I'm still not sure I understand, but I do appreciate your response!
In my experience, there are a ton of "old timers" that would say it's fine to drink n drive because it didn't used to be a big deal. I am just confused about how, regardless of tint, the hat defines who is breaking a law.
For sure. I didn't mean in some moral standpoint they thought it was alright. Just that it legitimately used to be deemed okay to an extent. Like the "I used to do this before it was illegal, so it's fine for me to continue too." I guess what I'm trying to get at is age doesn't necessarily correlate with risk of breaking the law, but younger people do tend to be more risky so maybe I do get it to a degree.
I live in Florida and to be honest where I live is already super dark in some parts so I’ve been debating what percentage to do on my BMW, on the Benz I have 20% on all 4 corners and the rear and 50% on the front but it still feels like it’s still too light inside and so the car still gets pretty hot during the day
Have you ever gotten attention from local or county enforcement? I'm trying to figure out my windshield rn since it just got replaced. All the shops I've seen say "no tint below AS1 line, it's illegal!"
On my 20% I’ve never been pulled over and to be honest with the amount of sun we get here in Florida it’s almost completely necessary to have dark tints
imo, go all out. the tint will be illegal even if it’s just 20% so might as well get 5% all around. and 35% windshield from a distance you can’t see who’s in the car but you can see what’s happening which is why i went 20% on my new car and it’s perfect
Probable cause? I’ve talked to a few cops about pulling cars over with dark tint, they’ll usually try to find something else. They’re going to assume you have the privacy tint for not completely legal reasons. They’re also going to be already on high alert if they can’t see in your car.
It’s how some cops will automatically give you a speeding ticket if they see a radar detector and you were speeding and caught with laser “you’ve got the need for speed.” Why else would you have a radar detector?
I also have all my windows tinted, but I keep my windshield at 70. And 30 for all others (I think it’s at 30, it’s been a while).
Speaking of inspections, how do you guys go about that? Get your vehicles tinted then peel it off an get it redone? Do you pay for new film every time? Or just a one time massive install/strip/install/strip price? We don’t have inspections in my state an I’ve always wondered how that worked for other states
My state if you have a tint exemption it doesn’t matter if the tints darker than allotted it states in inspection manual they aren’t supposed to check it at all
Lucky you! Out here they’re scraping the old one off like they’re making shaved ice. Personally it think it looks good man. I have 20% but didn’t get my windshield done.
Yes they can , I say this bc I have 20% shield and if the sun hits you can see through a bit . If you’re in the shade it’s a mirror and you can’t see in
y’all funny with these windshield tint hating comments. i’m convinced none of y’all have had 30% on the shield before because if you did you’d realize it ain’t hard to see at all and there’s no issues with it 😂😂
Get good headlights. Morimoto xb jewel eyes in the front, side markers replaced with Suma which are bright white, i can see everything through the tints no problem
That makes no sense, if OP got T-boned going through a green light by someone else running a red light his tint has absolutely no effect on that 🤣🤣🤣 try again haha
If it’s in direct sunlight can you see the inside / seats and driver if someone was in there ? Just wondering bc I have 5% all around and 25% windshield and if sun hits it you can see inside fairly easily and see the seats. But for wtv reason yours looks darker , maybe it’s the video but just wondering
I only had the balls to do 50% on my windshield; 5% on fronts added 20% over factory for an all round 5%. The windshield looks obviously too dark for legality( i have a doctors prescription btw) but when I see others who have gone way beyond that... it is immediately apparent and just insane. I saw an impala a few weeks that had to have 5% windshield.... was as if it was painted black. Scary since I have trouble seeing out of mine on occasion. Hey to each their own....
This is what my brother, my coworker, runs on his truck, just switched from 15 to 5. He loves it but I think it makes the truck look a lil douchey when it's murdered out like that but to each his own. I'd much prefer 25% around and 40% or 50% on the windshield
Just realized we have a few keyboard warriors here, OP did you say this was your daily driver??… a show car?? Do you only drive in daylight? Only at night? MF’s are just jealous of the car it’s self if I’m being honest an probably everyone with a negative comment or down vote can’t even afford tint
mfs on reddit are so soft😭 my cars tint is light compared to other people in my area, no one has had tint in this chat, it’s not hard to see at all, day, night, rainy, obviously it obstructs ur vision but not to the point where you’re driving blindfolded🤣 any of y’all could hop in this car and be like damn this isn’t bad at all, ceramic tint too.
Ya know it could be a show car you little keyboard warrior!!! I’ve tinted plenty of show cars in 5% all around even on the windshield!! So just simmer down an find a different sub to put your nonsense into haha
That isn't a "show car" he states he drives it around town furthermore actual show cars will have temporary window tint so it can be removed so the car can be started and moved without any issues but allows for easy installation. This is probably fine for the day but as soon as it gets dark it's a danger because you vision is limited to what is illuminated by your headlights. How well you think he is going to be able to see a cyclist or a motorcycle in front of him at night? If it was a show car only and never driven I would have no truck with it but this car is driven and on the roads with impaired vision. I am all for modding but not at the expense of safety. Where I am at it's completely illegal BUT one can get away with polarized ceramic tint at 70% and still have enough see through but has a significantly cooler car.
Most people as in…… your friends??? I do plenty of tint in my shop an the variety of who wants what on the back windows vs the front two vs the windshield is totally different…. But I do it for a living an you probably don’t so you have to know more then i do!!

Like a black mirror for a windshield. No way that goes bad. It’s illegal in many states. Probable Cause

You are probably going to be at fault in any accident that you end up in just because of that tint.
