here is my 20% rear, 35% front.

Kincaid

Check sig for pics. 35% in the two fronts. 15% around back.

And the law here says no tint on front windows as well. No hassle.

35% is easy enough to see a good shape through. Most cops shouldn't give you a problem with it though.

In Ontario you are allowed 35% on the front passenger and driver windows, and as dark on the back as you want to go. The only glass you are not allowed to do is the windshield.

Just remember that you might have to back up at night sometime.

Legal tint in NY is NO TINT AT ALL ANYWHERE!

Legal schmegal - I've had my 20% for at least 6 months without any hassle whatsoever (I'm on Long Island, boricua).

I'd say go 35% if you're worried - it's not dark at all.

I got my info from this website, last updated in May 2002: http://www.pcisys.net/~bpc/auto_law/tint/

and here's the text of the NYS laws regarding tint: http://www.pcisys.net/~bpc/auto_law/tint/tint_ny.txt

Whatever. Some laws are so ridiculous, even the cops won't enforce 'em.

I agree man - I was under the impression that SOME tint was legal - I thought it was nothing on the fronts, but no limit on the rear sides and rear. That's the way it USED to be - you could tint the rear with plywood if you wanted

Leave it to NY man - I mean, they let dual-wheel pickups on the Grand Central and the Belt, but they gotta take away ALL tint. ******* nuts.

Like I said though - I get no hassle at all. And it's not just me - you know you see the guys with total mirror tint, the "shaded" mirror stuff and all that other bling-bling every damn day - I know I do. I went for the dark rather than mirror - less "flashy".

I've said before that if I get one ticket a year for it, and it's not a very expensive ticket or a moving violation with points, it's probably worth it. As long as it's just a "pay it or fix it" thing, I'll pay 'em. But luckily, none yet.

Oh, and my wife has 20% on her Jeep, and she gets no hassle either. I don't think cops care too much about it - especially if you stay away from the mirrored, ricey look.

You guys are lucky with having tint on front windows.
in Vancovuer,BC no tint is allowed on fronts unless you have some doctors note regarding front tint..special permit..

but cops have pulled over cars for tint.. then get their cars inpected for other parts, muffler dB, too low, possibly get towed...

on top of that.. if its just tint.. they might scratch it themselves.. and/or give a ticket..

yea well i really don't give a crap about the laws in NY. i'm puttin on some 35% joints on mine. its a stupid law, not allowing any kind of tint.
