Legal tint???

[TooPoorForTurbo]

I know that a tinted windshield is illegal but I'd like to know what tint is legal here in Quebec? Can the 2 front windows be tinted and if so, how much %? And what is the limit for the other windows?? thx

No tint in the front is allowed (70%), but you should be able to get away with a light tint.

If I would get 35%, do you think I might get a ticket? And if anyone has had tickets for tints in Quebec I'd like to know how much % they had. Cuz I've seen lots of cars tinted only on the back windows so was wondering..

35% Front and 20% rear.

Pulled over last summer and get a 48hrs inspection paper. Took me 1 hr to take out the tint, so 2 hr in total and my hands are so tired after, then pay 45$ for the inspection, it is not fun at all.


Advice is leave your front windows, not worth to risk to get pull over.
My friend pulled over for tinted windows as well, and got a ticket for about 125$

Same thing happened to me, the week i was giving my car back, a cop stopped me for, illigal exhaust, smoke tail lights, xenon bulbs, speeding and tints!!!!!! i had that car for 3 years no prob whatso ever with any cop, week i had to return it they got me.

that day i had to remove my tints and have to pay for the inspection fee.

i had 35% in front and 20% back

Holy s*** dude how much did it cost?? And was the illegal exhaust about sound or emissions??

in Montreal, almost all aftermarket exhaust else than OEM is illegal. Any muffler than make the car sound louder is illegal.

Snooky, you were lucky that they didn't tow your car away on the spot. I know someone with drop, exhaust, tinted windows, smoked rearlights, etc....cops tow his car on the spot with few tickets on hand.

So.. if I would get an Obx header and maybe a magnaflow or racing beat exhaust would I risk getting tickets or being towed away?

Holy s*** dude how much did it cost?? And was the illegal exhaust about sound or emissions??

it was for both sound and emissions,

the break down:

tail lights: $60

xenons" $60

exhaust: $130

speeding: $220

clear side markers: gave me a break

tints: No ticket but i had to remove them with in 24hrs and pay $60 inspection!
