Hey everybody, quick question
what are the laws in your area for tinted windows? anybody ever been pulled over for windows being too dark? What did the 5-0 do? I've heard all kinds of horror stories. I live in Arkansas. I've got 5% and i've never gotten any heat for them

I have never even been pulled over for my windows here in arkansas, and every car i've ever had has been blacked out. Alot of custom cars have blacked out windows here,tho.... so I guess the police don't really notice. I'm sure as soon as some dumb kid with tinted windows gets in a wreck and kills somebody, they'll take notice and all of us good drivers with blacked out windows will start to get noticed.

I have 20% all around on my accord( I have pics in the gallery section) It is not legal in NY but I haven't really had problems with the cops. A lot of people in NY get 20% in the back and 35% in the front. Some people do 5% but I think that stands out more.

I have the rear windows of my 99 Sedan LX tinted half-mirrored green. They are about 15% and I'm going to tint the front two with a 35% green tint. I've already been pulled over once for my rear tint, but I was told that it was illegal when I bought it. Not that I cared though. Anyway, I think it;s just another way for the police to suck money away from people to finance their sorry asses. The cop told me that the first ticket is 90 dollars and every one after that is 130. If I get pulled over more than 3 times I might concider a change, but at this point I'll take my chances.

I live in the Newark/Heath area of Ohio, but I got pulled over on the east side of Columbus. It was on father's day too. I was on the way to the store to pick up some steaks to cook with my dad and got pulled over. ANd, to make matters worse, right as I was being pulled over, another car with mirror tint was passing by. But oh well, thats my luck. I got off without a ticket though. I'll post some pics of my car up soon to show the tint.

Well here in PA theres now clear law, from what ive found it says 70% is acceptable. and it also says that you have to be able to see inside the car. i just put 35% on mine well still got one window to do. So i guess ill find out how picky they are around here.
