Tints

I live in NJ, which means you can only have tints on the rear passenger side/driver side/windshield. Can't have any in the front... legally. Does anyone have any pics of lancer's with just those tints. Does anyone think it looks retarded to have just the rear windshield/ passenger windows tinted and not the front?
Anyone from NJ have any uhm...suggestions. I dont mind the additional ticketing if its still a secondary offense (means you can't get pulled over for it, but you can get a ticket for it by doing something else pulling-over worthy)...right?

I have my windows tinted except for the front, doesn't look bad. Don't get me wrong I'd love to have all my windows tinted but I don't want the risk of tickets and court. As far as I know when you get a ticket for that, you have to go to court and the tint must be off your front windows. I know a girl who went to court for it and she had to remove it. I see alot of people with all their windows tinted but personally I don't want to take that chance.

as your driving just notice most suv's like cherokees and explorers. They only have those 3 windows tinted, just picture that on a lan. I think it will look fine. dont have a pic. search in the registry, im sure you would find something.

I have 20% all around except windshield. I get pulled over occasionally here in NY since the legal state or city limit is supposedly 75% in the driver and passenger side front. The ones in the back can be as dark as you please....

I don't get ticketed because I have a PBA and shield from my cousin whos' a cop, so they don't give me a hard time about it. I just play dumb.

im from NY too, and the fronts can only be tinted 70%, i did 10% in the back and 35% in the front, and u cant tell the front is tinted, u should prolly do dark as hell in the back ones and like 35% in the front and u'll be good... i've gotten pulled over for a light out, and they didnt say shxt about the tint.
