Echilon Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Damn, I was really hoping to have this done, but according to that page, all tinting is illegal :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveMasterT Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 i dunno about in the UK, but in NY its legal to have your back windows tinted to like %5, not legal to have anything that is next to the driver or passanger though, except int he case of a limo or a van where the passangers in the back can have the windows tinted really dark. im thinking about a %20 tint on my side windows though to see if i can get away with that, besides it will deture people from trying to steal my stereo or fuel management stuff, as well as my gauges, gauge pod, laptop, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docvenom04 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Dunno about the uk, but her down in Florida, they really don't seem to care. Most everyone I know has 5% tint on all of their windows and a 5% strip on the windshield. Guess it's because of the heat. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpshiznid Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 with 5% tint on the passenger and drivers side windows its impossible to see at night 585268421[/snapback] No it isn't.... I drive with 5% all around, with the eye brow at 5% too, and I see perfectly fine out it at night. It's illegal too, but I've yet to be pulled over for it.

serox Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Is tinting done inside the glass or is it a film you put on your window? I always wondered how it was done ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered how it was done ??? 585269720[/snapback] Most tinting is a film stuck over the glass. Basically, it's static cling plastic, and it has an adhesive layer to it. You use soapy water, and liberally apply it to the film and window, and then stick it on. You allow it to dry before you roll down the windows, and then, tada, teh tint. On cars from the factory, if they have some sort of tint, it is because they added a tinted solution to the glass while it was made. And if you do it yourself, tinting is a bitch. I have never gotten more than one window right on the first time on a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayrider Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 my friend has 5% on his Pathfinder and we had to drive at nights with the window rolled down, mind-you at the time, we lived in an area out of the city borders so there was little lighting on the roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people have been pulled over if they had dark tints. They give you a ticket and you have to get your tints off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dt26 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 below 70% VLT is illegal in the UK on the front windows, though it's still not really recommended. You can go pretty much as dark as you like with the rears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
