Its 160 here too. I don'tthink the cops will pull you over for 20%, but if they pull you over for sometyhing else you might get a ticket then for the tint

I paid $115 for my 30% tint job, I offered them more for a 25% but they wouldn't do it.

My firend just got his sonoma done this week for $135. He got 5% all around except the front. They told him it was legal, but its really dark. Looks great though. Here in TN, esp where I live, they arent too strict on it, esp. if the front isnt dark.

I had 5% on the back 3 and 35% on the front 2. Your allowed any % on the back 3 but nothing on the front 2 in Illinois. I passed local cops all the time and never had a problem. I did get 1 warning from a state boy, but he had nothing better to do at the time. It was on the highway. He wanted to get me for speeding but I saw him before he saw me and I slowed down before the radar got me. But, he pulled me over anyways and gave a warning for the tint. I think it cost me like $150 for what tint I had done.

if a cop does pull you over for your tint being illegal does he just give you some ticket that says go fix it or makes you pay a fine? |

,,,I suspect they are thinking they will get to do it twice, as soon as you get a ticket and have to remove it,,, 35% cost me $150 a few months ago...they also wanted me to do 20%, even after they told me it was illegal here... This post has been edited by 97GTinKC: Jan 21, 2004 - 1:05 PM |

The legal limit is 35% in Maryland but I know my sister has had an illegal tint on her Eagle Talon for at least 5 or 6 years with no problems and she has been pulled over many times for speeding so its not like the cops haven't had a chance to get her for it. I was thinking about getting my windows tinted and 135 sounds nice but I don't think its worth driving all the way down to Laurel when I know of a place about 30 minutes away but am not sure about their quality... |

Any tint in the driver and passenger windows in NY is illegal and having the top strip of any sort bigger than 2'' is illegal also.

I had to sign a paper when I did mine that said that I knew that my tint was illegal and they could not be held responsible.

all those prices are low, around me, its in the 300's, so i will not be getting tint any time soon, the legal limit is 35% in washington, i bet its the same most everywhere else.
