Window Tinting

iJOC32 · 05-13-2008, 11:44 AM

Im getting my windows tinted this afternoon and was thinking about going with 5 or 10%. My car color is nighthawk so i think it would look good with really dark windows im going to leave the windsheild as is though. Also incase any1 was wondering the cops out here dont care about detailing such as this and I talked 2 a police officer that said even if u were pulled over it is only a secondary offense and the most ull get fined is $25.

I don't like word of mouth type things. Best if it's written down... Being a part time cop for a little bit, I learned to be wary of dark tinted cars because you can't see anyones hands.

iJOC32 · 05-13-2008, 11:51 AM

Yea i can see your point in that but u have to roll the windows down win a cop pulls u over so doesn't that help?

H3DTRNR · 05-13-2008, 11:52 AM

heh cool. I'm gettin my tints this afternoon too. but probably not gonna go as dark as you are. also, i don't wanna risk gettin pulled over. I already feel a tension with cops anytime they pass them.

iJOC32 · 05-13-2008, 11:55 AM

what are you going with?

B-Stylz · 05-13-2008, 11:58 AM

I am getting 5% on the 25th of May. Had 13% before and it wasn't dark enough for me. Got to do at least 1 car with dark tints.

iJOC32 · 05-13-2008, 12:00 PM

That's true, but sometimes people dont, and those are usually the worst. Hondas are high on the theft list.

H3DTRNR · 05-13-2008, 12:02 PM

honestly, i'm not even sure what the limit is in my area. But imma trust the dude puttin it on my car cuz he did a friend of mine and yeah.

But I do kinda want it dark mainly because theres hella lifted trucks in my area and their stupid headlights keep beemin right into rear view mirror! Hella pisses me off! Do you know the limit in Cali?

iJOC32 · 05-13-2008, 12:03 PM

yea they are u got alot of good points. ill just b carefull and always have my windows rolled down if i see the lights go up lol

H3DTRNR · 05-13-2008, 12:05 PM

thats what one of my friends said! Luckily the cop wasn't that much of an ass and just let him off with an "invisible" fix it ticket. (cop didn't give him one)

lovecheese · 05-13-2008, 12:06 PM

Great idea! The local cops already don't like me... I've been pulled over numerous times because I "look" suspicious.

Since all the Jacksonville PD know I carry a concealed I roll all 4 windows down so they can plainly see me and I aint gotta worry about them pulling on me.

iJOC32 · 05-13-2008, 09:32 PM

alright so i went with 5% ill have picks up later

Mitchyy · 05-13-2008, 09:37 PM

i always have a problem with tint on my car. thank god my mom is a cop and she told them to lay off!! i had on my last car 15% all around they busted my chops! now im going either with 5 or 10 all round on a glaxy gray coupe! EAT THAT! lol

H3DTRNR · 05-14-2008, 01:05 AM

I didn't get em.. I fell asleep and then was too lazy to go >.<

Jardiniboy · 05-14-2008, 01:12 AM

Did you check if your state has a percentage limit on tint?

But anyways you guys are lucky that your fines are only $25. Over here if it's darker than 35% +/- 6% the fine is $287 per window that's illegal. I wish I could go 5%

shawnono · 05-14-2008, 01:14 AM

5% in the front? good luck seeing. your side mirrors! and blind spots at night

Mitchyy · 05-14-2008, 01:16 AM

I had 5% before all around except the windshield. 2 pervious cars before my SI, and I got used to it no problem. It's really not big of a deal.

I just like the blacked out feeling so people can't look who's inside.

ortivt6 · 05-14-2008, 11:16 AM

I have had 5% tint all around in all my cars and when i get pull over I just put all my windows down real fast... works everytime...
