Hey DA-Max do you live in MD? If so what part of MD. That 35% law is a *****. Cops dont ever bother me though. Good thing or I would have to change basically everything on the car!

Damn I live in st. mary's county. Cops around here dont seem to care much. I get kinda scared when I have to drive up in Baltimore and DC. Besides all the pot holes the cops are a *****.

hey john, i thought you already had tint. did you tint over it or take it off? i swear i thought you said you had tint, maybe not though

You guys should move to FL. When I was stationed there you could drive around with limo tint and a state trooper could be right next to you and he wouldn't even give a second glance. I don't know if they have tint laws but if they stop you for something else and the cop wants to be an *** he probably could cite you for illegal tint. Luckily, FL has no state inspection.. WOO HOO.. Sux because I live in VA now and they are so strict about tint that it's not even worth tinting your windows.

Got a question for all you tinters.
I live in MA and the law here is 35%.
I see cars with much darker tints driving around with no problems and never get pulled over. If I get a tint of 25% does this mean that I won't pass inspection? or does this mean that I might get pulled over and ticketed? Which one?
Because if all I have to fear is getting pulled over, then I am not really affraid of that but if I won't pass inspection then my windows are staying at 35%.
I really want to get 25% tint all around and 35% tint in the front.

I'm not sure about your laws, but there are websites out there that have tinting laws for all stats on them. just do a search. in iowa you can have all your back windows painted black if you want. front is really light though something like 80%. but this cop tested my friends mazda and his little tester said they were 35% and really his windows are way darker, like 20%

I'm thinking I'm gonna go 5% on my back windows and 20% on the front

i live in st. louis, missouri and on my ranger, i have 5% tint on the rear window, and on the side extended-cab windows. I did it myself, from autozone and it looks real good. I have been pulled over probably 3 times since then but never for the tint, and the cop never said anything. I also have a phat 5% sunstrip on the front, never got a ticket for any of it.

In NYC, i think the legal % for tint is likee 70!!!!!!! thats like stock tint! holy sh*t. Thats the main reason I haven't gotten tint yet. My friend did his Camry and got a 5% in the back, and 35% side, I like the back, but the 35% on side isn't really that dark, in daytime especially. When I get the spare $ for tint I'll go for 20% on sides, something like 5-10% in the back.
go to http://www.tintdude.com u can find the state laws on tint there.

About the inspection, I know most people pass them with dark tint because they know the mechanics there or give them extra 20$ or so, and they'll pass you.

Legaly your car wont pass inspection if the car is tintes too dark. There are tons of ways of getting around it though. I know here in MD there are people who are certified to give inspections and they will pass your car as lond as you have 4 wheels. It shouldnt be hard to find a guy that will inspect it. A lot of times those guys that are like that are cheaper too. Just go to a performance shop and ask if they know anyone. Most likelt they would be the guys to know about that.

I live in WA state & I have my tint at 20% all around..no
cops ever stop me for that. I used to have a 76 monte carlo with 5% limo tint all around...never got stopped once for it. cops usually won't go to the trouble to pull you over just for tint.

My freind had 25% tint and the cops made him peel it off in front of them. He was pissed.

damn thats not right. they shouldnt be able to make him peel it off in front of them ****
