nah it varies from state to state, but pretty much you can get away with 35% anywhere.

look up the laws and find out, because i don't think 5% is allowed on anything except a limo. whether or not you get pulled over would pretty much depend on what state you live in as well.

it all depends on how dark you go--main reason being that when a cop does pull you over they want to immediatly be able to see inside the vehical to make sure you don't have something you're not supposed to.

mine wasn't that dark and i never got pulled over either but then i had to take it all out for the inspection and yah ive gotten pulled over for not having a front license plate too lol

*correct me if im wrong with anything

No i dont think anything is wrong with it.. But yes if a cop does pull you over
(just my opinion if you think they would say something about your windows)
Roll them down so he cannot haggle you about it.

note: if for whatever reason you do get pulled over - turn the car off, put the windows down n put your hands on the wheel, that way the cop wont give you such a hard time - i got hit up doin 103 in a 55 - did this n told the cop i didnt realize how fast i was going explained was a new car n he let me off, ran plates n all that stuff but i was shocked as hell when he walked away =) i guess it helps a lil with workin the guy over i guess

also, in pa tint is no longer a state inspection, its just a moving violation type thing =) also... if you have an eye doctor - in some states liek delaware i know if you have a form from your optomitrist you can get away with ALL windows being 5% know some friends who did that, they get pulled over when they come visit just flash that paper n appologize for any troubles they may have caused, id deff look into it if your a lil leary about it

Thats not a bad idea, i might look into it.

I'm wondering what is meant by "inspection" I'd love to get 5% on my black vert but I'm a little nervous. I was gonna get 5% all around with about 4" on the windshield. My uncle is a mechanic, so if you mean emissions inspection, then that wouldn't be a problem.

Lucky man, i wish i had a friend who was a car inspector.


BTW guys 5% window tint is EXTREMELY dark it makes it
hard to see cars that are not lighted at night, hard to see curbs,
and just plain hard to see at night. So this is a risk that you
are going to be taking when you decide to go this dark.

Please be very careful with what you do.
