Would I get a ticket for the tinting? Well the movable window is not tinted and can be seen thru. That should be enough. Does anybody know what the NJ law says about tint?

I was also considering just doing the movable glass. I think that would look better. It would also leave the fixed glass free. It would also accent the movable windows and split window design. The fix glass would be open and that should help avoid tickets.

I also know that if I got pulled over I would have the window open before the officer got to my car and my hands would be on the wheel in plain sight. Oh yeah engine off and enterior lights on at night. Well you know the officers carry guns!

Re: Jersey Tints
 

NJ Law dictates that absolutely no tint is allowed on windows forward of the the front seats. This means driver and passenger doors and windshield.n Not even a little bit unless you have a prescription for it (sensitive to sunlight)

Re: Jersey Tints
 

I thought about doing just the fixed glass in front, but then after doing a few photoshop mockups I realized it would looked really odd and mismatched. Then I just decided against it, because I have a hard time seeing out of the back window at night as it is.

stolen online, but accurate.
