Default How dark is your tint?

I currently have 25% on the front and 5% on the back, but i'm wanting to go with 5% on the front too..i'm just worried about getting stopped for it.

So has anyone ever gotten stopped just for their tint? If so, how much was the ticket?

I got stopped when I lived in Ohio and had my ranger got ticket for tint and no seatbelt. The funny thing is tint cost more than the seat belt. Well not funny when I ha to pay it. I don't recall the exact amine but I do believe it was I've 120. Right now u got the max I can go in Texas on the sides. I think it's 30 I think. Ad the back I have so dark u can barley see outta of it in day lolol.

I have 25% all the way around. I'm thinking of taking it off and having 5% put on all of them

My back windows were already tinted when I bought so not sure on those. But I have 15% on my front two and a 5% eyebrow on the windshield. Just roll your windows down when you get pulled over.

I have limo tint all the way around (Screw). Knock on wood but I haven't been pulled over yet. HOWEVER I have been pulled over on all my other cars I've had in the past (G35, Mustang, and Camaro). I was pulled over once in my truck when I had about 25% on the fronts.

I think it's a hit or miss and area dependant on whether or not you get pulled over.

And limo tint is difficult to see at night (especially if trying to reverse into a spot or parallel park)

Had limo tint when I first got the truck and got pulled over twice, once cruzing and another on the interstate coming back four wheeling, and the second time I just got a notice to correct that an officer had to sign off on tint strip, all 4 and back windows and illegal exhaust. Where I live they don’t have tint readers so I showed them just the 4 side window tint I took off and they signed off on it all...idiots. Now I have limo still on the back and front strip and 20% on the sides.
