Tint!?
 
So I Plan on tinting my 8, Just Not Sure What Percentage. I Like Dark Tints But Long Story Short
My Old Altima Has 5% Never Got Pulled Over; Well Not For The Tints At Least One Day I'm Driving My Mom Taurus I Get Pulled Over (Ironically I Wasn't Doing Anything :dunno: I Got Stopped at a Red Light :() Then It Was Hell In Court The Judge Was In Ass
Had To Pay A Bail Out For I Still Don't Know Why;

But if AnyOne Has
35%
50%

Please Show :)

Thanks!

thats just because they dont feel like pulling over the sorry looking fellow that thinks if he rolls them down they wont know LOL

Atilla 06-18-2010 11:23 AM

The 35 front looks lighter than mine......and I always thought that's what I had! I have no clue what I have *from the dealership tinted...*

hard to tell from the pic because its not sunny out, but looks like 10-20 in the front at least

Kaiser bun 06-18-2010 02:36 PM

Just an FYI to the op, 50% tint is literally not even worth it imo

Vlaze 06-18-2010 02:42 PM

Mine are 40% on the side, because keep in mind we already have some tint from the factory, so this additionally puts me near the 35% limit borderline of my state. It blocks the sun out from annoying me when stuck in traffic perfectly, so I don't really need it darker.

The rear is at 15%.

Tweek 06-18-2010 02:57 PM

Mine is Florida legal, it gets the job done.
Idk why you want such dark tint, then you cant see shit at night.
Even with legal its tricky.

Kaiser bun 06-18-2010 03:46 PM

I wouldnt reccomend any tint on the front, my point was i dont see the point in 50% as you might as well leave it at nothing or go darker, its a waste of money because it resembles regular windows to me. When i bought my car it had tint all the way around and i removed the front, but for the week before i did that, yes it was extremely tricky to see at night.

Krazed_Rx8 06-18-2010 03:56 PM

I have 5% tint all around and love it!

Get whatever is legal on the rear seat windows in your state on the rear's as well as fronts (probably around 20-25%). You won't have an issue. Get the tail window max legal tint (probably 12%)

That said if you get pulled over for some other issue they may check them.....roll them down.
Why do you think the 8's windows go down so fast?? lol

Mazurfer 06-18-2010 08:25 PM

www.tintlaws.com For about the 100th time. It's just not worth the hassle in my opinion.


Lucky in Florida we get ~30% up front and 15% in the back, so that's dark enough for me.

ive gotten 3 tickets in 2 weeks for my tints after being free and clear for 2 years :(

goddamn ny state government nearly shutting down and needing cash....

Yep, NY state has no money, they need to find something to fill their fuck ups ... I mean err this deep red budget.

There is a group of cops, like 10-15 of them, been sticking around at Flushing Ave & Metropolitan Ave for the past couple of days to write tickets, causing a huge traffic jam.

fucking NYPD.


oh as for whats legal tint for NYC, its 70%

Avox 06-22-2010 01:18 AM

im not sure on the true percentage of my tent as it was on the car when i bought it this past thursday, but looking the other pics im sure its around the 10-15% mark, its all around just the front windows are down.

mbentley 06-22-2010 12:26 PM

here are a few of mine before lowering springs

mine is 20% if i remember correctly. when it is pretty dark at night, i can be slightly difficult to see. not sure how you guys can see with 5% at night if you don't have the windows rolled down :D
