Window Tint??

[cobravenom99]

Hey i want to get my windows tinted, i want them pretty dark, but i was reading other threads and alot of people wer complaining that they got thers too dark and it sucks to drive at night. I want it dark enough, but i still wanna be able to out my back window and dont want to have a hard time driving at night. Any Suggestions on what level to get??? I live in jersey and i dont know whats legal, but it doesnt bother me if its not legal.

I've got 5% all the way around and I can't see sh*t at night, I think 30% is probably light enough to be able to drive at night.

25% - 30% will give you some visibility.

hey 32v FI cobra what level tint is your black cobra in your picture?

 

[mustangman36578]

a good combo for if you want it to look dark but still see out of it would be 25% on the fronts and 15% on the back. to get an idea of the darkness the stock tint for SUVs on the rear windows is 17% and you can still see for the most part out of the rear window and it looks better than going with 25% or 30% all around.

It's been a couple of years since I had it done but I think it is 25%

20% all the way around ...

20% all the way around ...

That's a good combo. 20 is illegal in Missouri on the front doors, but I know people with it who have not been flagged for it.

In Illinois land of Osama you can have 0% on the roll ups. I am still going to do it soon. I have tinted windows on all my cars, I have on every car I have owned.
I just for some reason haven't blacked out the Cobra yet. I say go for it Limo 360 D.

New Jersey Tint Law:
http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/NJ/ NO tint on the front side windows, any tint on the back window and rear side windows.

In spite of what you say here Illinois law is the same as New Jersey. NO tint on the front roll ups. anything on the rear quarters and back.

I was unable to find any website stating anything different for illinois

That is what I said no tint on front rolls anything you want on quarters and back glass. You also can not put a brow on the front windshield.
EDIT: Unless you have a serious eye condition and you have to get a special plate. Trust me I know my state's tint law as I have talked to many officers on this issue.

Not to pick nits too badly but your wording sucked :dw: when talking about tint in a percentage you are talking about the amount of light transmittance. So your saying 0% means limo tint not no tint.

Okay you got me on that one I was saying 0% as in ZERO-NONE.

Ohhhhh.... well, if a cop told you, then it must be true. Cops rarely know what they're talking about. If you wanna know what the law says, read it. Don't ask a cop.

I looked the laws up on the interweb. And Illinois State Troopers know the Law trust me.

u think it will look stupid if the back windows are darker than the fronts?

 

[01yellercobra]

I have 5% on the back three windows and 15% on the front side windows. I can see fine even at night. But that could be because I live in California and have street lights every 5 feet.

 

[01SVTSnake]

another +1 to 20% all around. I have it and its not bad at night. Never been tagged in PA for it even though the limit is 65%:dw:

Not really...seen it done on a ton of cars. Makes the fronts appear darker.
