Don't usually see anyone with fat tints round these parts. I'll post a picture of mine ASAP. 5% all around with 35% on the windshield.

Post your pics!

Here is a thread with a bunch of pics of my car. I have limo tint on the entire rear section. Still haven't tinted my front windows. Legal limit for those is 35% where I live.

That's not something I really want to do myself, so it's just a matter of getting the money together and having it done. It's not that I can't paint well, but I'm lazy when it comes to prepping things correctly.. Prolly gonna have the middle of the front bumper done then too.

Yeah preping was the worst, I was going to get someone to paint mine but I couldn't find anyone for a good price :/

How long will it take to remove that?

Longer than it takes for the cops to show up after running someone over?

I might be able to take it off in time depending on how far away the po-lice are.

But I don't plan on running someone over anytime soon. I can see fine at night.. kinda.. with my brights on.. driving down a well lit main road..

It's fine I'm not even worried about it.

I like your honesty.

Obviously noone (well almost noone) plans to run anyone over but you aren't concerned that it impairs visibility enough that it could be dangerous?

The local law here for aftermarket tint is 35% on the side windows (and rear I think), factory tint is not prohibited at all for side and rear windows. No tint is allowed for the front windshield at all. Obviously there's the visibility for the driver but another reason is that drivers behind you should be able to see the lights of the vehicle in front of you. What are your local laws?

Ya in most states in the US it is illegal to tint the front window. So unless you want to get tickets and be forced to rip that off on the side of the road, i suggest you look into what the law is in your area.

Just for the record I was well aware of the laws before I tinted. I had 35% then dropped it to 5%.

Anyway digressing! NY state law says that tints under 70% are illegal. It's really silly because everyone's car out here is tinted. Cops really don't care down on Long Island either, unless you're driving like an ******* you won't face any problems. But windshield tints are super illegal. I just don't care, I enjoy pushing the limits. Plus it's nice to drive around knowing you have the darkest tints around. Very few people do the windshield

For good reason. If you (knock on wood) get into any type of accident minus being rear ended you're SOL.
