i got pulled over too in montana for having my front windows dark (20%). that cop i guess was bored cuz there were several cops passed by me and not cared except for him.must be a quota thing for him. and he wason the opposite side on I-90!

 

Any cops here to talk about this?

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.

 

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, butsame 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.

 

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.

 

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 live in MD and had 20% on my 98 Accord and never got a ticket. I do drive with the windows down 90% of the time though. I've actually got an appointment to get 35% put on my new 07 Accord tomorrow. I'd rather put 20% on but I dont want to chance getting a ticket.
