I would like to have it darker, but not too dark so I could still see at night and in bad weather. Never gotten tint on a car before so I didn't know how bad t would have been for less than 35%. Now I kind of wish I had gone darker.

20% is perfect, its dark enough, from the outside looking in, all you can see is a person's sillouhette, and literally you have to look really hard and very close to see whats inside of the car.

And at night, its not too dark to see out of, you can get get different grade variants for tint, 5% being the darkest, and considered "limo" tint. Then it goes up from there. 5/15/18/20/30/35 etc.. I might have missed a few, and in all actuality different companies make different levels of tint.

I will probably go with 20% for my next car. Also the car's color can make the tint look lighter or darker as well.

Very true..

So Im getting closer to ordering the OEM spoiler and the illuminated kick plates, everytime I go to order them, some damn bill pops up on me..:ugh2: Bills come first, unfortunately.:shakes head:

I just went with the 35as that's legal here in VA. They are quick with the tickets here for anything darker.

:shakes head:

Would this be true for non VA tag holders also that are driving in VA? :shakes head:

Yes sir. The law applies to anyone operating a vehicle in VA, regardless of where it is registered. We are also the only state where it is illegal to have a radar detector.

Best thing to do would be to not give them a reason to pull you over.

:shakes head: VA :shakes head:

Contemplating going to the meet without my front plate tomorrow. I do have a legit reason for having it off, but I don't want them to pull me over for that and then just love me a ticket for my tint or something else.

Drive like a grandmother...

I think I will probably do that and just put the front plate on my dash.

I'd say the best thing I would do if I had illegal tint, which I do, and I were to get pulled over, i'd immediately put both windows down even before I came to a complete stop. I would think you'd be less likely to receive that ticket for tint.

Yeah, but the tail lights are kinda obvious :p

tinted tail lights would be a secondary type ticket though, I would think you'd have to be pulled over for something like speeding, than he may add on the potential tail light ticket.

Depends if you consider DC a state or not, but it is also illegal to run one there.

Yeah but the idea was that I would get pulled over for having no front plate and then get a ticket for the tail lights. No worries though, I was fine :)

Man, I dont have the front license plate on my car, I havent even thought twice about it, I think it takes away from the look of the Z with it on, so I just threw my front plate on the dash. I'll worry about it once I get get pulled over for it, I'll just play dumb. lol:tiphat:

My car came with the holes drilled in already, so i just put it on. I was going to put it on my dash until I realized how dangerous it could be. If I were to get into an accident or something, I don't want that thing flying towards my face or neck.

Damn, Blade, I didnt look at like that, dude, you're are right, I might wanna think twice about that then.:tup:
