I want to get tints on my g. I'm not sure how dark to go though. I live in CT and dont wanna have to take them off if i get a ticket. I was thinking 20% front sides, 15% back sides and 5% on the rear.

I'm also thinking about gettin the windshield done, what percentage? any thoughts?

 

Its illegal to get your windshield done.

Also get the same % all around or it will look stupid.

I have 25% all around and have never had any trouble at all. The law here is 28%.

I kinda regret not doing 15% sometimes, but 25% is pretty good looking. It won't give you that "I can't tell if someone is even in that car effect" like 15% will though.

 

If you have black interior 20% or 25% will look great. I sometimes get a little frustrated with the 15% during the night...makes it hard to see.

I do agree though, go the same percentage on all windows. If you have to go lighter on the front two windows, at the very least do your back three windows the same percentage.

Dont touch the windshield.

 

in ct windshieled is illegal.

anything under 35% is illegal, so if you dont want to get any tickets i wouldnt recommend going any lower than that.

the rear window you can go how ever dark you want.

 

had a 98 4Runner before my G. had 20% on front sides and 3% on the other windows. never got pulled over.

The windshield i wasnt sure about cuz that would prob get me pulled over

 

on my previous car before my G, i had double limo all around except for windshield, (2 layers of 5%). never got pulled over.
in answering your thread, what is legal because you dont want to get pulled over, and what you want to do are two different things. good luck.

 

In CT, sides can't be darker than 35% but the rear window can be as dark as you wanna go.
*Edit*... just read the whole thread, so I'm just echoing and confirming what Suby said above.

 

thanks guys. but i know whats legal or whats not. I do live in the state. im just asking whats the darkest i could go without gettin pulled over and what do you think would look best.

 

If you do not abide by the laws that you clearly already know, you get what you ask for.

Go as dark as you want. Sooner or later, it may come back and haunt you.
Nobody knows for sure if you are going to get nabbed for illegal tint and asking a forum full of people what they think, and then going by their word that you won't get hassled is just silly, IMO.

I followed the laws in MA simply to avoid the potential of having to be fined, remove it and have it redone.

Make your own decision.

 

Nicely put, couldnt agree more.

 

The law is pretty much the same in Georgia.

I have 5% on my rear windshield and rear windows and 25% on my front windows and windshield strip

 

I have 20% all around and i love it, its not bad at night unless your driving in an area with no street lights.

 

i have 5% all around and ive never had any trouble with cops, i roll down all windows when i got pulled over, for the front windshield only go like 50% or u will be screwed at night. im from wisconsin and the law is 20% back windows and 35% front

 

ask your doctor to give you a sunshade waiver to file through DMV. Make up some crap to your doctor that you get migraines in bright sun light. If you got a sunshade waiver, you can go darker than the legal limit, but you still have a limit. You could even get ur windshield tinted

Ive got one and I live in VA. the legal limit is 50% up front and 35% on the rear, no windhshield tinting.

with the waiver i can go 35% up front, 35% rear, and tint the windhshield @ 70%. but what I usually do is 20% on the back glass, 35% sides, 50% windshield.

 

haha, I have never heard of that in my life. I would love to see the look on the police officers face when you try to tell him you have a doctors note.
