Limoed, I don't drive on the street any more.

[StangRacer]

None........yet.

[BigWheelinBubba]

Ask GTrackd about the trouble his tint got him in ;)

[silverknight]

i have 5% in the rear 1/2, and 23% on the front 2, and a 5% 5" strip on the windsheild and havent gotten anything for it. i occasionally hear of other people getting shit for tint, but it depends on which area ur at i guess.

Yeah, That was BS.... I am not taking it off either....
I drive by state cops all the time and they never pull me over.....
You know those guys pull anyone with tint over...lol
That grosse point cop knew he had a nice shot of catchin someone when he pulled me over for the windows... c'mon loud car, tinted windows, 3 am... add it up..lol
I have been pulled over about 4 or 5 times with that tint on the car and NEVER once did I even get harrased for it......

BTW 17.5% on everything but the windshield

So are you sayin I should'nt have been doing donuts in the middle of mack ave.?

[Joe5.0]

5% rear window, 20% sides, 50% full windhshield. Mustang is getting 35% on the sides, 5% rear windows, and 50% windshield once it warms up.

Nahh they wouldn't have looked at you :lol:

[bigslim]

23% on the two back side and rear windows and 35% on the drivers and passenger doors. I have pulled over twice for having it.

[DETROIT_MUSCLE]

so pretty much from what everyone is saying any tint would get me pulled over, lol.

State cops, yes. Locals, maybe. Are you a gambler? :lol:

[silverknight]

just got pulled yesturday on 275 south tword 94. doin speed limit and he was drivng on the other side of 275 in a yukon. went into a turn around. i was watching my mirror.. was like 1/2 miles back and slowly inched up to me. i was about to get onto 94 when i see his dome light go on. so i pull over. stop the car, roll down all my windows. he tells me he pulled me over for my tint. i explained about my eye and how i have a doctors appt next month. he ran my liscence and registration, came back and told me to have a good day. he was a younger guy.
funny part is the front windows on his yukon where tinted.

[Forward Motion]

not that we like doing it but we just tinted a 02 mustang for an officer BTW our Limo film is a total of 3% when combined with the OEM tint in glass. but nonetheless 3% All around 20% on the whole front shield. Yea id say its a good thing hes got a badge. personally i've gotten tired of the darker shades of tint for a couple of reasons.

- one, it tends to make people want to look inside because they Know your hiding something... I.E. audio, performance parts, expensive gauges, tools...ect ect...
- two, has a tendacy to draw in more heat with the darker shades. lighter tint shades seem to be more reflective and direct heat away...

i've removed all the darker shades. My 95 Escort has 30% all around with 50% on the front whole shield. 92 Civic has a 40% bronze tint all around with a 50% on the shield. And our 05 Scion xB is rolling with a 40% on the front doors and factory privacy glass on the rear which is about a 27%. Shields getting replaced so i havent done it but will also recieve the 40% bronze treatment. Toyota glass tends to show more of a bronze look than charcol. After tinting windows for about 12 yrs now, eventually aesthetics play more roll than privacy.

[ProJect83]

ok i gotta question. Is getting the shield tinted even allowed in Mi? i always thought it wasnt. Also..im not into the really dark stuff, makes it harder to see out of at nite..and that i cant stand

I though just factory tint was allowed on the windshield in Michigan.

[ProJect83]

hmm..i wonder would know for sure. Maybe i'll call the ploice station and ask them...

From what i've always heard and read..any back windows you can have as dark as you want. then the front two you are only allowed a 4'' piece and nothing on the windshield..anyone ?

[GTrackd]

Im pretty sure the windshield can have a strip at the top, and thats it....
Thats about as specific as i can get...lol
as for the front 2 windows, I know they can be tinted down to a point i just cant rememer how far down....

My tint job and exhaust sound cost me $3000 so think about it...lol
the cop told me he never woulda pulled me over if the car didnt have tinted windows..
I got the tint ticket dropped..lol Isnt Grosse Point Woods nice? too bad I got stuck with and OWVI instead..... But at least it keeps me off the road when i drink now.... oh and i still have the tint on the front windows. :)

You can have a 3" strip at the top of the windshield and that's it.

[Crazzy_Al]

And no more than 4" of tint at the very top of your front windows (driver and passenger doors) Screw the law, just tint the bitch and be on the constant look out for cops. When you see them, roll the windows down. Even in the rain and when it's snowing.

[ProJect83]

lol...yea well its not that easy to roll down your windshield..although that would be different lol

[Crazzy_Al]

They seldom even notice the windshield. On my last vehicle (1998 Explorer) I had the entire windshield done in 15%, the driver and passenger windows in 5% (limo) and all the windows behind the passenger and driver done in 5% plus the factory tint that was manufactured into the glass. As soon as I have the money to do so, I having the Cobra stripped and done in limo tint from the driver and passenger back, and 15% on the windshield. I have a prescription from a doctor. :D

LOL wanna make some copies :D

[Crazzy_Al]

No. Sorry. It has my name on it.

[StangRacer]

Thats easy to doctor up and change.

[Crazzy_Al]

Thats easy to doctor up and change.

But I wouldn't do that to the doctor who gave it to me. Sorry.

[ProJect83]

haha...hey i understand..its just not nice..

Just wondering though..how did the explore look with the windshield tinted? was it too dark to look out of? what about at nite?

[Strtracer]

So are you sayin I should'nt have been doing donuts in the middle of mack ave.?

That depends on the type of donuts. Glazed wont get ya pulled over, but jelly filled might.

[Strtracer]

But I wouldn't do that to the doctor who gave it to me. Sorry.

Perscriptions are printed on special paper anyway, they have watermarks to verify authenticity.

I had good aftermarket bulbs on the X, but I did have to concentrate a bit more when it rained at night. I won't have that problem with the Cobra. I dont drive it in the rain. :D Here's how the truck looked from the outside...

I think that with a tinted windshield it would be kinda difficult to see ish and you'd most likely get popped more easily by the 5.0 for it, if you want to tint it I suggest just going with a strip

[BigWheelinBubba]

Suuuure....keep telling yourself that.. we know the truth ;)

[Crazzy_Al]

2 times, 2 damn times I got caught in the rain and both times the car got a full once over. Including an undercarriage detail to shine up any spots that rain water might have hit. :D

Yeah, she was just a little boogie, then. I miss those days but I can't afford another child right now, even though my wife and I want another. :(

I loved that truck, it was bad ass and there wasn't another one on the road like it.

i wouldnt strip is really pointless if ur going for looks its doesnt look good at all u need to tint all or nothing my bro has a 2001 gt 5% on all windows except windshield and he has 15 on windshield he hasnt had many prob one cop said those are to dark and he said alright and the cop just left

[montemadness04]

23% on the two back side and rear windows and 35% on the drivers and passenger doors. I have pulled over twice for having it.


u sure that one time was reallly for the tint?????? i mean doin a burnout 2 lanes over from a cop really attracts some attention!! :D
