Unbelievable. Don't be a retard -- this is illegal because it is incredibly unsafe.

I had 50% on front side windows on my old car. During the day you won't notice much from the inside or out. I know people in the Philllippines that tint the front with 35%, but the cops there don't really care. The 50% is more noticeable at night, but it kind of defeats the purpose. Just remember that this is almost a guarantee you will get pulled over & ticketed unless you have some kind of medical reason.

It's just asking for a ticket without a doctors note.

What are your other windows tinted at? My sister has 5% on all windows on her M3 and 30% on the windshield. It is really difficult to drive on rainy days or once it gets dark. I have to usually roll down the window to make sure I'm in the correct parking space. If it's raining out it's also really hard to see the cars around you. Her car looks good, but damn it's dark. It's so dark that during the day you can't see the speed on the speedo. If you have dark tint all the way around don't do it, but I've seen it look ok on cars that do 50% all the way around.

Why don't you just blindfold yourself every time you get into your vehicle to go somewhere...you will be so much cooler blindfolded.

Whether it's against the law or not, that bit you'll have to take on yourself...


For me, I have a Mag. Black Z. I have the side windows @ 25% and the rear window with 25% and another strip on so it's more like 10-15%. On the front I have 50% to block out some of the sun here in Phoenix. And I can say it's stock because with the darker side windows, you can't really tell it's even there... If a cop were to look, he'd be hard pressed to find where the tint is on the front. He'd have to go out of his way to be a douche to prove it.

Lots of opinions here from people who haven't driven or owned a car with front tint.

My 350 and now 370 run 50% front tint coupled with 15% on the sides. It cuts down on heat quite a bit but the forward visibility is absolutely fine. I can take some pictures if you need from inside/outside, OP.

wat2win

yes can you put some pics? when its dark?
or whatever you can?

wat2win

im planning on running 35 or 40 all around and 50 in front. just letting people know what i am planning.

Sure, I'll snap a couple for you this evening or tomorrow.

That's because your not suppose to have it tinted! I got pulled over for having 50% tint on the front sides in my old car. Its a primary offense in NY and they can pull you over for having more than 70%. The state troopers & local PD set up a few checkpoints during the summer in my area just for tinted windows. Not worth the time or money in my opinion.

It will be great if you can put it up tonight~
because I'm picking up the car tomorrow and going to tint shop right after.

I have 70% tint in the front, it's been fine driving for me. It really depends on what you want the tint for, basically I don't want people see me while I'm driving. 70% is enough to do just that and allow me to drive safely at night.
