If your tints look dark you will get pulled over. I got nabbed 5 times alone in the last week , but im still not taking them off. Before flaming starts, no I don't drive like an ***, nor do i attract necessary attention. I got pulled solely for the 20's. Be careful guys!

NY State window tint law is 70% . You may not drive like an ***, but stating that you are not taking the 20% tint off after getting stopped 5x's in one week makes one wonder...............?

I have 40% in my car and I have got 0 tickets. I was pulled over at least 4 times post tint and not a single warning or ticket. I personally believe 40% is the way to go in this car.

That only works if the weather is warm. If you drive past a cop with your windows down when it's like 40 degrees out or colder the cop isn't that stupid. My one buddy who is a cop laughs at people who try that under those conditions.

Stay out of Marlboro, that's where I've gotten all my tint tickets. Even worse, stay out of Freehold - they will ticket you and require you to appear at court to pay the fine and show the officer that you've had your tint removed. Seriously. I was one of like 8 other people there for tint violation (this was Jan of this year, got stopped by a cop when I went to Freehold Mall for xmas shopping the previous month).

I've not put tint back on, because I'm in and around Marlboro/Freehold area too much :/

BTW any tint on your front windows is illegal in NJ. You won't even pass inspection (unless you know a licensed inspector who's willing to just check you on emissions).

hatch and c-windows won't give you trouble. You'll only get pulled if you have any on your driver/passenger windows

I've had 0-5% on every car I've owned (except my 72 beetle) and I've never had a ticket for tint, and that was living in VA.

I decided to get 35% on the Z since it's the legal limit (32%) in GA.

When I had 0%, I rolled my windows down when I passed cops, and definitely rolled them down when I got pulled over. Cops in my family pull people for tint because they can't see in their car, not because the windows are tinted (if that makes sense).

In NY your windows have to ALLOW 70% of the light in, therefore any aftermarket tint on your two front windows is illegal...

yeah 35% on the windshield. tinting your windshield blocks so much and if you get high quality tint there's no problem with visibility.
