I am gonna get my windows tinted this summer and I like the look of darker tint (10%) or so. I here that 15% is all that is legal. From experience have you guys will illegal tints have gotten a ticket because of it or is it safe to do this?

 

In Tennessee you can only tint down to 35% by law. You can illegally tint below that limit but you risk a ticket and also having issues with your insurance company when they find you've caused an accident by driving around 95% blind.

Check with your local tint shops for your state's laws.

 

ok thanks

 

Here in Louisiana if you have had eye surgery, you can get it as dark as you "need" to.

 

lol, i wonder how that works, i swear officer i need 10% tint

 

The doctor gives you a card to hand to the officer to show that you have a medical condition.

I don't know how you all do it. I got 35 on my sides and 20 on the back and I can barely see when going in reverse at night.

 

I had my windows tinted about three days after I bought my Z,
last July. There was a "NEW" type of film made by 3M called
Black Chrome. The closer you are to the car, it looks like normal
tint, but the further away you get, it looks chrome/silver.
I love the way this tint looks and performs. Many of my
friends have gone and had their tint stripped and redone with
this same stuff.

 

i have 35% in PA and my girl just got pulled over in my car two weekends ago. its really light and you can easily see through it i know the cop just had a thing to get me... she paid the ticket lol

 

^ you made your girl pay for it? lol

 

i've had 5% tint for a year and never gotten pulled over for it...when popo's roll round, just roll the window down... although, i wouldnt advise turning at night!

 

Dude...It all depends...like if you live in a big city the probability that you'll get pullover for tints is really small...(its too much paper work for such a small infraction)...now if your in an rural area...well if the cop has nothing better to do and probably bored u bet your getting pulled over. I have 4% on my front windows and 2% in the rear window (looks sick)...its a very noticeable tint and I live in a big city that is surrounded by small ones...the moment I get into the towns my windows go down. Just be careful.

 

i go to college in a small town were there are lots of cops with nothing to do, so i probably should go pretty light..

 

got a 150.00 dollar ticket for 15% on my maxima. sucked. now rocking the 35% on the sides and 20 on the back...its legal atleast.
