I had 20% tint all around on my black RSX, and it was perfect. I intend to do the same for the Z.

I have 35% on the fronts and 5% on the rears. I was told that if you get less then 35% you run the risk of getting a ticket. Also, I was stopped when I first got my tint as i could not roll down my windows (they were doing the RIDE program) and I was told that you are not allowed to go more then the factory tint. Don't know how true that is but just wanted to let you guys know.

35% is legal limit. But cops can't see that, they usually use their own judgement to determine if they can see your face or not. I got a ticket for 25% tint on my Z a while back, but fought it off easily... the cop was wearing sunglasses

there's no set "legal limit" in the HTA. it's pretty much completely up to the discretion of the officer to determine if your view, or his view of the driver is obstructed. most agree that 35% is the point where you can get away without being hassled by cops, but technically if the officer feels like his or her view is obstructed by your 35% tints (which you saw), you can get ticketed.

i have 35% on my z now (sides and rear) and i find them a bit light, if i were to re-tint, i probably wouldn't go below 20% since you're just asking to get stopped.

My fronts are 2 shades below the legal limit. But I have been driving around like that for 6 years with only one warning. No tickets. So it’s a chance you take, depending on the discretion of the officer.

As soon as I find on that I like, I am having a hard time

I am looking for a Daytona Blue exterior, black interior, 6 speed, coupe. Non base, would prefer a track because I don’t care for leather. Looking for a 06 but will consider a 04-05 in really good condition.

There are not many of them out there, out of 110 or so for sale right now on trader. Like 7 are blue, minis he convertibles and autos that leaves around 3-5 2003-2007 ones that meet my criteria. Then from there they have to have the amount of km I am after, condition and not be an accident car.

I find that track pack is pretty rare in Toronto, it's either under track pack or just straight to Grand Touring.
