Unlimited on rear and back side doors. No tint on the front doors or the windshield. it's kind of funny. You can have 5% on the rear and nothing at all on the front. Looks dumb.

i run mine 20% all the way around and it looks real nice, i dont get any hassle from the cops either.

thats cause your allowed 25%....

i got 25. but i had to sign a waiver saying i knew it was illegal.

The listings for Oregon are wrong. The front doors are 35% but it is unlimited on the rest. I have 35% and 5%. In the right light it can look odd, but most of the time it looks nice on my white gt wagon.

Actually Oregon like many other states considers wagons as SUV's with respect to tint laws. Only the front windows are limited to 35%.
Tint laws are for the most part ignored here in Texas, I have been tinting for years and have yet to have a personal vehicle that was anything close to legal and no tickets yet. I have tinted the entire windshield on several of my cars and still no tickets...

NC's is wrong from the SUV standpoint. Wagons are considered cars here though, so 35% all around. I forget what SUV's rears are... 20% maybe?
| squeech | 11-08-2004 02:25 PM |
Like the list states, CO is 27% and I run 20% without any hassle. My G/F got pulled over for her license plates though, and the cop was suspicious so he checked and she had to pull her 20% off...meh
Although a stupid idea, technically you can tint the windshield to 80% in CO (despite the fact that clear glass diffuses to about 83%, so that's basically a clear bra, but technically...it's on the books) :D

In Maine I am not quite sure what the legal limit is and I dont think that chart is correct. I have 20% tint all around. Its pretty dark but it wont pass inspection. Maine Has some pretty ****ed up laws around here. Concerning the tint issue many vehicles come from the factory with very dark tint in the rear windows, much darker than mine and because it is "factory tint" its legal.
| AlbanianImpreza | 11-08-2004 06:44 PM |
why cant ppl jus lower their windows if they get pulled over, whats so hard, but idk not having any on the front is nuts it looks completely wrong, i think i might just get 5% all around.

I've seen friends do this and they were asked to roll up their windows partially so they could verify. Besides, more often than not, the officer has already seen the tint before he pulls you over.
| reaubideux | 11-08-2004 08:09 PM |
I would think that a cop can't ticket you for illegal tint unless they have a device used to test the light transmission of the tint. Obviously if local law states you can't have any tint on your window and you've got something noticeable like 35% or darker then you wouldn't need such a device. Sorry if it sounds naive but its the reason cops use radar guns; they need to be able to objectively prove that you were speeding. One of my friend's neighbors is a local city cop and I've asked him about illegal tint. He said he's never stopped anyone for it but will ticket them if they're stopped for something else and its obvious they're too dark - which around here means 5% or so. His personal rule was as long as he can see the occupants then he won't say anything.
Reminds me of some stories I'd read (and taken w/a grain of salt) about cops in CA that would pull people over and ticket them for loud exhausts but didn't have any devices capable of measuring the actual dB level of the exhaust. Not sure if that's true or not though.

In California the law was recently changed so the LEO only had to say that the exhaust was loud. It's illegal in CA to modify the exhaust to make it louder. That's not part of the whole CARB BS, but it's part of the Calif V.C. :furious: Used to be they had to have a sound level meter (db meter...) and it was 95db at 50', but now it's left up to the LEO's discretion.

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.

I have no idea what is legal in Louisiana. I run 15% on the doors and 5% on the back. I have never had a problem with the cops about it. Down here all the cops carry the little meters to test your tint.

Actually it's a federal restriction on modifying the exhaust. Motorcycles come with an engraved plate on the frame near the muffler that tells you so.

Thanks
Thanks
| VR4Impreza | 02-17-2005 11:36 PM |
I am fairly certain WV is 35% up front with a strip on the windsheild. However my tint shop said the local law was anything goes behind you so long as you have two mirrors. (no different from driving a box truck in terms of vision) as for me I have 15% all around with no problems. I got pulled over in MD for speeding and the cop didn't mention the tint (not sure if he could have I have WV plates) I know the guy so he tinted mine illegal, but 35% is legal up front.
| Bonjo2 | 02-21-2005 10:31 PM |
I've got 65% titanium on all the rears and limo on the 6" visor area and have nad no problems at all--except for backing up at night.. The shop advised me of the law, but also said that wihtout the fronts it would look O.K. and not attrack any attention. I highly rec for any wagon or sedan. I didn't do the fronts due to past exp w/tint and rolling the windows down and having god-aweful scratch marks.. Rear's glass unplugged.
Another option is 35% on all rear and visor, and 15% on driver/passenger.
Or... Chips chrome lenses like the Africa rally car's

Still true, however, there is a bill expected to be approved by the state legislature in the next few months that will restrict tint back to 32%, for both residents and nonresidents. Nonresidents used to be exempt.... soon, if you're going from SC to FL with 5% tint, you can get a ticket for it, even if you don't live in GA. Fun right? GSP is big on it.
I personally have very mixed feelings about tint laws.... I love having dark windows to keep the sun out and keep random people from staring into my car, but on the other hand it directly affects me because it's a hazard of my job. *sigh*

I was thinking about doing this here in Michigan as well and was going to post that it was different from what the original post said... i actually called the state police to see what they said...
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.

Michigan Nothing on driver/passenger doors except 4" down from top. Same with windshield. 35% rear and back window. Actually you can black out your back window in Michigan if you have both right and left side mirrors. Most cops aren't aware of the rear window law though. Also if you get an optomitrist to write a prescription, you can tint all your windows to 35%. Plan on getting stopped often, but tickets won't stick.
| drivin blind | 03-12-2005 07:36 PM |
Don't know about other states but Michigan also clips you 2 points on your license for "illegal tint"
| Siper2 | 03-16-2005 01:57 PM |
Since when is NH 35%? AFAIK they were always like 65% or so, and only on the rear door windows and rear windshield. The rest weren't allowed. (Lived there most of my life.)
PA at 70% all around sounds about right.... though nobody seems to be able to agree on it. This state is weird, and very dodgy about it.

I'm pretty sure that in CO legal limit is 35%. On my wagon i have 20% on all the four doors, and 5% in the back, rear window and smaller two side windows. My eyebrow is currently 20%, however, i'm getting a new windshield soon (if you live in CO, you replace these at least twice a year), and i plan to put 5% eye brow on then. No problems with the fuzz....yet. I don't think they pay that close attention, esp. in a wagon.

Very True... There have been arguements about this forever saying that the Law doesn't apply to LAO's enforcements it used to be something dealing with inspection.
I have 15% on the back and 30% in the front and have not had any trouble but I know many people around the pittsburgh area who have gotton pulled for tint.
Even some cops have scratched thier tint on purpose to make them take it off.

Very True... There have been arguements about this forever saying that the Law doesn't apply to LAO's enforcements it used to be something dealing with inspection.
I have 15% on the back and 30% in the front and have not had any trouble but I know many people around the pittsburgh area who have gotton pulled for tint.

I live in New York, but go to school in Connecticut. I got pulled over while driving in the backroads, the motherf*cker gave me a $136.00 ticket for illegal tints, they were at 17% I think. He said, "You better do something about them because everytime I see you, I'm gonna keep giving you tickets." They guy was a totall ass, He made me feel like I had killed someone all because my windows were tinted a little to dark! I also got pulled over in N.Y. for speeding and he was gonna hit me for a ticket for an "illegal exhaust, speeding, illegal tints," the only reason I got out of it was because my dad was a cop and somewhat of a local legend, so the cop let me go. It's killing me because I love the tints, but I can't keep getting tickets! :devil:

...by the way, you may want to refrain from dodging the swear filter. It's in the rules and the mods will come down on you if they catch you doing it.

I don't have any hostility towards the position, just the person. Basically, my whole family has been police officers, and in talking to all of them I learned one thing, you have to earn the respect of the people. showing that all you are is a power hungry mongrol only proves how insecure you are and will only make your reputation worse, especially in a city like Bridgeport, where there is so much crime, giving out tickets like that only makes people want to rebel more. Kinda get what I am saying?

Tim Geary[/QUOTE] I could understand your frustration if you were being harrassed for no reason. However, the bottom line is that you were being cited for violating the vehicle code and actually given a break in another instance (the officer's personality aside). Anyone who would take that experience and use it to justify their "rebelious" nature probably has an attitude problem to begin with. ...I'm not implying that person is you (just discussing your argument).

I understand where you are coming from. I guess the bottom line is that it comes down to the mood of the officer. Some officers have complimented me on my car.... lol, and others have harrassed me. But at the end of the day when I drive home and park her and stare at her the entire walk to the front door.... it's all worth it.

[QUOTE=kalbo_1]CA 0% winshield, 35% fronts/side, any% back-back/side. I do know people with tinted winshields![/QUOTE]
Incorrect. As stated earlier on the thread, it's illegal to have any sort of film on the front side windows and tinted/colored glass from the factory must transmit 88% or greater. Any windows behind the front side glass can be tinted any shade given the car has both side review mirrors.

I live in DC. Got my car inspected recently and they told me no tint was allowed at all. Made me take it off before they would pass me. No big deal because its cheap WalMart stuff I can put back on myself but still annoying.

Wow, you got that right.
[URL=http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/press/cons_advis/July02.cfm]This looks to be the "offiicial" state stance[/URL]. I suspect that if an officer so chose they could bust darker tints purely on the "risk to law enforcement" angle.
However the PA vehicle code itself does not specify any percentage, deferring instead in most cases to federal standards. This inconsistency generates [URL=http://www.pavehiclenews.com/windows.htm]some rather interesting responses[/URL].

what is the legal tint in RI i think the back windows and rear window are unlimited and the front windows have to allow 70% of light through. the winshield can only have a strip at the top. if you go to the optometrist and get a note then get a note on your liscence you can get unlimited. i have light sensitivity in my eyes and sometimes when its sunny out all i see is white for a few seconds.
| Wolfninja | 05-30-2005 07:37 PM |
I have around 4% the shop told me 5 but I've been gauged twice and I was told it's 3 then 4 so it all depends on the cop they told me that minnesota was 51% but when I check with minnesota statues it's 50% but abviously you have to allow for the error in their meters
I didn't get a ticket cause I hadn't changed my car over from georgia to Minnesota so there's nothing they can do
also for any other minnesotans out there when you change your exhaust the states new law states only it can not be of an excessive noise or make a crackling or popping noise there are no decibel levels set by the state so it's totally aguable in court

The staute on the Minnesota tint is 169.17
for anyone who cares
if you're curious about your state there's a site called ask a trooper which they'll send you a reply each one is specific to each state
you can ask anything regarding your laws in your state they give a good resonse as well as posting on the relevant laws to read through for your self
it's kind of fun to find the loop holes in the sytem

When I got my windows tinted at Tommy's here in Portland, I believe they told me that it was 35% which they issued me a certificate for.
| bluelinescooby | 06-04-2005 12:49 AM |
[QUOTE=bluelinescooby]Still true, however, there is a bill expected to be approved by the state legislature in the next few months that will restrict tint back to 32%, for both residents and nonresidents. Nonresidents used to be exempt.... soon, if you're going from SC to FL with 5% tint, you can get a ticket for it, even if you don't live in GA. Fun right? GSP is big on it.
I personally have very mixed feelings about tint laws.... I love having dark windows to keep the sun out and keep random people from staring into my car, but on the other hand it directly affects me because it's a hazard of my job. *sigh*[/QUOTE]
FYI, tint law is back into effect in GA as of June 1st. Limit is 32%, includes residents and nonresidents, and [I]will[/I] apply to those who had their windows tinted prior to the reintroduction of the law.
And as an aside, beginning in July, no vehicles (except law enforcement) will be allowed to have blue lights of any kind. This will include (but is not limited to) neon lighting, interior mood lighting, and those obnoxious little LED windshield washer lights. Enjoy :D

i thought CA allowed 70% on the front windows (not windshield)? does anyone have a picture of 70% on all windows except the windshield? thanks
| TanXP | 06-08-2005 04:50 PM |
:D :D :D I can run whatever I want. I have an eye problem that causes me to go to the opthamologist often and have my eyes dialated in the process. So I have a waiver allowing me any darkness for any car that I frequently ride in.
| -Kevlar- | 06-08-2005 11:16 PM |
SC is 27.5 all the way around (like .5 matters) unless you have a truck then the back can be as dark as you like. vans and suvs same way and on the sides, just not driver or passenger.
