RE: My Ride's Tint - 10/25/2005 5:00:51 PM    Caliptix   Posts: 15 Joined: 10/21/2005 Status: offline The big deal about tint is when a cop pulls you over , they must be able to see inside the vehicle. The reason for this is because if they pull someone over with blacked out windows, they can't see any weapons through the glass. I know from personal experience (Military Police), I will not approach the drivers door until all windows are rolled down. It's my life not theirs! < Message edited by Caliptix -- 10/25/2005 5:10:11 PM > (in reply to Shocker) Post #: 16

In particular, I have 2 members of the family that are cops, and they both are adamant about clarifying that there is NO SUCH THING AS A QUOTA... but, we can't rule out bored cops. _____________________________ Silver '03 Honda Accord LX i4 My Car Accord Link Collection Wiki I'm Starting - http://hondaaccord.wikidot.com (in reply to trukid21) Post #: 22

RE: tinted windows - 12/12/2007 8:12:39 PM    trukid21 Posts: 171 Joined: 5/16/2006 Status: offline well they could be right  about the NO QUOTA,but it is upsetting or annoying when they pull you over for that. i understand it is their job and it is for their safety, but same reason we tint our car (IMO) is for 1. to shade much of the sunlight during hot summer days, 2. privacy or at least deter folks from staring at you while stopped on red lights/traffic. 3. keeping out interior cooler at summer.and lastly, it does look good i have to admit. seriously though, if someone is to harm a cop (god forbid) don't you think the person they pull over would have thought about it before he gets close to the window tinted or not. and as someone has said if they were not sure or cannot see the person he can always tell the driver to turn off the engine and step away from the car or roll their windows down and show their hands,or something like that. 20% on your front windows i believe is just right,not too dark but not to light either.  _____________________________ 96'''''''' accord f22b1 vtec 5 sp m/t aem sri, 234,621 miles eibach prokit/kyb shocks ngk iridiumIX plugs and plug wires magnaflow straight flow muffler 2-1/4" custom catback piping front strut bar/rear tiebar (in reply to klrspz) Post #: 23

RE: tinted windows - 12/13/2007 1:17:24 PM    Pearl   Posts: 18 Joined: 12/13/2007 Status: offline I've always done 20% on all of my vehicles (except windshield) all the way around and I have never been stopped or failed and inspection yet (knock on wood). I like the look of 5% but for me it's too dark at night. +1 for 20% being just right. < Message edited by Pearl -- 12/13/2007 1:25:31 PM > (in reply to trukid21) Post #: 24

RE: tinted windows - 12/26/2007 12:26:14 PM    Miss anonymouss   Posts: 2 Status: offline I used to drive my boyfriend's car before I bought my own and I was pulled over once because his tint was to dark. He had a 2002 Dodge Intrepid with 5% tint. We live in Pa and the limit here is 75%, but that doesn't seem worth it to get a legal tint, its to light. He just bought a acura and got a 20% tint on it, so I guess we'll see if they pull him over. As for me I have the same exact car as you. But I just bought mine and I dont have any thing on it yet. Still looking for more information about tinting. _____________________________ ~I$@B3L~ (in reply to theycallmerickjames) Post #: 25
