window tints

I've done 50% all around tint on most of my cars and i've never had a problem. Tints that are very dark attracts cops
 
Haha thats pretty funny, I would have thought the cops would have said something.

Why dont the cops have anything better to do than to write tickets for tint? They dont even bother all the people I see dont stop for red lights or stop signs or turn when theres a no turn on red and in this area they dont bother you too much for speeding, but tints just sets them off apparently?
 
20% on the backs and 30% on the 2 fronts
ive had the car for 2 weeks...been pulled over 2x, both times they said something about the tints and the exhaust, but last time i got a speeding ticket :(

Replaced the tint on the front door windows today.
Went from 10% to 35%. Still looks pretty dark from the outside; but from the inside, I can totally feel the difference in how much sunlight comes through.

We'll see what the get pulled over factor is with this configuration.
 
In PA, I'm pretty sure any non-factory tint is illegal. I have friends that have super dark tint and never had any problems, but then I used to have 35% on my Prelude and got pulled over and ticketed all the time. It's not worth the wasted money for me anymore and the residue the tint can leave behind once taken off. Besides, you should want people to see the person that just smoked them...
 
i'd go with 20%. if ur gonna get a ticket for tints, u might as well go with the darkest one lmao that's how i thought of it. i live in ny, people get pulled over left and right for tints

Actually, 70% is legal... but that's like nothing at all anyway!
I bought my car from the dealer with the 10% on. It looked damn sexy and I'm having trouble parting with it.
 
I've also heard you can somehow get a prescription for tint from your eye doctor. So if you get pulled over you can show them a card and be on your way. Anyone ever hear of this?

It differs by state, but it's generally known as a window tint medical exemption permit. They are not easy to get, and you need a diagnosed skin or eye condition authorized by a medical doctor to apply for the permit.
 
I've got an eye appointment this Saturday so I'll ask and see if my doctor has heard of anything, at least for Michigan if its a state by state thing.
 
Matt, I have a note from my doctor for photosensitivity. I took it to Secretary of State and they approved it for use. They said I could also make it completely official by having it printed on my license, but it's a 15 page document that me and my doctor have to sign and it also binds me from driving any car in the future without tint. Which means, if I get pulled over driving a car without tint, they can give me a ticket for that because it's now deemed a safety issue of me being on the road with that condition. Too much drama for all that.
 
heh, my wife is an eye doctor and turns down at least 3 ricer kids a week after they ask her for a note for their window tint.
 
Haha, I hope I dont fall under the ricer kid category, thats kind of funny though.

lol, I wasn't implying that. She literally gets people that pull up to the curb and run in asking for a medical note for their window tint. They aren't even there for an eye exam.

yea that's very true. my friend fought a tint ticket with a doctor's note and won. i dunno how it is in new york but i believe u only need an official doctor's note rather than a prescription

I'm just thinking I've been going to this doctor for years and havent complained of light sensitivity before so he may be wise to my trick, then again everyones eyes are sensitive to light and if youve been in an office all day then leave work and its sunny its going to bother your eyes for a while...
