5% back, 35% front....

I might actually try to get 50% front and see what happens....I figure if 50% don't look as dark, cops wont bother...

bump!

Yea, I'm getting 15% tints all around.. But wouldn't it look weird w/o the front windshield not tinted.. I think it wouldn't matter with a BB, but it would with my VR.. Just a guess..

IMO, must-tint-windows. Instantly transformed to way-cooler car.

you can only tint a certain section of the front windshield. it is illegal in every state to tint the entire front windshield. Go here and click on your state to find out the laws.

I think the majority of the pics I've seen here do not have the front tinted. Looks fine.

Doing the front is just begging to get pulled over, imo.

I love tinted windows. My FC has 5%....looks SO awesome, and I can still *somehow* see outside at night.

Five pages on 'tinted windows or not'...light 'news' day

anyway, did not sort through all five pages but my local tint shop did say if one uses the sirrus radio then certain metal ? tints should not be used...think they also said something about AM stations being effected.

attn new yorker:

another reason to get your windows tinted is that many people do not look nicely upon interracial relationships and it saves a lot of hassle driving around.

i live in an area really saturated with hispanics, and i cant tell you the amount of dirty looks i've received over the years. "oh noes, a gringo is stealing all our beautiful womenz, lets look at him angrily!"

Okay I notice how peops try to see if it's a female driving or male and the only way they can tell is if the speed up and look through my front windshield......This happened last night on the way home... A pickup raced up beside me and peered into my front windshield on the highway...

thats my take on it
Yeh then you get pulled over when you pass the cops and fined, then if your caught again they can take you off the road. Not exactly practical.

UK is even WORSE for it as you can't pass an MOT (road certificate test) if your windows are tinted in front of the b pillar.
