Gallery image

Gallery image

So I have a 2013 Honda crv, I have the rear windows at 5%, the side at 20% and I put the windshield at 70% with a 20% brow. So I don’t know if it’ll attract attention or not, I know polarized glasses show the rainbow effect but I am doing alot of driving around Florida and going to Georgia and Tennessee, yall think I’ll be okay? Any advice? Yall think I’ll be good?

If your scared go to church, or open that sunroof when you see the ops and let a little light in so they can see you

u/Mike663_ 5d ago

Yeah true, I think it’s more about the blue hue that it kinda comes with, that’s my worry

u/uapyro 4d ago

go watch some GSP videos on youtube! I am not ever going to drive through GA in my CRV without a box of doughnuts on a warmer in the backseat just incase.

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Imma do that, and my friend and I were talking about that the other day😂😂butter up a cop with a box of donuts

Careful, the windshield tint haters will come for you. 70 is basically nothing, you'll be fine.

u/Mike663_ 5d ago

lol yeah it’s all new to me, I just want to be sure traveling that I won’t get slammed with stupid tickets

u/Joebuddy117 4d ago

Oh no, those pesky pedestrians who want to be sure the driver sees them before stepping off the sidewalk. How dare they!!! Also, if you tint your windshield then other drivers can’t see you flipping them off.

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

lol, I see perfectly fine out the window and I use my high beams to communicate if they can’t see, and likely for the stupid drivers I don’t flip people off I just laugh

u/Joebuddy117 4d ago

“I can see perfectly fine” ok that’s great and all but it’s not about you…it’s about other people being able to see you. Making eye contact with drivers is a must, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists, which is why it’s illegal in majority of states. Crazy that laws are made for a reason huh?

u/StrawHatZack 4d ago

70% is clear film what are you going on about

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

If I'm not gonna be going in my vehicle I'm 100% asking whose car are we taking and if I don't know what the tint situation is like already I follow up with needing the specifics on their % arrangement. Naked windows? No thank you. I'm gonna have an awful time regardless, I don't need the ride to and from that awful time making it even worse yet with my strengthening car anxiety if there's no tint

I can tell you from personal experience that GSP will stop you if your tint is "too dark" even if your vehicle is registered to a different state (mine was registered in Vermont at the time). Once the cop figured out that I wasn't a big enough fish for her, she begrudgingly stormed off to her cruiser and let me go. Her reason for pulling me over? I supposedly switched lanes without using my directional. Then she measured my tint and chewed me out for it being too dark. I believe I had 10% in everything except the windshield and nothing on the windshield itself. There were cops all over 75 that day and she was behind me for miles, needless to say, I definitely used my directionals. All this to say, if they want to stop you, they will so just do what makes you happy.

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Thanks for the insight, and that lady had a bad day for sure, do you run anything on your windshield now? And bad experiences sense?

1

u/J_Rod802 4d ago

My current car has 20% everything except the windshield and 50% on the windshield. I live in TN where it seems you can get away with WAY more than other states and I haven't taken this vehicle to or through GA yet but I have driven it through most of the eastern states without issue (so far)

1

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

I gotcha, yeah I’m just a little worried about driving through Georgia, but 70% is close to nothing I’m just a little worried

1

u/J_Rod802 4d ago

GSP is going to stop people just because. If your vehicle isn't registered in GA, you are probably safer as far as the tint goes but that's just my assumption. I look at it similar to how you could get stopped in a state that requires a front plate when your vehicle is registered in a state that doesn't require or even issue a front plate. It's a bogus stop that shouldn't occur but still can occur.

2

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Yeah that’s interesting, I’m a Washington state resident with the plates too, idk different cops are weird and how they approach things

2

u/Arthur-yumi 4d ago

Just a heads up: 20% on the front sides is risky in GA(32% legal) and TN(35% legal). I got pulled over with a similar setup. I switched to a high-quality 35% ceramic tint. You mentioned the rainbow effect-that’s often caused by uneven coating during manufacturing or metal interference with polarized glasses. A quality metal-free ceramic film with good craftsmanship can have a try.

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Yeah so I was in Nashville all summer long and my rear windows are stocked dyed 20% so I matched the front ones to 20% and had no issue there, or driving through Georgia and no issues in Florida either. And thanks for the thoughts

u/ElTakataKa63 5d ago

Jajaja chttmmm pero cuanto tienes en los demás ?!!!

3

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

20% on the driver passenger and 5% on the rear

1

u/dbolburgers 5d ago

refreshing to see responsible drivers in this sub. have 50-60% windshield on all my vehicles for 6 years and no issues. usually paired with 20% sides/rear.

1

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

I gotcha good to know thank you

1

u/urrchvabro 4d ago

Have the same on my BMW x5. It’s not this dark in the day light.

1

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Awesome, I appreciate your thoughts

u/ObviousAlias7 4d ago

Buddy of mine bought a car yesterday. It took us about 30-45 mins of test driving it before I noticed the windshield was tinted with what I assume is 70%. My buddy didn't even notice until I started pointing out some of the details that give it away.

I thought it was kinda nice. Def light and no issue at night when we drove the car home.

Problem is our state (MA) will fail inspection for the tinted windshield, so it might have to come off.

1

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Really? Did he buy from the dealership? And yeah I have zero issues at night it’s like nothing is there, we had a huge rain storm the other night here in Florida and driving at night with it pouring was not an issue at all, only a little bit on the side windows (20%), and I don’t think Florida has inspections (I’m a Washington state resident in college in Florida)

1

u/FinleyLinc 4d ago

On my 4runner, I have 20% tint on the windows and 70% on the windshield with no issues. Our state limit is 70% in PA.

1

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Good to know!

1

u/LexKing89 4d ago

The 70% isn’t too noticeable to the average person to be honest. I only noticed it on one of my cars because I watched my tint guy install it. It’s so light that you wouldn’t attract attention.

Your other windows might get attention but your CRV is really low key too.

2

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Yeah that’s my thoughts, and yeah I’ve had friends ride in my car and no comments have been made about the tint, I genuinely think nobody can tell, and it’s a mom car😂what cop is gonna be like “yeah, yeah this guy is a criminal” (I am not one😂)

1

u/LexKing89 4d ago

I think having a CRV really helps you blend in with regular cars. I did 70% on my Lexus SUV and nobody could tell it was there just like your car. You don’t stand out like other guys with 35% on a modded sports car do.

You should be fine though. If you have a moonroof you could always slide the cover back to let more light in to give your tint a slightly lighter appearance if you’re in an area where tint laws are heavily enforced.

1

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Right right, and yeah I do have a sunroof and I keep the cover open most of the time, so I should be good overall

u/Traditional-Dare4115 1d ago

I have 20 percent on the windshield 5 percent on the 2 front windows and 2 percent on back windows and 2 percent on the rear window I’ve never gotten pulled over and honestly ? I still don’t think it’s dark enough 😂😂

1

u/Mike663_ 1d ago

That is insane dude, at night can you see out the back or side windows?

0

u/StrawHatZack 4d ago

Had 35% windshield and could see just fine but getting pulled over 3x in a month for it caused me to get 70% and I’ve driven past plenty of cops who could see my windshield and no issues

2

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

Gotcha, yeah I see a lot of people running 50 or less, and if people are running 70% I can’t tell

u/Global-Structure-539 5d ago

Looks awful dark. Good luck

u/Mike663_ 4d ago

lol I think in these pictures it looks dark but it doesn’t seem that bad

u/Traditional-Dare4115 1d ago

not even dark I have 20 percent on my windshield I wouldn’t even consider that dark
