To all tinted Zs in NYC tri-state area
 

If your tints look dark you will get pulled over. I got nabbed 5 times alone in the last week :shakes head:, 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...............?

when you see a cop nearby just roll your windows all the way down, then roll them up when youre out of his sight, i know ppl that do that and they dont get tickets :)

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).

its because of this that I probably won't go with any tints on this car

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

i have 20% all the way around and 35% on my windshield and idk why i haven't been pulled over but knock on wood. it looks great idk tint laws are stupid unless its 5%

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).

35% on the windshield??? :icon14:

i tinted my g 20% all around, but now that cops are going hardcore here in nyc over tints, i'm not gonna even bother tinting the z, i can do without the headaches. i have a handfull of tint tickets from the G.

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.

So do u guys think I'd b good with a 40% all around tint?

i had tint on my other car and in the town i live in, in NJ and the cops are is the worst. seriously. i would drive around all over NJ all day but as soon as i got back into the town where i live i would have to roll the windows down. sucks. eventually took them off.
