5% Tint put on today..Pics..

[ATLExplosion]

Be careful. GSP around Atlanta are starting to really crack down on dark tint because of officers getting shot. And as far as I know it's very illegal to tint your windshield at all and a hefty fine. I like my privacy too: 2% on all back, 5% on front two. But it does look damn good

I heard there is no more tint law in GA right now, but there will be one again in 2006. Anyway, I don't go downtown much (until I start back at GSU in the fall), so hopefully I won't see too much Atlanta PD in my rear view.

just roll down the windows, you will be albe to see fine

but with 5% all around AND 20% on the windshield, your crazy haha. i'd be ripping that **** off after a while

Never that...

That looks crazy (good) but you are eventually get pulled over for it. My friend has a 96 red X (danydynamite on the site) had limo tint all around, not including the windshield and it was very very hard to see people steping off curbs when coming around the corner.

He finally got stopped by the cops a few weeks ago and they issued him not one but two tickets (one for the left front and one for the right front). It is legal for the back windows to be as dark as you want, but for the front in NYC I belive the limit is 65%. So to sum it up two weeks ago we took off his front tints and it cost him near 150$ in tickets.

Looks hot!

I do have to agree that its gonna be a pain to see though. I had 5% in my previous car and i had my head out the window when I was backing up unless it was a super well lit area.

Factory rear tinting is about 50%. I had my front made the same with 50% on my 98 Mountaineer. In TN, 50% is the limit. I like 35%, but seeing to back up is hard at night. One of my 95 Crown Vic P71's had 35% on it. That was a city police car, breaking the law here.

Does anyone know if window tint will survive on the outside? I want to tint my sideview mirrors with 50%, or the next lighter shade. I'll also be doing my sunroof with 50%.

My tint is way too dark at night. I'm gonna take the 20% off the windshield, but leave the 5% on the sides. I'm thinking about putting 47% on the windshield just to take away some of the sun during the day.

New York Tint Laws..for any New York explorers...


Q. Can I have tinted windows on my car or truck?

According to the NY State Vehicle and Traffic Law under section 375-12, if you have a 1992 or later model year passenger car or station wagon, the side windows adjacent to AND behind the operators seat must have a light transmittance of SEVENTY PERCENT or greater. If you own a vehicle classified by the EPA as a truck or light truck ONLY the area BEHIND the operators seat may be tinted with a tint less than seventy percent. These types of vehicles include but are not limited to: SUVs, Mini Vans, Full size vans and Pick up trucks. All types of vehicles 1992 or later, the windows adjacent to the operators seat must have a light transmittance of seventy percent or greater. If your vehicle is older than a 1992 it must conform to a older V&T section which was a light transmittance of greater than thirty five percent. This section was first written in the 1985 era.
What is light transmittance? If clear glass has a light transmittance of 100 percent, than any type of tint or film that is placed on the glass to impede the outside light from transmitting through the glass to the inside would lessen the light transmittance. If half of the light from the outside is blocked by the tint then the light transmittance would be fifty percent.
Rear Windows: The rear most window can be tinted to any percentage IF the vehicle is equipped with side rear view mirrors on both sides.
Exemptions: There is a exemption for medical reasons. More information can be obtained at any DMV office.
How do the officers measure the tint? Some patrols carry a tint meter that accurately measures the light transmittance.

Q. Can I cover my license plates with a plastic cover to protect them?

According to the NY State Vehicle and Traffic Law under section 402-1, number (license) plates "shall not be covered by glass or ANY plastic material"
