Post pics of your GN with tinted windows

[SPOT MY 6]

I am going to get the windows on my GN tinted and would like to see some pics of your guys' cars with tinted windows. Im not worried about what is legal and what is not.

What percentage looks best on the side windows? I am undecided if I should go dark or medium there. I will get dark on the small rear side glass and rear glass.

Where's all the popo,,,Whaaa,window tint is illegal

Here is PA. you are not allowed darker that 70% tint. All cars made with factory A/C have 70% so that is all your allowed. I had 5% on my car up until last year. Now it 35% all the way around. I was just pulled over 1 week ago for the tint. I got off with a warning.

Here is my car

Thanks. In the top pics are 275-60s in the back (DRs) and 245-60s in the front. Bottom pics (with the Draglites) are same in the back but 215-65 in the front. I've got 27x11.5 Hoosiers out back now - they look meaner than the 275s cause they're a bit wider. They don't rub either like the 275s did.

Hey Filly.....i'd suggest 5% on the rear & quarter windows an no lighter than 20% on the sides....thats what I plan on if I ever get around to it. It'll look good

 

[denn454]

i have 35% all around. it looks good, especially at night its dark enough they look black but i can still see just fine. if i were to do it again i'd go 30% just to keep the car a little cooler on sunny days.

i have a few pictures if you really want to see it e-mail me.

Very clean, I like the tint.

I'm thinking about getting some for mine also .. to save interior... how much did it cost in your areas, they always say $99 and up here, but I havn't even brought mine in yet...

When i bought my car it had window tint on it and i was driving on a street with no lights and a cop pulled beside me.........then pulled me over.
Wanted me to remove the tint right on the spot
Anyway i said i was not qualified and he let me go and i did remove it later because who needs the headachs!
Cop said how did i know that you did not have a gun pointed at me!
Anyway black car/dark tint/no street lights=you cannot see inside the car so check with your state law before you do your tint!

NJ allows you to tint the back as dark as you want but not the sides. I have to admit that with 20% on the sides it's tough to see out of at night.

I've never been stopped for the tint, but I'm sure it's a matter of time. I took the car to work a couple of weeks ago and looked out the window to see a local cop with his hands cupped around his eyes and his nose up against the passenger side glass. He shook his head and drove away.

When I got nabbed for speeding last year I put both windows down before I even pulled over so the cop could see me and my brother. He didn't seem concerned with the tint at all (of course had I been going only 5 over the limit instead of 30 he might have turned his attention to other things).

If I drove the car more than the 2,000 miles per year that I normally put on it I wouldn't have the tint. I think the collector's status helps too. It exempts you from inspection but not the laws. But the cops know it's for limited use vehicles and tend to let you slide.

Not worried about what's legal? Not sure what state you're in but most have laws regulating tint for a number of reasons, not the least of which is SAFETY! For a comprehensive overview of the tint laws go here. Personally, that's one of my favorite violations to write. There simply is no defense or debating like speed or red lights. Wrote almost 300 of 'em last year , I'm hoping to win the free toaster.

If you're in the Great Lake State you should know that there's a bill in the senate to make it a Misdemeanor with possible 90 days in jail & $100-$500 fine just for driving a vehicle with illegal tint on public roads.

I've had my gun out plenty of times on motorists with illegal tint because I couldn't see what they were doing. Tint is cool unless you have to stop cars and deal with possilbe nutcake drivers and you can't see how many are in the car or anyone's hands. Can't speak for other states, but tinting your windshield is placing a I'M A DUMMY, STOP ME NOW sign on your car.

One thing I can say about the tint business, it keeps my stats looking good, along with the government treasury. Keep up the illegal tinting I say....

Happy trails.....
