I want to get mine tinted to 35%, which is legal in MD, but I routinely drive in PA and New England (VT, NY) during the winter, when I couldn't have my windows down, so what would the deal be then? If my car is registered in MD, where 35% all around and a 5 inch limo visor would be legal, could they ticket me in PA for having it twice as dark as "legal?" I mean, I plan on going to college in NY (50% legal), and I don't need to spend $100-200 on a nice professional tinting only to have to remove it after a $100+ ticket.

Wolfninja, thanks for the Minnesota updates. I live in Minneapolis and called tinting shops around town. Lots of them aren't tinting anymore cuz they said so many customers are coming back and having to get their tint removed. 50% isn't worth it anyway. Sucks! Love the tint, but I'm not givin the PO-PO a reason to pull me over either.

Can I really tint my GC %70 legally here in NY???
| ScoobyAntics | 07-07-2005 08:55 AM |
Is there a special tint type that I can get that wont give me problems with opening my windows? or is it just chance that the windows will be slow :confused:
| supjay | 07-19-2005 12:31 PM |
how come NY & NJ 's legal tint are so different?? 70% to none?? doens't make any sense...i wish i could do it
| tantrum | 07-19-2005 02:39 PM |
I have gotten many exhaust tickets and the only way you can get out of it is to go to a police station to get ur dp measured. So not ALL exhaust are illegal because the wrx from the montery park police dept has a engine exhaust on it

typically, if you're travelling out of state, the police will give you some leniency...it's kind of bad business(for lack of a better word) to ticket you for something when you are within compliance in your home state...my brother had a honda way back in the day, when he was stationed in NC, and had the windows tinted at 20%...the car was registered in VA, so the only time he had any issues was when he was back home visiting family here...
also on the same topic...i actually got tagged by VA state police this morning...pulled over by a cute little state trooper, and ticketed for illegal tint...i've got 20% all the way around, and the visor comes down to about the rear view mirror...she even told me that state laws were 75% on the driver and passenger windows.....any ideas on if the state laws have changed on it?...or was she just "misinformed"?

Maybe a newb question...what is the % level reference. Is a "20%" really light or really dark?
| MD04WRX | 08-06-2005 04:50 PM |
The lower the number the darker the tint.
FYI - just got mine done today. Maryland is 35% which is correct on the list, however most cars already have some tint from the factory. According to the shop that did mine I had 41% installed. That with the factory tint equals the 35% allowed in MD.

It was just what you said about the front three windows you could have any tint... but it could only come down 4"... which looks rediculous in my opinion and the back three can have anything.
I think i'm just going to go for a light tinting all the way around and hope i don't get pulled over.[/QUOTE]
Im getting mine done tomorrow, no way am I doing 4" down, that would look pretty sad...I havent seen many cars tinted like that even if it is the law.

Yeah, I had mine done at 35% all-around a couple weeks ago, and its not as dark as I expected. I see tons of cars driving around with limo (5%) tint so the cops must not really care around here. The place that I had it done at told me that installing 35% would make it read about 30% when combined with factory dye, so I guess thats fine...if I were doing it over again I'd just go 20% all around though.

I live in Colorado, it seems there are two diferent ones. Which is correct? I HEAR that the back sides and rear have no limit, and none is allowed on the front.
Anyone who lives in Colorado or knows the law care to enlighten me?

I have mine at 35% all around and hate it... should have gotten darker!
Question. Can I go to another tint shop to have them put on another layer of tint on top of the 35% that the other shop put on? Say a 20%?
How would that work. a 35% plus 20%..? how dark would that be?
Thanks,

I have a prescription from my dermatologist that states that I can have illegal window tint because of my skin. Georgia state law allows this and also permits other persons vehicles which I am a "habitual occupant of.." to have the tint as well. Sweeet

I can go as dark as I want in the rear ones. I wish we could at least put something on the 2 front doors. I would probably do 20% on them.
| NWA ARJ | 10-20-2005 06:04 PM |
In North Dakota you can have the back as dark as you want it. In the front you can not legally tint it. I have 20 % on my WRX and so does my brother and we both dont get hassled by the cops most of the time.
| REVNU | 10-20-2005 08:06 PM |
I run 50% all the way around on my WRX. It's not dark, but that's not what I got it for. I don't care for dark tint on light colored cars, especially 2 different shades of tint on the front and rear. I mainly got it because it gets hotter than hell in SoCal and even with 50% it helps a lot.
Even 50% over here is ILLEGAL (70% front is legal, limo back/rear is legal), but I haven't been hassled yet and probably won't be unless I get pulled over for something else and they just need to "stick me" with something...

I run 50% charcoal on the windshield
28% solargard quantum metallic on the driver and passenger
19% solargard quantum metallic on the rears
Windshield is almost invisible and make a huge difference at sunset and sunrise, or when hi-beams hit you at night.
Yes, my tint on fronts is illegal, but man it makes such a difference that I'll risk the fixit ticket. I've actually been pulled over and the Sheriff didnt say anything about my tints.
Another tip is to have your tint "filed" down at the edges so there is no defining line at the top of the window.
Cheers, Ted

Update for Michiganders. Now tinted window violations are again under the "defective equipment" section of the motor vehicle code. What this means is that you get (at least in our court) 10 days to correct the violation, have any polilce officer sign the back of your ticket, and return it to the court. The ticket won't actually be dismissed, but the fines and costs will be waived. This is fine because the ticket isn't reported to the state like a no proof of insurance ticket will be, even if you show proof within 10 days. Dick

Michigan is wrong
Front is illegal except for top 4". which can be any darkness, but not reflective.
Same for windshield.
Rear sides and rear can be any.
So please change to
No, Any, Any, 4" More correctly, ( 4" Any, Any, 4" ) but that might not make sense.

Alright, sorry for bringing back a (somewhat) dead thread, but I just couldn't find a definite answer in these posts...
I live (and my WRX is registered) in Connecticut, where 35% all around is legal. I'm going to be going to college in upstate NY, where you can't run anything darker than 70%. Would I be able to get away with 35's because that's the law for the state the car is registered in?

Yes. Your car is legal in the state it's registered in. Out of State cops cant do anything.
But, they will get annoyed and find any reason whatsoever to pull you over and give you a ticket.

This is not an advocate to get illegal tint.
I been running 5 % all the way around for about 6 years and have gone from CO, to OH, to NC. Never had too much problem in CO except once in a little town on the 4th of July I rolled my windows down when pulled over and the cop had me roll them up and put this little digital meter that kinda looked like a stamp on the window. He gave me a warning and said if he saw me again he would ticket.(kinda funny though his meter said 6.5% and I paid for 5%, guess those meters are pretty precise). When in Ohio I was almost never hassled but did in fact get a ticket one day from a very board sheriff again in a tiny town. I had the front strip and ds and ps windows removed completely 40$, and went to court and they dismissed the ticket with like 15$ court fees. I left the front windows off for quite some time and was never bothered even though you are not allowed 5% on any windows in OH. Have had no incidents in NC with 5% so far Knock on wood.

[quote=Kean;8054066]I'm not trying to bash on you, but I'm curious where you got this info from? Officers have never been required to carry db meters from what I remember. It's always been up to their discretion. What currently happens (from what I understand) is that you have to go to a "referee" station of sorts to have the exhaust tested for excessive noise (after receiving the ticket). Hopefully someone who has been in this situation could clarify this.
In some cases I feel these tickets can be unfair. ......guilty until proven innocent.[/quote]
I just moved out of California and have a scrapbook of encounters with Jonny Law. I have been cited for dB infractions w/ exhausts and the officers have and have not had a decible meter. 1 time that they did, it was 4am in a residential and they asked me to hold my rpms at 6k for 30 sec....this is on a JDM built B16 so Vtec switch over was singing. Obviously I was cited but fought it due to the circumstances (rpms so high, some motors dont even go to 6k, him standing right at my trunk, the duration ect ect) and was informed that it was up to the officers discretion. However there are laws stating that they have to use a dB meter at X amount of feet away for t amount of T but California law has so many loop holes and back doors that its basically one sided. Just like the car heigth rules ie...22 1/2 inch from center of headlight or lowest part of the body cant go past the lowest part of the rim, or you cant have a modified exaust but you can have an aftermarket installed at a dealership but still be cited when you prove C.A.R.B. exemption. That's why I got outta L.A. they turned it into a real profitable business passing out infraction after infraction.
Back on track, even if you do get cited, sometimes you only have to take the citation and your vehicle to the sherrif, CHP or local oinkers and show the proof of correction and have it signed off. Sometimes I believe if a CHP cites you then you have to go to a test only facility, usually at the CHP station. Atleast thats how it was for mine in Santa Barbara.

Oregon Tint Update?

So the first thing I did when I got my car back in 07 was get what I was told was a legal tint on my STi. I got 35% on all windows except the rear window which I put 20% on. I was given a certificate and everything from the place that did it and it looks really great.
Anyway about a year later I got pulled over in Corvallis buy the infamous CPD (if you're familiar with the area, you know...). The guy pulled me over for my tint, did the meter reading on all my windows and told me he pulled me over for my back window looking too dark. So I showed him the document, told him that when I got my tint, I was assured it was legal to have 20% in the rear. I also told him that if I wanted to go darker all around, they would have done it but wouldn't have gave me the document I was showing him.
He ended up letting me go but told me I should get it replaced with 35% as only trucks/suvs can have darker than 35%. He also told me its always been like that and ended up commending me for actually having the document since I was the first car he pulled over that actually had it with me (which I guess you're legally required to keep it in the car, according to him).
So summary since this ended up being longer than anticipated:
:D Got 35% tint on all side windows, 20% rear.
:( Pulled over for too dark in rear, but let go.
:huh: Told only trucks/suvs are allowed darker than 35% in rear.
:unamused: Also told you legally need the document you get with your tint in your car.
So anyone know the real law regarding this in Oregon?

I'm trying to understand these stupid PA laws and from what I understand all the PA cops have been led to believe that 70% is the limit, although by the technical definition of the law there is no limit.
I found this: [url]http://www.berksweb.com/users/dmv/tint/[/url] which analyzed the statutes and regulations to show anything was legal as long as you can see in the car. Nevertheless, it seems plenty of people under 70% are having problems.
My black wagon would look awesome with tint but ugh I don't want to argue with a cop or a court...
